Vel: As April is the cruelest month, as we all know very well, I guess the 1st Sinister picnic 2001 should be on the 5th May, since it's a bank holiday etc... Good plan vellybabes, I suppose the next question is Primrose or Greenwich? Also, as was pointed out to me after my last post, the 28th is when Trembling Blue Stars and Tompaulin are playing Oxford, so i think it might be an OxPicnic kinda day anyway (or at least a Pubnic) Picklywickly: I have created a whole new genre that I affectionately call "MUPPET MUSIC". NONONONONONONO, muppet music is what 15 year olds with green hair and stupidly wide trousers "dance" to, yer green days, yer offsprings, yer snuffs etc, in my world anyway... I do kind of know what you mean though, dancing a la grover, head back, arms on imaginary sticks etc :) PF: I don't know. Is anyone gonna stick up for that LP now? I'll certainly stick up for FT (as a non-londoner maybe my view is more rose tinted) although i do find MLIR sounds much more like L than PL, and wasn't really the radical departure it was claimed at the time, especially some of the more obviously shoegazy numbers such as OW...(discussion to be finished in the queen vic, no doubt) And speaking of the Queen Vic (seamless link ahoy), it's only two weeks (and a little bit) til we board the train of fun and excitement for Camber Sands, YAY! And in case you hadn't heard, for those of you who will be in that London on the Thursday night (ie the fifth of April), there is an evening of music and dancing called AnTiciPate (do you see what they've done, do you?), Upstairs at the Garage, 8 til 2, featuring djs from Strange Fruit, Tigermilking and Mell Street Organisations (including various (ex)members of this parish) and also Gav, King of Partick from Camera Obscura band. It's only 2 squid, and simply *everyone* will be there darling.
