1. Late Junction on Radio 3 tonight (11:15-1am) has something on Diamanda Galas.

2. The government are looking for buyers for Northern Rock: Steve Bell reports3. According to Thee Ackurssed Witchipedia, My Bloody Valentine sold out the Manchester Apollo in 30 minutes, Glasgow Barrowland in 15 minutes and the London Roundhouse in 6 minutes. Not bad ( Read more... )

bands, music, poor quality humour, life slipping past

I think "Beneath this lonely junction..." is probably my favourite NMA lyric for reasons I can't quite put my finger on - To me it captures what I always associate with them - a verse that captures travel[1], the restlessness of youth and some degree of futility. Maybe that's too academic. I just like it :)

[1] It's always struck me that there is a sense of going places (rather than being in a place) through lots of their work - as opposed to songs about relationships or describing static scenes.

"Still this childhood romance will never die . . ."

That's one they did play.

Yes, although a sense of place is central to quite a few of their songs. And I don't know any songs by anyone apart from Marrakesh and Family that mention the M6, which is odd given how prominent it is.

As I think I've said before, I periodically have the urge to write "I'm sorry" under the M6.

Surprised you didn't think of HMHB's M6-ster off "This Leaden Pall".

A good point, well put - I probably didn't think of it, in fact, because I've never had any idea what it's about.

Totally randomly I have an obscure cd by a band called Pain, with a song entirely about the M6 North on it.

Incidentally z - on the subject of photographing your gig tickets, I thought it would make a great background for a portrait, lying in them all spread out on a bed or similar?

Re: Marrakesh zotz November 20 2007, 19:15:22 UTC

That is simultaneously a slightly scary idea and a rather tempting one.

Re: Marrakesh zotz November 20 2007, 20:43:40 UTC

This band Pain or a different one?

Re: Marrakesh nyarbaggytep November 20 2007, 20:49:40 UTC

That's them.
If you want me to email you the track let me know what address to send it to.
I actually got the cd because it has a track called "Grow More Weed" on it that I like.

I look forward to the photo too! ;)
