Hmmm.

All Tomorrow's Parties have apparently arranged for the House of Love to perform their first album in Camden in September. And some Yankee outfit called Sonic Youth are going to do Daydream Nation in August. Why do you people never tell me about these things?

And . . . and . . . I thought you loved me. Why has nobody mentioned that their April festival in the Minehead holiday camp is going to involve the first performance in about 25 years by The Only Ones? Don't you think I want to know this stuff?

But but it's more exciting for you to stumble across the info by yourself : )

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

I didn't know about any of that either. Got any links?

The ATP festival this April is the most tempting it's ever been - but I'm already booked to go to Whitby. Still not sure I can face the thought of three days in a holiday camp anyway.

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

Bugger Sonic Youth are sold out already. :(

[zotz]

If it's any consolation, Bob Weston is apparently telling anyone who'll listen that the new Shellac album will be out around the middle of this year.

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

Just found tickets directly from the Roundhouse. Have gone for seated in Level 2, given that it's August 31st and it will probably be hot as hell. Hope I don't regret that!

[zotz]

The usual complaint is that they don't play enough of their pop songs, which doesn't seem likely to apply in this case.

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

I saw them in the early 90s and don't remember feeling disappointed, but I don't actually remember much at all. :}

It was only the choice of seating I was worried about regretting, I'm sure this will be a great gig! (Wish it were EVOL or Sister though...)

[johnnyrandom.livejournal.com]

If you haven't already...look up Shellap on myspaz. Funny.

[zotz]

Which one? There seem to be several.

[johnnyrandom.livejournal.com]

Nope...only one. Shellap. The track myspace amused me.

[zotz]

Got it now - cheers. Yes, I like that too. I think I automatically assumed Shellap was a typo. Sorry.

[zotz]

Wow. Big Black played an anniversary gig last year. Touch and Go Records' 25th anniversary party.

Where was this? Please tell me it wasn't in London!

[zotz]

Chicago.

LJing into a void, clearly.

I was in Iceland when you posted that! I think I did say on my return "if there's anything I've missed...".

Re: LJing into a void, clearly.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

I never know what to do with posts like that. It always seems a bit presumptious to answer them.

(And I was running in small circles by then)

The photos are good, mind. Makes it even more unfortunate that I couldn't afford to go.

Re: LJing into a void, clearly.

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

Trust me, if it's about music you are not being presumptious! :)

[purplerabbits.livejournal.com]

Are you up for Spiritualized Acoustic Mainlines in April?

[zotz]

Glasgow?

[purplerabbits.livejournal.com]

That's the bunny - I am generally prepared to travel for Mr Spaceman.

[inulro.livejournal.com]

Hey, I liked to the web site the other day but I didn't see The Only Ones on the lineup list. I almost certainly can't go, so have to admit to not looking that closely!

Not that I can plan as far as September, but in theory would very much like to see House of Love.

[zotz]

The crucial three words weren't necessarily there a couple of days ago.

[zotz]

The news went up on Peter Perrett's website yesterday.

[randomchris.livejournal.com]

Because my only criterion for your music taste is "if I've never seen this band mentioned in mainstream media, zotz probably likes them", which is perhaps a little too broad :)

[zotz]

Possibly a little too wide, yes. Thanks for the thought, though.

Now, if only Hugo Largo would give it another go . . .

[juliet]

Aw, man, I *still* can't afford either the leave or the actual money for the Minehead ATP, & now I want to go even more :-(

I shall console myself with Glade, & hopefully Glastonbury.

[zotz]

Aah. Well, there is an Only Ones/ Glastonbury rumour.

[juliet]

[squeaks in overexcited fashion]

That would be *ace*.

(Goddammit, why isn't it festival season yet? I wish to be in a nice field with music, & not in my office!)

[darkstones.livejournal.com]

I'm going to join in the footstamping and pouting because I only found out about The Damage Manual today, and that's only because they invited me to their myspaz.
In case this one's passed you by too, TDM are Geordie from Killing Joke, Jah Wobble, Martin Atkins, Chris Connely from RevCo and Steven Seibold from Hate Dept.

Oh! That's like PIL without the wanker at the front...

[darkstones.livejournal.com]

Sort of - except that you'd really need Keith Levene to make 'interesting period' Pil or John McGeoch for 'rock period' Pil.

Whic reminds me, John McGeoch's daughter Emily is selling off some of John's records and stuff. It's a shame, but it would be nice if they went to a good home.

Cliff Richard salt and pepper shaker?

[darkstones.livejournal.com]

Maybe he nicked it off Howard Devoto ;)

You did scroll down didn't you?

[zotz]

I saw the records and things as well, yes, but I didn't know at first that some things would be tagged McGeogh's, so I vaguely thought it would all be his and . . . well, it was an odd thing to see first.

[darkstones.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see.

See you later on tonight.

[anonymouseth.livejournal.com]

you should've asked .. we've been playing TDM for about 3 years now at gigantor :)

[darkstones.livejournal.com]

How can I ask about the existence of a band that I haven't heard of?

Scratches head.

[anonymouseth.livejournal.com]

the management would like to advise all patrons that the comment above contains blatant tomfoolery.

[darkstones.livejournal.com]

Ah, OK, next time I'll ask then :)

[grendelis.livejournal.com]

eek! :)

[darkstones.livejournal.com]

Is that a good eek or a bad eek?
