hey hey hey, C'est moi, le Sal Vierge, qui à vous parle. Myself and special friend Rener are back now from our fab holiday in the Fucking Lebanon. The Lebanon is not a very indie country, in fact non-stop pop music is the order of the day. But it's really good pop music, not like the shite you hear in the charts over here. Still, Rener did meet someone who recognised her Study In Stow t-shirt, but sadly he was American. She also met a nice taxi driver who wanted her to stay another two weeks in Beirut with him, but for some reason she choose to come back to dreary Dublin. And it's so dreary here. I mean, I know it's always nice in the winter when you get to wrap up warm and stuff, but does it have to piss rain all the time? that's what I want to know. Meanwhile I'm all excited at some upcoming gigs here... next week Luna are playing here, and this pleases me because I enjoyed them at the Bowlie Weekender and like their cover of the mighty Serge's 'Bonnie & Clyde'. A few days after the Jimmycake (who are very good) are playing a gig supported by THE CHALETS (who are the best band in Ireland). This will kick arse, let me tell you. Beyond that we're drifting too far into the future to know what will happen. Over in the world of the Bowlie Forum, there is a monster get together planned for Manchester in a few weeks. I think nearly everyone from These Islands is going. We're all going to stay in the same hotel and have key parties and riots and stuff. It will be cool, much cooler than anything this list has done in my time on it. that's enough for now. Smash Imperialism.
