had a beautifully catered lunch today and didn't even have to attend the meeting, G.'s welsh delegation late and so far too much food was made which eventually found a good home. finished off w/ gorgeous welsh cheeses bought in specially, and a beautiful fruit platter with plenty of blueberries. have stuffed some pastries into my handbag for bus- ( Read more... )

I would add to this;

In The Bleak Midwinter

(But *only* as performed by Marine Research on the John Peel Christmas Carol thingie of a couple of years back.)

ahhh but what about lauren laverne's version on its a cool cool Christmas?

The Marine Research version is many times better. It's quite, quite beautiful.

Laverne's version, although good, just isn't quite the same.

you would say that though, lets face it :-)

will you be in london to see amelia and rob behind the decks? its in brixton so i'm not sure how good the venue will be however i have been told there will be a mirrorball.

Well, yes, there is that. But then I do adore Lauren as well, though, it's just that in this case MR win. (The best ever cover version EVER is a Kenickie song, though...)

And yes, barring unforeseen circumstances - getting run over by a bus etc - I shall be at the Brixton thingie.

I'm currently debating whether or not wearing the Heavenly t-shirt would be a good idea or not.

hmm which cover would that be though? they did quite a few good ones. my favourite cover version ever is

as for the tee, are you scared you'll come across as too much of a fan or something? have you met them before?

Not heard that one.

Best ever cover is Kenickie's version of the Pixies song Letter To Memphis. The difference between the two versions is quite, quite stunning. The original is all heavy guitars etc, while the cover is a Fifties style doo-wop song. Genius!

And, yeah, there is the whole not wanting to be seen as an obsessive anorak thing, wearing the t-shirt and "oh, by the way* I do a fanzine named after one of your songs" etc. I've never actually met them; last November when I saw Tender Trap at the Spitz all dayer thingie, I had a chance to say "g'day", but for some reason a strange fear gripped me, and I just didn't feel I could go up and say "g'day". Odd. Especially when you consider that I once met Lauren Laverne while dressed in the manner of Alex, from A Clockwork Orange.

* - Do you see what I did there?

i like save yr kisses for me but i spose thats not particularly cool.

yes, i know what you mean about being frozen going up to people. i've embarrassed myself in front of loads of people in bands i like, bob stanley must quake when he sees me at gigs. i'm too scared to say hello anymore.

funny you should say about clockwork orange, one of my pals is dressing as a droog for halloween festivities tonite...
