Evesham Rock City

[hirez]

Startling eighties flashback.

Need I point out that this mob were entirely not my pint of nasty bitter, served by a surly Outlaws prospect from behind the bar at the Copperfields? Whatever, I suspect that only uk_jon will get the alleged joke. The prospect's dead and Wrathchild aren't. Strange business and no mistake.

Startling turn-of-the-decade flashback. A big pile of Cisco and Sun kit left to fester in a room with an interesting deadline. All I need now is a jug of vodka-redbull, a tray of free sushi and an ugly polo shirt. It's actually, um, well, fun is the wrong word (although it is fun).

Still can't ride a bike worth a light or go for longer than three hours without stuffing food in my face, which is a bit bloody poor, all things considered. If it's not one thing it's space badgers joyriding a milkfloat through an off-licence.

Which is why I've gone quiet. Ish.

You been to the flicks and seen Wall*E yet?

Giant anti-gravity spaceship built out of old nightclubs and called "The Axiom". You been moonlighting again?

Re the food thing ... what's up? I hope you pack some snacks on your upcoming long flight!

Beats me. With any luck, just cream-crackered. The other possibilities are less pleasant.

It turns out to be not what I feared it might be (Diabetes) but probably a combination of diet, (lack of) exercise and stress-bounce.

Reminds me of the conversation I had with Vim on the bus the morning.

What do scrap prices have to go up to before they stop throwing needles away?

Oh good Lord, Wrathchild. Speaking of Evesham and unexpected musical throwbacks, I discovered my Bang Bang Machine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Bang_Machine) CD last night, whilst searching for "stuff wot to put on my Grebo MP3 compliation". Number one in Peel's Festive Fifty in 1992, apparently. That lass doesn't half sound like Liz Swarf.

One of W-C founded BBM, according to the ever-correct bastion of truth and reason, wikkidywikkidywack.

(And if you want an example of 'mate of band' entry-writing, W-C is a fine example. And since they're obviously more 'notable' than WF or CE...)

In the light of that Peel track ('Geek Love' from the 12" EP of the same name) I went along to the Guildhall to view the band. They were blown from the stage by the support, Nilon Bombers.

Plainly, you need to stretch your legs. That'll sort it out.

What are you up to over the interweeknal interregnum ?

Staying handy for places with TMobile 3G reception and networking that doesn't confuse the Cisco VPN client.

I vaguely remember going to some dodgy rock club in Evesham in about 1990 when I was training to be a BBC engineer.. can't for the life of me remember the name of it!

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Annabel's? Tiffany's?

I am given to understand it was a name something like that.

[aeia.livejournal.com]

A quick google suggests it might of been Marylyn's?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Yes.
