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.

Bah I totally picked the wrong weekend to go home (though in fairness the four-dayness of this particular weekend was one of the factors there anyway).
