Great things so far in 2003
•My new house (now more than just a song by the Fall)
•Three astonishing gigs by Torgas Valley Reds - well, two astonishing (Menagerie and Empire) and one very good! (Front Page) - if you don't know by now, the TVR are the people who used to be Backwater with a new name and a new set of songs
•Marion and Geoff on BBC2, absolutely unmissable, also The Book Group on Channel 4, the first series of which passed me by, but I've got into it now.
•The Mountain Goats album has been given a UK release on 4AD
•Gangs of New York - primarily for Daniel Day Lewis's performance and great set design
and the Teenage Fanclub best of is out, complete with a fine show in Belfast the other week
•Catpower's Flashy new website - (and fine new album)

and crap things...
•no broadband til Thursday 20th Feb- hence no site updates!
•warmongers

That's all for now
