this entry is going to be so jam-packed I might split it into two..
so I went to
London! it was (as usual) brilliant. but do not try to ride those
banana bikes in a skirt. it doesn't work so well and you'll just end up with holes and ladders in your tights. we went to the
Tate Modern. erm. I really don't "get"
modern art. but I went on
those slides. and I squealed all the way down Level 5. the exhibition ends on Friday so tough luck to those who haven't been on them yet!
I received a (hand delivered!!) package from
Indigo DJs today. it contained a couple of badges, and some back issues of their "joke" fanzine. it's pretty well made for a joke. check them out on myspace, they do DJ sets at various places in Manchester.
tonight I went
flyposting. with a carrier bag full of paste. classy stuff! I am officially retiring from this promoting gigs malarky after
Sunday. it's an amazing amount of effort (and I don't even know if it's worth it yet - I suspect it will be). but I'm lazy. I think this is probably the most illegal thing I've ever done. £5000 fine if you get caught..

I am going to see
Devo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
who the fuck cares about
The Libs reuniting?? (rhetorical question, don't answer it fools)
I am seeing Devo at Manchester Apollo June 23rd with my good old dad. he saw them in 1979 and almost had a fit when I said they were coming back to the UK.
now. onto my selected music for today!
FOALS. it had to be them really.
the interview went very well; Yannis is a lovely chap. here's some snippets:
"I am a big legs man".
"There's no way I'm going bald".
"Once we played to one man and his mum and a bowl of tuna pasta".
"Playing on kitchen surfaces is the best".
"I think I'm going to get a massive squid tattoo".
there's many more wicked quotes but I'm tired and you'll have to read my
High Voltage feature when it's done, and then after that I'll post up the whole thing (including the bit where we got interrupted by two people looking for somewhere to go in
Gay Village).
Foals - BalloonsHummer is out on Monday so go and buy it.
I'm actually falling asleep at the keyboard so tomorrow I'll make a shiny post filled with music rather than stuff about my escapades with paste and bikes.
Elle Milano would have filled a lovely space right here...
to fill the void until tomorrow (the morning, rather) here's a new song by Klaxons (it's one of the B-sides to Gravity's Rainbow I think).
Klaxons - Electrickery
