the pink stainless tail at cumbersome records
A rather small crowd gathered to watch The Pink Stainless Tail do an in-store gig at Cumbersome Records (yes, it's taken me this long to finally see them). My girlfriend suggested that if there wasn't a band setting up behind him you'd think Simon Strong was about to give a speech - when the band arcs up he's still got a bit of a growl going on, mind you. They played until Nick's hand hurt (after having his car pushed through the front window of a video shop on Smith St by a truck the night before!). Go buy their new EP, it won't cost you much for the sound of a few old blokes having some fun.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of ThingsTM.

Yeah, I've grabbed some of the ledatape stuff - I oughta grab the rest of it soon (i wasn't at the rob roy show - the cumbersome gig was the first time I finally managed to get myself to one of your gigs!).
I'd been after Concrete Island for ages, and found it last week along with the Atrocity Exhibition - i'd read Crash years ago (finally saw the film a few weeks back - god, what a mess), and High Rise not too far back, and there's a few people on flickr.com starting up ballard-related groups like this and well, sorta this (there were a few others that I've lost now).
I've still gotta work my way most of the rest of the stuff on yer site, too - loved the neil palmer "cambridge post office" one :)
