Right. Going off-line to get some tidying up done. Then a nap before heading off to see Emmy the Great at the Fleece.
In a cafe reading latest NME. Want to get home so I can listen to the Cure covers CD that came with it :)
@missmcq Am just about to spin it.
@jesselavery @ryancarson It’s the “all @replies” setting on the Notices setting screen, if that helps.
@ryancarson Although I personally have it turned on, too, as most people don’t send quite so many :S
Hmm. Lostprophets’ version of Boys Don’t Cry is pretty faithful cover. Not thrilling, but interesting.
Ugh. Think I’m going to fast-forward through Marmaduke Duke’s Friday I’m In Love, though.
Oooh, British Sea Power’s version of A Forest is stonking.
@talkie_tim Coming up next!
But frankly, for the £2.30 cover price, I’d rate the covers CD as highly worthwhile so far. And you get a free copy of the NME…
@talkie_tim Dandy Warhols nothing to write home about. Close To Me by Get Up Kids better, Futureheads’ version of Lovecats even betterer.
Metronomy’s Fascination Street not my cup of tea. Alkaline Trio’s Cut Here really splendid. Don’t worry, non-Cure fans, CD nearly over :)
@bobbyllew I understand organic polenta can be an excellent substitute, though.
Oooh, fantastic. A new Black Cab Session is out. Quick listen before I go to bed, then. http://www.blackcabsessi…
Tidying up slightly sidetracked by finding the record I bought at the weekend. Now listening to Going Underground on original 7” single.
Hmm. Might drive to the gig tonight. One of the benefits of not drinking.
Ooh, luck. Got parking space ten paces from Fleece front door. Which then opened.
@talkie_tim but then at month end / seven unexpected bills / financial winter
at some point, the act I came to see might be on…
Back from Emmy the Great. Not bad, but probably would’ve been better if I’d known the music in advance (most stuff with good lyrics is…)
@KaveyF Oooh, hello, dear! Come, join us, do not be afraid.
@sean_robbins Well, if I’d randomly liked a Durutti Column poster I’d seen in a coffee shop, I might have been there instead. Such is life.
@KaveyF Yes, it’s normally all @chrismarquardt’s fault.
@Pockless We can’t have been very far from each other, then!
@Pockless Liked the lyrics enough to buy the album, but the gig didn’t really gel. Wrong crowd, maybe, & maybe long tour has worn them down.
