Re MES & Peel's record box:- I saw that program, and he *wasn't* at his most intelligible, was he? As for seeing them hereabouts:- Yeah, I probably will do if it does happen:- be rude not to, really......;-) However, since the venue's main man is trying to finesse *his* band on to the bill of a gig I'm involved in arranging for Xmas/New year week, it has to be worth trying for a 'complimentary'...... Should it go ahead, I'll try to get some pics, although I am to photography what Atilla the Hun was to world peace, largely........ [ps I forgot all about my Flickr account ! I set it up after browsing some of your work, Fergus.

As John Peel said you never know what you're going to get with The Fall, but its current incarnation are well worth seeing. I saw them a few weeks back and they were quite ferocious and intense and MES was on top form and concentrated on performing the songs rather than fiddling with guitar amps. Even if you're not a Fall fan they'll shit on fuckin British Sea Power any day, and I defy any Wire fan not to enjoy a track like 'Blindness' from their current live set. Mr Bursa will maintain that The Fall tend to raise their game somewhat when not playing in a major conurbation, so The Fall in Barrow should be worth a punt. > > Hmm. There's also AIM on boxing day, too, but I know nothing about > *them* Are they a circus troupe, or some lousy metal band, or what ? > ;-) Couldn't be further away from that! Aim are the polar opposite of The Fall. A rather dull Trip-hop/Jazz/Funk outfit aligned to the Manchester based 'Fat City' label which is responsible for perputating the annoying, backward-looking retro/rare groove scene which after 10 years still reverberates around this city like a very smelly, beardy, boring cloud of smug annoying bollocks. Very popular with brown rice-eating/Vinyl Collecting twats in Chorlton/Didsbury. Avoid! > > > --------------------------------- Yahoo! Personals Let fate take > it's course directly to your email.
