I have heard not ONE song from that new B&S album. Not one. I hate you ALL who have heard them, I really do...when are they played? Please? I'm going to *sniffle*
(For UK listees) 'It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career' is 'song of the week' on the Mark & Lard show this week, they've been playing it every day, and although there's only one day left if you tune in to Radio 1 between 2 and 4pm tomorrow you'll be guaranteed to hear it. And very fine it is too Nick Dastoor wrote;
Has anyone else recklessly bought tickets for Leeds and Nottingham without having any idea where they are going to stay? Youth hostel tips, anyone?
I would offer space on my floor, (for Leeds) but it's already going to be filled with assorted friends and lunatics, however I think the University might rent out rooms cheaply in halls of residence, might be worth a try. I have no idea where the youth hostel is in Leeds, a brief look at Yellow Pages is less tha helpful, but that's not to say there isn't one...If people do go to the previously mentioned 'Brighton Beach' club as post-gig entertainment it's open until 4am which, with an interlude at the local all-night caff, might just take you up to train running times. Rock biogs; There are two Phil Ochs biogs, 'Death of A Rebel' by Marc Eliot and 'There But For Fortune' by Michael Schumacher. Which I mention because the Ochs story itself is truly compelling. And sad. Brilliance, frustration, early death. It could have been a brilliant career. However avoid the Eliot as is poorly written, tends to focus on later barren and depressive years and written by a type who appears to be a freeloader and knew Ochs only in the last couple of years. Ska cd buying; 'And This Is A Ska Explosion' (Debutante) is a new, cheapish, and very fine.
