Just in case that's not clear, let me say it again: It’s Jo & Danny

...by hitch-hiking?

but good!

Bet you're smarting now, eh? No more smart alec comments from you, no sirree bob, just calm, measured, objective commentary from now on...

'The Past Is A Grotesque Animal'

Tash Hits

either that, or I'd Box Fresh.

I spoke to Ash at the Buffalo Bar recently, he was saying then that he thought things had probably gone as far as they were going to. One of the best bands I've seen in 25 years of gig-going, they will be sorely missed.

Isn't there a law against disturbing them? Good job they were filming a video and not building a bypass.

Their myspace says they're playing in Munich...?

Y

found out too late, couldn't get to the gig so they put someone else down on the list, was promised a harmonica, never received it.

What? A big siren should go off every time someone describes themselves as "sassy"

Why do you asterisk F*ck Buttons but spell out Holy Fuck in your article titles? Eh? Eh?

It's almost as though DiS is some kind of editor-less free-for-all...

This bloke wields a mean shovel...

Wonder if it'll be as well-organised as Field Day...

"Alarmed by the ridiculously high prices My Bloody Valentine reunion tickets are currently going for on eBay"

So will they keep adding dates until the bottom drops out of the market? Hmmm I wonder...

What's the answer? Who knows? Maybe a lottery where you have to enter your passport number, then bring it along on the night to gain entry. Yes, it excludes loads of people, but it's not like huge eBay prices are democratic or inclusive.

Anyone else got any ideas?

an attempt to derail eBay resales. Maybe the thinking is that if the face value is £40 then it's less likely the price will be driven much higher on eBay.

The thinking being, if it was £20 face value, then I might buy 2 and flog one for a profit - but at £40 I'm less likely to take the risk.

That said, given the crazy prices MBV tickets are already hitting (for a show in 6 months' time!) then I reckon this theory is a non-starter.

Or it could be something to do with supply chain problems on the World Puffin Market...

65daysofstatic, Charlottefield and Blood Red Shoes in 2005 :)

I think I'd probably rate Joy Division live at the Town Hall slightly higher :)

...it's the fact that there are (or might be) 2,300 people working in the "music industry" who can think about shelling out almost a grand to go to a gig. Presumably amongst their ranks there'll be a fair few who regularly bleat about "illegal downloads killing music"...

All these bands are old, rubbish, or old and rubbish.

Except Sigur Sigur Rosnik, they did that David Attenborough soundtrack, I liked that.

And Tony Wilson, he's neither rubbish nor old, he's dead.

pretty please?

CounterCulture records in Desborough; live music back at the Nags Head, London Road; Pass Out Promotions; BCUC's highly-regarded music industry management course; the town where Youthmovies formed; home of one third of Try Harder Records (err, me)

OK, that's about it.

Fact: Wycombe District Council banned live music at the Town Hall after concert-goers and the band they had come to see engaged in bouts of spitting at one another. The band? Adam & The Antz...

BOLLOX!

What I *meant* to say, in my very best sarcastic tone of voice, was that there are two Os in PROOF, now I look like a total twat, so I'm going to shut up.

...in PROOF READ.

re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-released, since it seems to have been out every year since '73...?

Does this mean that Foals will become the only band ever to have played with both Battle and Battles?

Wouldn't it be great if there was a band called Foal, then all 4 acts could play on the same bill?

OK, maybe not.

I've stopped now.

OGWT & The Tube...

<sigh>

...let's hope it's more akin to 'Give Up' than 'Plans', since the former pwns while the latter is teh suXX0r (or something)

btw Monsieur Plongeur, am generally loving yr erudite prose, but surely it should be 'cry ye not' rather than 'cry thee not'?
