Took advantage of FA Cup Final fever throughout London and went shopping in bizarrely empty record shops. Particular highlights were the M>O>S on Rushhour (I wish I had a Robert Owens accapella to play over the 2nd track), UR's "Transition", Charles Webster's remix of Lanoiraude and the latest Farben installment on Klang. I'll big up Sean P's "Disco Not Disco 2" (even if I didn't get a free copy) as well, featuring such classics as Eddie Grant's "Timewarp", Yello's "Bostich", Arthur Russell's "Let's Go Swimming".
Went to see Metro Area at Plastic People but it didn't all go according to plan. For a start, being bank holiday weekend, it was rammed. Having all the gear set up in the middle of the dancefloor as an unfortunate necessity, I suppose (there's nowhere else), but you couldn't dance/move on the dancefloor, and at points hardly breathe. MA came on at about 1am, but only played half a track before something crashed. By 2am they still hadn't started again and I was feeling ill so headed home. Only to discover froma friend the next day most folk had left not long after and when Metro Area restarted their storming set, everything was hunky dory. Damn :) When I sang my cat meowing version of Metro Area 1 down the phone (I sing it to my cat quite a bit), he told me they played that one last and it was ace. No doubt, you wee &^*(! One last thing, they may have finished on the wrong side of the SPL split but at least Dundee United can boast one of the best choices of anthems - I watched (sorry, quite bad film *IMO*) "Strictly Ballroom" last night, and at the end they played it and brought a massive grin to my face - "Love Is In The Air". So there. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
