These days...

Hello the world.

I've not used shuffle on Itunes for ages. Currently, The Heart is A Lonely Hunter by the Anniversary is on, and before that was FEAR, and before that was Animal Collective, and before that was Archers of Loaf, and before that was Sharks Keep Moving, and before that was Metallica, and before that was Operation Ivy, and before that was Eric B and Rakim. Wait! It's just changed! It's Spy Versus Spy!

Ok, so. We have three gigs over the next few days. Obviously they're all on our myspace gigs page, but for those who need to read the facts in plain text, the facts are below:

TONIGHT
8th October, Manchester Apollo with Maximo Park.
9th October, Chester, D'Meltin' Pot
10th October, Liverpool, Kazimier with CLINIC.

I would deffo get tickets for the Saturday one as it is also Lost Art skateshop's 10th birthday so there are chances it'll be chaos. Pop into Lost Art off Bold Street or go to seetickets.com for soe ticket action.

In other news, we've recorded a six song EP for release on Moshi Moshi next year, and are halfway through recording another six song EP, also for release next year. We're also doing a song with Paul Smith of Maximo. We're recording his lungs this afternoon at the Apollo.

I'm now listening to Rocket From the Crypt. My record collection rules.

Hope to see you over the next few days.

Liverpool on Friday and contemporary internet usage

OH HAI GUYZ.

We're playing a show in Korova in Liverpool on Friday. It's a fiver. It starts about 9pm. Possibly a little earlier. It's Alasdair's birthday. My friend is making cookies. We're playing new songs. We have some MERCH. There are plenty of full-colour posters for you to steal, you fucking penny-and-dime cheapskates. Come, party, get wild upon the wilderness.

JUST NOW:

We did this thing called "SIGNING UP TO TWITTER."

Is it any good? I keep reading about it in the weekend Guardian supplement whilst wishing that Birchill was still the columnist. BRING BACK BIRCHILL! Maybe I could update our new Twitter account with that very sentence, along with copy and pasting these paragraphs into our myspace blog, facebook, blogspot, bebo, friendster, faceparty and news page of our website.

So yeah, come read brief sentences that we think of and add us or whatever:

I hope you're all well.

LOST NOTES

DO YOU LOVE YOUR LOCAL SKATESHOP? We love ours. It's called LOST ART and they're so awesome that they don't seem to mind when those without jobs spend entire mornings in there talking absolute rubbish, drinking barrels of bitter black coffee.

Our friend Nick Brown who loves pointing cameras at us has started a sweet little youtube channel in conjunction with Lost Art called Lost Notes. So far he's only uploaded a few music clips but be sure to check back/subscribe to see more content documenting the more wonky things that happen in and around our native Liverpool.

I did a small performance of Mark Magill's (SSS, Grampus Eight, Meow Meow) Sea Shanty Number 9. We'll be doing our very own Lost Notes Hot Club de Paris performance in the nearest of futures.



Speak soon,

Love Paul.x
