GOOD FRIDAY POPTIMISM - Dancing! Live Bands! Crisps! Market Research!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

In case you didn't know, we have a POPTIMISM ALL-DAYER at the Union Tavern in Clerkenwell this Friday. We are men not beasts - by "all-dayer" we don't intend starting before 3. But if you come along at 3 you will get the FULL PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES including:

- Crisp tasting!
- Boardgames
- Martin "Lover Man" Skidmore's Smooth Soul Selection
- The GRAN'S DOLE POPRY with Tim Hopkins on the decks and Tracer Hand on a beat-up old geetar.
- Acoustical sets from top acoustical songwriters!
- Kate and the Kurves playing something which may or may not be acoustic, to be honest I don't know, but it will be GREBT I am sure!
- A special transatlantic pop love-in from MC MC and Lena.
- The usual DJ rampage from Carsmile, the Barnet Ape, and this month Matt DC and Starry Sarah.

And what am I doing in all this? Nothing less than the riotous return of the POP MUSIC FOCUS GROUP. This venerable Freaky Trigger feature was famous for being very complicated and taking 3 months to compile: now however we will get it turned around in UNDER AN HOUR* thanks to the miracle of pen and paper technology. Be there, upstairs, from 8 to 9 to have your say on the hits of 2007 so far. It'll be like a poll come to life! (except less scary).

*& then I'll post it on FT on the Saturday.

is it that song by steps?

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

steps are the perfect ending to anything, and everything, and I hope that when the earth boils away into the sun as the universe explodes into fiery nothingness the music of the spheres will finally be revealed as being '5,6,7,8'. How we will laugh, if our souls are not being tormented for all eternity by pointy-tailed demons.

No, but you aren't so far from the right track.
