All the news thats print to fit for 2000: Heres what RoTa have planned for next year: 15th Jan Stone Valley and TBC 17th Jan Rex Records Djs, Kathryn Williams 22nd Jan White Hotel, Lincoln and January 29th Jan Fierce Panda Showcase with Seafood 31st Jan We Love You Showcase with Shawn Lee 5th Feb Shifty Disco Showcase 7th Feb Le Tigre TBC 12th Feb Earworm Showcase 14th Feb Creeping Bent Showcase Nectarine No 9, Element and Speeder 19th Feb Soulwax 21st Feb Chicks on Speed 26th Feb Dreamy Records Showcase with Arco 4th March Ochre Records Showcase 13th March OH Papa M European tour kicks off in Feb starting in the UK around the 1st. Live From a Shark Cage is definately worth picking up. David Grubbs (Gastr Del Sol) will be releasing a new album and might also come over. Ditto Glyn Styler. For those of you unfortunate not to have encountered the wonderful Mr Styler yet, hes one of those old-fashioned singer-songwriters that recall Jimmy Webb, Randy Newman, Scott Walker. His Live at The Mermaid Lounge is a heart-breaking spit and sawdust affair and includes a venomous cover of Cry Me A River for when you heart as been broken by some *bastard/bitch*. Jim O'Rouke's new single 'halfway to threeway' is a charming off the shoulder number that sounds B&S'ish, Domino have pursuaded him to come over so watch those ads.
