Friday Feb 3rd - How Does It Feel To Be Loved? at The Canterbury Arms

[clandestino]

phew! well that was great fun. thanks to everyone for coming along, and huge thanks to dub for helping out when someone managed to pull out the cables in the back of the amp during "jackson". god knows how that happened. a pretty chaotic night, but lots of fun!

i'll put you on the guest list - belated birthday present!

and so he did. which was a nice surprise since i'd left the house when this was posted.

I *heart* HDIF... it was a great night and i danced for all i was worth.

Now here's how much I love ianw: I took my vinyl copy of

to PRoD several times, and when it finally got played (december) it cleared the dancefloor

At the end of last night I was in the loos and heard the fantastic brass intro, rushed out to boogie and couldn't move for people appreciating that song's perfect popness.

For this moment, ianw will always be one of my urban heroes.

they're actually really good! i'll put them up over the weekend sometime. i'm not long out of my bed...

thank you oh spanglechick! always a pleasure to play strawberry switchblade. have you heard "beach baby" by first class? a great sunny surfing pop song from the early seventies. the brass line for "since yesterday" was lifted directly from that. i can email you an mp3 if you'd like to hear it!

a very odd band as well - all sweetness upfront, but with a real darkness in their lives etc..

A belter! I'd really missed HDIF too. And 'Rusholme Ruffians' - metanang, as they say!

Great to finally meet you properly PieEye! And mucho gracias for the lift back to acid/alien towers, spangle - that saved us some grief! (Hope last night blew away some of the heartache...)

Did the music cut out at one point??? I was having so much fun I didn't even notice - and you played the Hidden Cameras, too, so Mrs PC's night was also complete.

I (heart) HDIF.

That would have been the point where Dub jumped in and saved the technicals I believe...
