Gigs!!
Much NME related activity - tonight is the Aphex Twin at the Astoria (it's sold out), and tomorrow is Trail of Dead/ Clinic/ The Faint/ British Sea Power, also at the Astoria. I think you may be able to locate tickets for this (£11) but the damn thing starts at 6pm!!
Saturday's freebie ROTA session at Notting Hill Arts Club is a bit of an epic with Kranky artistes Amp headlining, ably supported by Portal, Teleran records acts 2 By Bukowski ('a Greek GYBE' apparently!) and Yellow 6, as well as Goddie Pal and Lucky Dragons. Starts at 3pm, over by 8.30pm, all free.
More later....

Disco 2002 ! Nick Cave will cover Pulp's Disco 2000 in a waltz style for the B-side of their new single 'Bad Cover Version' (you see!?). At least that's what it says here.

Anyway, I've had a very relaxed weekend in Belfast - apart from the return of my notorious hypochondria as I visited the doctors with what I thought was the onset of DVT. Predictably, I am absolutely fine. Back in London now, bored in work, so hopefully able to get some new stuff onto the site this week.
