Hi List I was in London this weekend and I picked up a flyer that was advertising a night for the label that David was describing below. It sounds quite good and I wish I could go! For those who are interested heres what the flyer says: 93 Feet East, 150 Brick Lane, London "May 1st EAT YOUR OWN EARS vs TRACK AND FIELD ORGANISATION Hall & Gallery Bar 8 - 11pm £8 Eat your own Ears in collaboration with the Track & Field Organisation is proud to present a coming out night for the Geographic label. Geographic In London offers an especially rare opportunity to experience MAHER SHALAL HASH BAZ, the enchanted Japanese pop-psych outfit, led by TORI KUDO, one of the most important figures to have emerged from Tokyo. THE BILL WELLS TRIO, a beautiful expression of the Falkirk-based composer's music. Bill will be joined by long-standing collaborator, ROBERT HENDERSON (trumpet) from Teenage Fanclub and The Pastels respectively, NORMAN BLAKE (guitar and keys) and KATRINA MITCHELL (vocals and perc). Special guests are ex Jesus and Mary Chain founders FREEHEAT playing a live set introducing SISTER VANILLA, who recently debuted on the Geographic compilation. A winning combination."

I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this album yet, but you might want to check out the Geographic label's new compilation, 'You Don't Need Darkness to Do What You Think is Right'. There are some magical songs on it, and appearances from Isobel, Stevie and Mick. It has those filthy Mary Chain brothers playing with their sister, a wonderful Future Pilot song that makes you want to clap your hands like a two-year-old, and a new Telstar Ponies song (with Mick on trumpet) which you just don't want to end. But perhaps the best song is 'Me, on the Beach' by a Japanese band whose name I've forgotten. The woman's voice sounds like a gorgeous brass instrument, the backing vocals and harmonies are lush, and the whole thing is like being stroked all over. But not by the Strokes. The whole album sounds like a mix-tape, in the very best sense of the word. And, like all the best label samplers, it's cheap.
In other news, I saw a piece on Starsailor on CNN Headline News yesterday afternoon. What the f**k is that all about??
Take care,
David
