sp. Ribena. I'm sorry, I didn't read the rest of the story. I'm sure it was good though. I can't believe you lot aren't absolutely SPAZZING outXor over the news that Jonathan Richman is *supporting* Belle & Sebastian in California. That's fantastic! J. Rich in California is the perfect location! What's the weather like in California? I would love to go. In San Fran I'd make a trip to We Be Sushi! And walk across the Golden Gate Bridge and pretend that I was in the Basic 8 and that my boyfriend was a BIG GAY. Actually, that doesn't sound so great but what the fcuk. I'll tell you who are another great band: THE GOSSIP. They've just been touring the UK as part of LADYFEST - even causing me to go to deepest darkest OxfoXor to go see them and get Really Rather Sweaty. Amazing onstage dynamics, enough passion and energy to keep our flat in electricity for the next seven years, fantastic blues howling from fat chiXoR riot grrl Beth and something which reminded me how GREAT live bands can be!! Perhaps I've just been seeing too many bands who Just Play and Just Sing - and I'm WRONG. More riot! There's a lot of shouting about the GURLS and the QUEERS and the REVOLUTION which is how it should BE at this point in time. Everything is right, down to the bare feet. I can't shut up about The Gossip. Although perhaps I should. They're on Kill Rock Stars rex.
