Hey Tim
Just got back from New York myself – was over 90 degrees out there. When are you next at the Warrington? Not got a lot planned this weekend or next week. Drop me a line.
Speak soon – nice to hear from you again. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
if he plays Bristol I’m pretty sure it’ll be at the Colston Hall. I’ll see if they have a website.
And I guess that the t-shirts will be the same as last time. Did anyone see the Malkmus t’s from his gig at the Empire last month. Fairly horrible orangey things. Certainly not Sunday best clothing.
His UK gig at the Empire was great – his music always sounded better live. Not to say that the album ain’t good, there are some cracking tracks on there (and some trademark weirdasfunk lyrics – "age 19 I was kidnapped by Turkish pirates"). But he looked happy as a solo (ish) artist – expect good things.
Now that ALL THE BEST BANDS BROKE UP (Dinosaur, Archers and Pavement), the resulting new bands/solo careers are worth checking, especially Eric Bachman’s (ex AOL frontman) Crooked Fingers and Eric Johnson’s Spooky J. EB gruffly singing like the Pogues on "New Drink 4 the Old Drunk" has gotta be heard.
Bookwise – check "Powder" by Kevin (damn what is his surname). It follows the progress of a 4 piece British bands from no-ones to world superstars, from the guitarists heavy drug problems and fetish for deformed, scarred dwarves, to the liggers and hanging-on music press desperate for some attention and recognition. If I remember the guys surname, I’ll let ya know, but try to dig it out.
J’s cameo in GFL – interesting. "Wanna buy a stone?" Err….ok!
"ba ba ba da da
Debris slide"Can’t wait for April 17th @ Shepherds Bush Empire. Any London types going?
What??!!
You don’t mean….
tackle out!

How come no vinyl? There’s some great bonus tracks and lots of 10" and 7" (it’s quite easy to get things like the 7" of Bulbs of Passion/Repulsion from record fairs over here). For the 2cd set of Out There (is that the one with the stickers?) there is also a 10" vinyl disc with bonus tracks.
Start Choppin’ 10" vinyl picture disc is also well worth picking up. That was out on cd too – didn’t see it on your list. Good luck!
Hah! Now that I’ve got $100 million to splash around, I’ll be making a few improvements.<FONT>This message has been edited by Javro on January 17, 2001 at 08:59 AM</font>
