Why didn't anyone TELL me The La's had reformed?

Either way it’s a good thing because Cast ran out of ideas pretty fast.

Took away his weed +/or dole money I imagine.

As though Cast had any in the first place.

`Cos honestly, Bimble, as great as their debut is.....I can't imagine them re-capturing it. Ya can't go home again and all that.

ANyhow, I didn't know they'd ever actually broken up (They'd come out to do gigss every five years or so, getting everybody excited until they heared/saw the gig etc). I know it's more that John Power is back, but there you go...

Well first of all you can't make judgements about how good or bad something is before you've heard it. Secondly, I don't know that they're necessarily reforming for any other reason than to do a few gigs. My shock was not so much in thinking of potential brilliant new material that might come out of this, but for the sheer fact that their reformation seemed so improbable given what I knew of Mavers. I mean, if you had asked me to name the most unlikely of all the bands to reform, I would have put the sheer improbability of this right up there with The Smiths.

But Mark Grout says they've done gigs before and I appreciate that information. One can't always easily learn these things in the states.

Also it does my heart good to hear BeeOK (or anyone really) mention The High's Somewhere Soon. I loved that album too and the last time I pulled it out, it still held up really well. But I see no reason to rank it above The La's album.

I'm still brand spanking new to ILM, discovered last November and than the board went away for a bit. I have been a fixture on the CMJ, and now it’s the Obner board, for a long, long time but it's nice to mention, say the High, and people actually know what the hell I'm talking about. I still love Obner but ILM has stolen my heart as of late.

Apparently (according to Stuart Moxham, who played a show a month or so back in London) the YMG have reformed & have been recording an LP.
Happens to everyone.
*sigh*.

Even so, I'm excited about the impending La's shows. Incidentally, it's looking like I have a spare ticket for the Shepherd's Bush gig, if anyone is looking for one.
