I think this is basically me now. Although I think I might think of myself as from Edinburgh now... Altogether classier.
Obviously the term 'Belgian nu beat' passed me by back then. I'm kind of glad it did in some sense. It was something to do with a guy swimming. On the chart show at least.
It doesn't sound like your sort of thing Peter...Did you go to this '1992'? Amongst others, I went to a semi-crusty club called 'Delerium' in 1992. They played Ozric Tentacles.

Finnish bands were amazing. Wolf Eyes blew me away.
I randomly got spotted at Mayer thing by ILX dudes, who were all lovely people... it was great to meet some real ILXers.
I think my friend's friend Marceline actually lived in the flat ILX dudes went back to.

i don't think i spotted any ilx or ilm'ers all weekend. perhaps name badges would be a help in future? i might have seen some at mayer but much had been drunk by that point in time.

Mr.Stringbender, I am intrigued by your Belgian Nu Beat past. Incidentally, my current plan is to come to London for a 'knees-up' around the old Joanna, maybe Sunday/Monday/Tuesday next week? How does that sound?

I also enjoyed the Finnish hippies on Friday - particularly ES - and lots of the noizemakers on Saturday night, tho' I found Wolf Eyes a bit jockish this time round (w/ his meaty arm punching and freshly shaved head John Olson now looks like one of the High School Nazis in Animal House or something...) - INSANELY loud tho
My highlight was actually Hototogisu on Thursday night - Matthew Bower and Marcia Bassett from Double Leopards making VAST drones from just gutted gtrs microphones and amps - pure white light from the mouth of infinity - Virgin Eye Blood Brothers also dished up some gd sick shit right after
I sort've fell in love w/ Glasgow

but no matter. it's all part of the fun. I saw that Fabrice Lig track in Rub-A-Dub the next day but didn't listen to it, I'll be gutted I bet when I download it off your gmail and like it.

Had fun in Stereo earlier watching karakoe and then some kaelie (sp?)
Glasgow is a grand city, I loved Kelvinhall park.
Cozen, Sonar beers soon come.
