Aaargh!

I'm quite torn about this. On the one hand, it'd be interesting to see what 'that boy' will do with this orchestra. On the other hand, I quite strongly dislike more than one band on the bill.

I might well be tempted to go down to this, if nothing else to put my London feet in Glice's home turf. Ya check me, Bristol blud?

Man dem a welcam round man like Glice towr any time bredin'. Check dem a shoe a dem door an naa be fassi.

Easy for you to say that, you're on the bill. I'm going to have to pay £15 for the privelege, plus £rape for drinks.

Statistically speaking, the proportion of 'people in cbp' to 'musicians in Bristol' is so close that I might, on average, be a member of them.

Drink! Yes. You going to 'that boy's' deely on the 18th? I'm doing strings again.

Well, I can't say I'm not tempted, but I keep on seeing that twentyonepoundsandseventyfivepenceincludingbooking feeandpostage price tag and my finger moves away from the "yes I'd like a ticket" button.

Just how special are these special international guests? Special enough that I should mortgage my next door neighbours cat to get a ticket to see them?

Can I have your fifteen quid ticket if you don't want it, Glice?

EDIT - The special guests aren't bloody SunnO))))))))))))), are they? I'm sick and bloody tired of SunnO))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I think the special international guests are ZU...

and they're worth money live.

zu playing dublin very soon..cant wait for it

Fuckin' 'ell! I didn't realise it was £20 now. Sack o' AIDS. You can't have my £15 ticket as I don't have one, but you're more than welcome to kip on my sofa.

It wouldn't surprise me if Sunn weren't the guests. Fat Paul has a massive O'Malleyrection.

This should be good. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

And the trip to Bristol in general which is usually worthwhile...in record shopping terms if nothing else.

hey iain!
how's your mug?

p.s. ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU!

You might want to PM me if you want a heads up on record stores - there's a lot have closed down in the last while. If nothing else, you should check out Cherry Picked records on Stokes Croft in the Croft, which is new-ish and is probably up your alley.

Aye, I've kept fairly up to date on the status of Bristol record shops...I think. I've been to Cherry Picked but I always forget about it...I usually concentrate on Plastic Wax, I usually come out with a bunch of stuff there. There's a new one in the market called Wanted which is really good. Fair bit of jazz and a small but decent avant garde section.

Very well thank you. I just don't seem to find the time to post here anymore....

Yes, this was indeed a good night.

Highlights were Though Forms, Zu, Team Brick and what I saw of Gonga. I left about halfway through to go downstairs to watch Fuck Buttons who were pretty dissapointing. I'm not a massive fan of theirs but they don't usually leave me as utterly bored as they did on Saturday. Not really into the new stuff at all I don't think.

Two thumbs up to everyone involved in organising as everything went swimmingly and pretty much band on time. Good work.
