Steve Temple

It doesn't seem to affect his pulling power, to incredulity of anyone with eyes

He plays bollocks jazz, believe me. I'll buy your ticket

I agree, to an extent. The latest LT brochure offered few high-profile acts, other than people who have been before (Chris Hillman, Bert Jansch). The thread on favourite LT gigs shows what great alternative bands have played at LT over the years, but it's more than likely that few people on here will have a favourite gig from those offered for the next 6 months But then again, maybe a lot of bands are occupied with playing at festivals or recording albums just now. And i'm sure the place would've been full for Bert Jansch, anyway

Leif and me are going today, and I haven't read a comic since I cancelled my subscritption to the Beano back in '97 (seriously), so I hope this film has something for non-comic book geeks as well

The 7th of July? Edinburgh will have ceased to exist by that date, a few days after a million protestors have descended , and been summilarly nuked

Having finally listened to work of the great Zeenat, I can only say it sounds exactly as I'd imagined it: e.g like Nick Drake doing a raga, but perhaps slightly less eastern than that sounds, except on Sundara (part 1) which is something quite magical

Five that advance the argument for modern dancing: Discortraxx - Ladytron Song Seven - Interpol Almost Medieval - The Human League Tour de France (2003) - Kraftwerk Man Is Not A Bird - Broadcast

I think Jah Wobble reconfiguring Ode to Joy gig was another Unknown Pleasures venture. That one was .............interesting

Yeah, I just wasted an hour of my life on it, and by the end I was feeling pretty stupid for having declared to no one in particular :"Man has NOT been to the moon" after 15 minutes of it. Damn my impressionable self

Yes please Just when i was looking for an excuse to go out this Saturday.... Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever going to happen

You should slam it on in the 'dus this Saturday. If it wrecks the decks (!), tell management that Maxwell poured beer on them

I was going to say Liars, but I'll go for something no-one's yet mentioned: Broadcast supported by The Projects. An amazing journey into a retro-futurist idea of space Is no-one going to mention Willard Grant Conspiracy? (see how I cunningly get round offramps rules by mentioning 3 gigs)

D'oh, that's where I've been going wrong in my efforts to conquer it

Like I say, I'm in. I need Narc and Leif Erikson to confirm or deny, tho

Does it have more than 2 notes? If so, it 's the height of decadence compared to the solo in Boredom by The Buzzcocks

Bloody bollocks p.s.When are you going to get The Waterboys back?!!

"Saying I've got nowt?"

The Go! Team were indeed the funkiest funeteers this side of Funkatonia, and their singer has the best ass in the world. As I've said elsewhere, the Kaiser Chiefs were actually pretty good, but Eels were something else. I'm quite convinced E is the greatest genius in pop: "have you ever felt too much, for someone you're never going to get to touch? Hey man, now you're really living" On a side note, the band fronted by E's near-namesake (ie The Fall) were absolutely shite last week

Incidentally, my opinion of Kaiser Chiefs has improved greatly having just seen them on Later with Jools Holland. I'd never noticed their lyrics before, and how critical they are: "Watching people get lairy, it's not very pretty I tell thee". I'd previously thought they were celebrating drunkeness. But then I'd misheard the chorus as saying "I drink to it!"
