Oh, was this 2006? I don't think I've seen it on anybody else's list. It was damned good. Second instance of horrid cover art in a row from Simon, but a much more interesting album than his last one. I'm giving the Destroyer album another spin, but it's still grating more than grabbing. Does it just suffer by comparison to the New Pornos, or am I right in thinking it's a bit overly precious? (I mean, being overly precious is apparently a ticket to superstardom these days, but it's just not my bag, having passed on Belle & Sebastian the first time around and finding the Smiths' listenability plummeting with each passing year).

The line up on Saturday was me on guitar, Terry Edwards on keyboards and horns, Paul Noble on bass, and Morris Windsor on drums and vocals. On Sunday we were joined by Kimberley Rew on guitar and vocals. Compere/auctioneer on Saturday was Mark Ellen, on Sunday it was Adam Buxton. The shows were organised by Michhle Noach and Deke Eichler. James Kliffen from MSF spoke about the situation in Darfur, which is the money raised here will be targeted. We'd like to thank everybody who came along to support MSF and give us an excuse to play this unbelieveable music. Many thanks!
