I know those guys dig all kindsa new and old sounds and styles. They just like that stuff the best. And 50 (actually 80 was the offical headcount I'm told) people thru the door is fine. More room for dancin! Dancin' to SKA?! Easy baby. Just loosen up and forget all you know or were told. Earthy. JA pressings?! Man, nothing like a huge wad of paper stuck right in the vinyl. Usually a rizla too! Matt wrote: >>>> My point was that we need to embrace it all, cos there reallyisn't that much left to draw on anymore (r.e. Dorian's comments). .... The best of both worlds, hoping to bring togetherhipcats and psychsters alike.

When I went to BB I found it frustrating that Mark Ellis played track after track of great stuff and then the next guy (shall remain nameless for fear of endless reprisals from the psyche heads) played track after track of crap that cleared the floor! And I certainly wasn't gonna go and listen to Oasis in the other room. I know what you mean tho and if the DJs are great, no problem. I guess I'd just wait for a night that the lineup is solid. No different than going to see bands. Sitting thru warm-up bands with no talent to see a headliner at 2 in the fucking morning makes me fucking nuts. Back to business... AIF, Colin np: Pink Fairies earlier but nothing right now, thinking about some blues though. ===== COLIN http://www.mohairsweets.mb.ca ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
