What a great idea to promise new content every day of the most sociable month of the year! I've just got back from the Rough Trade party and I'm completely hammered. Still, I got to see five 'bands' - from mid-afternoon til 8.30pm we had the Lollies, Chris T-T, Jacob Golden, Souvaris and Alex and Tracey from Lincoln. I'll try to post a review tomorrow.

Yeah well, I've been feeling rufffffff all day due to my over indulgence last night, but I do hope the staff in the restaurant enjoyed our inpromptu version of 'Dr Baker' by the Beta Band. Yessir!
I must own up and say that I have very little in the way of new content prepared, but I still hope to post new material all the way up to Dec 20, when I will be in Belfast and therefore without my computer. There are a few more reviews, a couple of features and an overview of the year to finish off.
(Naturally I would advise against holding your breath for these!)

NEWS
Founder member of Love, Arthur Lee is due to be freed from prison today. Rolling Stone have the story in full.

Back to normal today with a review of The Soft Boys and Of Arrowe Hill last night. Great gig. Hopefully more content tomorrow, but tonight is our office Xmas party so who knows what will happen.

Sleeeeepyhead! Due to the fact that I've just woken up AND I'm supposed to go along to see the Soft Boys in a couple of hours, there may not be any new content today. I'm writing two new pieces and they're just not ready - sorry!

The Clientele are the latest new addition to the site. An interview with them will be up here later this evening. This will also appear in our first proper issue in the New Year.

An all new interview with Rickie Lee Jones is our latest addition.

Ten new items in a row - even I'm surprised! The material is getting a little thin on the ground now though. Looks like we will have to wheel out some reviews of the year to make it to December 20th (which is when I have a rest!). You can post your own contributions for end of year polls on the discussion site or by email jonathan@slowthrills.com.
