Blog: Before I Disappear Into The Mud

You discover me this afternoon preparing, MENTALLY, for my annual pilgrimage to The Peterborough Beer Festival. I'm a bit afeared this year as it has been LOBBING it down with RAIN for the past couple of days and I fear it may not be the delightful sun-dappled picnic of BOOZE that it has been for the past few years. Still, I shall be there with my colleague Mr P Myland, with whom I withstood not one but TWO of the MOST RAINIEST Glastonbury Festivals EVER! We don't like to talk about it, but the MEMORIES will always be with us.

Before I go though, a NOTE about ANOTHER compilation that we're on, No More Of Your Fairy Stories, "an indiepop loveletter to The Ramones". We recorded our version of "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" AGES ago - maybe even a couple of YEARS ago - and had GRATE LARKS so doing. We knew we wanted to do it in a different musical style, but couldn't decide WHAT... so ended up doing LOTS of different versions and stringing them together. We had a LOT of fun, as you can probably tell if you listen to it, though my FAVOURITE bit is Emma refusing, audibly, to have anything at all to do with the REGGAE section. That's BRILL, that is!

We got given copies of it when we were at Indietracks, tho there were only enough to go round for The Validators to have them, so I've not had a chance to hear what the rest of it's like. Looking at the tracklisting, however, it looks AMAZING, a right proper STAR STUDDED sample of the Current Crop Of The IndiePop. I wonder how many of them ALSO did cod reggae versions? I bet it's most of them, right?

Okay then, enough chat, it's nearly time to head for the MUD - if I'm not back after the bank holiday, send a Chilean Digging Team in to get me!
