Alex Chilton does gig occassionally nowadays, played about 8 months ago
here, my mate went and apparently he kind of just played a load of jazz
stuff and no Big Star stuff which pretty much pissed off everyone who went.
Except Kevin the hipster.

I don't think there's any great problems getting a hold of I am the Cosmos,
I'm not too sure, maybe Mr.Mitchell, Mr Hopkins and Ms.Kerr can perhaps
confirm a sighting of this when we were around the shops on Saturday... it
rings a bell for me anyway.

Cheers,
    Keith.
