Greetings, I've just rung Leeds City Varieties and they've confirmed that Gorky's aren't playing tonight, or indeed for the rest of the tour.It says as much on nme.com and has been posted on other webrings but i thought i'd check you'd got the message but I thought it was worth finding out from the venue knowing the general unreliability of nme.com journalists. Apparently it's being postponed until mid-July, with all bought tickets still usable. At least they've got a proper excuse: Norman Blake's daughter is in hospital after a car crash; none of the promotional commitments crap we usually get fed when a band don't sell enough tickets. Still, just in the hope of catching a few people before they set off with a general gorky's anticipation in their hearts only to be turned away by a cleaning lady who thinks you are looking for a mad primate. Apart from that disappointment i have had a lovely day sat in my garden listening to Legal Man. It made me very happy and I had to be calmed down with a glass of orange squash and a digestive biscuit, both of which are always guaranteed to dampen the spirits. I maintain the belief that digestives are the creation of evil scientists to see if we will eat dog food if it is marketed as a human product. Which means I can never eat one without imagining a bearded professor sat in a room chortling away at the sick joke he has played on society. But the music was great and I love Judy.. more than legal Man itself. It is on 'repeat this track'on my stereo, which I know is not sensible in the longrun as the novelty is completely lost, but it's very nice for the moment. Cheerio Grace And she spent the rest of the day separating the bits from the marmalade, or, if you prefer, the marmalade from the bits. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
