<DIV><FONT size=4>As Paul was saying we indeed had a good time singing songs in
the Church - that was a strange experience. The longest day was ace too and it
was great meeting JJ and the Blairs, whom I spent time with in Bar Miro (where
we drank booze) and then the park watching Teenage Fanclub. The longest day
reallly is totally great, a free concert, how top is that, it was beautiful too,
the weather was lovely and everyone had a great time, I'm not even all that big
a Teenage Fanclub fan, but I enjoyed it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4> We kept our eyes open for Dave, but we
didn't see him, were you there Dave? Didn't see any of the other bands really so
I can't comment on them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4> Also, I had an idea as to how the Luddites
can deal with CD's. If you buy one 7" single (it doesn't have to be a good
one) and slip it out of its sleeve and pop it on the record player *whilst*
playing your cd player, after track one, jump up and turn the thing over, you
can repeat until the CD is finished.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4> Myself, the same as some others went and
bought CD players cause they wanted their record collection to last the rest of
their lives. I'd say that if anyone claims that records last a lifetime and
don't deteriorate in quality massively then they're simply not playing them
enough. It was actually Screamadelica that pushed most of the people I knew into
buying a CD player cause it is I'd say almost perfect for CD and was one of the
first albums as such, it's too much of a pain in the arse to turn the record
over after every three tracks. Still, for all that there is another argument pro
records, what I kind of miss is the defined difference between the first and
second sides. I suppose for a glaringly obvious example David Bowie's Low, which
is completely different on side one and side two, songs on side one and ambient
stuff on side two (the record was originally going to be called New music for
night and day) and this is kind of nice.</FONT></DIV>

debate.</FONT></DIV>
