apols if someone has already mentioned this, but there i was happily drifting off to sleep whilst mrs carsmile watched seinfeld (splingedy bingedy boing). As the programme finished, and the cry of "oh god, a new fat-tongue-boy series" (actually it was a bit ruder than that, but i'm feeling polite today). I thought "this music sounds familiar" in my drowsy state, but it was only as the advert finished and i started singing the beginning of dirty dream #2 to myself that i realised that JAMIE OLIVER HAS B&S ON HIS ADVERT FOR HIS NEW SHOW!!!! the funky bit at the end of a spaceboy dream to be precise (ie possibly one of the least b&s-sounding bits). Still better than arseloader, eh? moving on to my blatent plugging, which i am only doing as it is for CHARIDEE and a GOOD THING IN GENERAL. <plug starts> BENEFIT CLUB NIGHT ANNOUNCED FOR VICTIMS OF TERRORIST ATTACKS ON USA LondonIndieUSA 12th October 2001, 8 PM - 1 AM The Betsey Trotwood, 56 Farringdon Road, London EC1 Nearest Tube: Farringdon Entry £5 Following the horrifying events of the 11th September, London's indie community has come together to organize LondonIndieUSA, a benefit night in aid of the victims of the terrorist attacks on America. All proceeds from this club night will go to the International Red Cross. London's indie scene has enjoyed strong long-term links with America, with bands crossing the Atlantic in both directions, and fans finding common ground online. Every indie fan in London has friends who have been seriously affected by the recent attacks. This benefit is an attempt to reach out and offer support. LondonIndieUSA will take place on the 12th October at the Betsey Trotwood pub over two floors. More than a dozen DJs, representing several of London's regular indie nights, will be taking part. They'll be playing everything from full-on pop to experimental eclectica, with the emphasis on dancing and fun. Records, memorabilia and booze will be raffled for charity during the evening. Oh, and the Betsey Trotwood is fully licensed until 1 AM! This is a unique event, a chance for London's indie scene to show how much the friendship and community Americans have shown us means. The fact that it's going to be the best indie night out this year is, as they say, a bonus. Doors open at 8PM and entry is £5.

From what i can see there are at least 7 listees on the decks (including me ;)), and several more involved in organisation etc. If anyone wants to know anything else (and yes, we know there might be a tube strike next friday) or wants to help out, drop me a line :)

hopefully see some (lots?) of you there xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
