Anyone...

...still here? I was listening to this:


and stumbled across this Florence And The Machine track:


Excellent. Had seen the odd tip in the press but hadn't had a listen (and I'll admit here and now that initially I thought it was Kate Nash!). I like it when it goes a bit WOOOOOOOAAAAAAR at the end.

Carry on.

* also includes a Hot Chip track remixed by Fake Blood - EPIC WIN :)

Show off alert: I play poker with one of Florence and the Machines band.

Nice.

My daughter goes to playgroup with the son of the sister of the bass player in Shed Seven.

15-all, your serve.

Alison said...

Erm... I once made sandwiches for Stiltskin.

fourstar71 said...

Oooh, that's good.

My wife's second-best friend is engaged to the ex-lead singer of Yorkshire indie darlings, The Shanks.

30-all, new balls please

Alison said...

Ooh raising the stakes.

Let's see, I was at 6th form with Guy Garvey from Elbow, and have a photo of him reading poetry in my bedroom in about 1990.

Alex Andronov said...

I think Alison should get two points for that!

fourstar71 said...

Oh. I see. Playing the old "photo in my bedroom" card, eh?

Right.

I went to sound engineering college in 1993 (and subsequently shared a house and started a Leftfield-esque electro-dub band) with an Irish chap who grew up in Derry, next door to Peter Cunnah* from D:Ream.

* apparently, and I quote, he was "an utter cock"

Alex Andronov said...

Or maybe only the second point if we can see the picture

@Alex: To be honest, it's pretty hard to beat the Stiltskin sandwiches...

Alex Andronov said...

@fourstar:

Very true.

I'd like to join in but my stories are all to great to count ;)

fourstar71 said...

@Alex: Yes, I know - actually, if you can get me Lauren Laverne's phone number, I'll...







...sorry, what was the question again?

Alex Andronov said...

No she never gave me her number...

She told me to f*ck off, but only by accident.

@Alex: "Lauren Laverne told me to f*ck off by accident" probably beats "Stilitskin sandwiches". Or does it?

I sense a Dylan's Teeth Accidental Celebrity Knockout Cup competition? Last 16?

Alison said...

I would have entirely forgotten the 'Stiltskin sandwiches' story myself, except I once told it to Joe and he reminds me of it at the slightest provocation.

I'd have told them to fuck off by accident if I'd had the chance.

I regularly use to drink in the same pub and so p*ss in the same urinals as Dr Feelgood. I also had a beer once with Garry Bushell (when he wrote for Sounds)...
