fuck yeah!
they'll record the new album in my fuckin' city!!!
aaaaaaaaaargh!
will send an email asking for permission to go there and take pics and stuff.

Hey Nicfit, will you record them?

hope so.
I still don't have a decent external mic, so I'll rely on my faithful edirol's built in mics... actually I sent them an email asking for official taping permission, so we could (if they have enough time to reply) get my first ever aud+sbd recording :D, aud with the edirol, sbd with minidisc + whichever kind of cable is hookable to the sbd .

I'll try and have a handycam lent to me for the night... would be sweet, but it's all a work in progress, don't get too excited...yet.

Furthermore, I asked if there's a chance to get to see the recording sessions, making a sort of diary/pic gallery would be ubercool...

WTF YMO is touring??

Happy end reunion? please

where in the uk are you

I'm a bit annoyed that I've promised to do things for other people this weekend, meaning I won't get to mince about Stokes Croft complaining about Afrikan Boy not playing.

gza/genius was going to be next but that got postponed until november, so:

june:
sightings + 16 bitch pile-up + justice yeldham
kayo dot (maybe)
melt banana
high on fire
negative approach (maybe)
comets on fire + sunburned hand of the man

july:
oren ambarchi
asva + gravetemple
oxbow + harvey milk
wooden shjips + the heads
wu-tang clan (maybe)

Negative Approach
Oxbow
Richard Youngs & Alex Neilson
Converge

Are Converge playing London? I'm totally there if so.

Yep, twice! Sun 13th July (when I'm going) and again on Friday 18th July.

just one show i think, not a tour, 15th of june.
i'm in london.

NNNNYYYAAAGGRRAAHHH!!!

Sightings finally tour Europe and they skip the fucking UK, 4 years I've been waiting for this! 4 YEARS!

not sure at all, but probably flaming lips in october.

everything else is up for grabs.

I know what you mean. Four years ago they were supporting Lightning Bolt in Amsterdam, while I went to the Rotterdam show instead thinking I'd get to see Sightings another time... If I'd known then that it was going to take them 4 years to get their lazy asses back over here I would've made the effort, surely.
I rarely even listen to them anymore nowadays, but I'm still happy to see them live finally.

i just got offered free tickets to see avril lavinge, it's too bad i'm not fucked in the brain.

And hopefully this time Oxbow will go for the full on rock treatment, even though that last time the duo was sweet. When and where are Converge playing?

Sorry missed this post of yours. I'll check where they are playing. Camden Underworld?
