i am off to barca to soak this up, i simply cannot wait.
I'm liking the fact that
the good word of Fujiya & Miyagi seems to be spreading. Transparent Things was one of my favourite albums of last year
I'm gonna go I think
Shame its not camping, but I guess you get to stay in beautiful Barca, so its OK.
oh my god - its fate!
I was just trying to debate what to do this summer holiday (which for me starts on the 28th May and ends on the 26th of June.
AND i have always wanted to learn a new language, so i was looking into doing a month long intensive spanish course in spain (not barcelona, but i want to swing by there at some point)...
... and then i read this! FATE!
I'm going.... hmm... but have noone to go with :-(
...best lineup ever...
and fennesz and patton are playing... fuck me.
is alexander tucker on the atp stage?
does he just mooch around sheepishly in the corridor of the atp records office, offering to make cups of tea and take the post until barry hogan gives in and puts him on the festival bill?
