The Good News Thread

[perfectpassion]

OTHER LIVES have now arrived in London, phew, am tempted to go and see them before EoTR, but probably not possible. There is a track of theirs on the 'free' cd with The Word magazine this month.

I have to admit BH may be right....

Bump them up a stage

[Yokel Again]

Heard a Lanterns on the Lake song on 6music earlier - BLOODY BRILLIANT! Am going to check them out as hadn't heard anything before.

Will be arriving on site in 3 weeks today and a couple of hours!

I've got some new shoes. That's good news. Well, it will be if their sensible design doesn't hamper my moves.

Good news - Spectrals are apparently playing! I have no idea where or when, but I've asked him on Facebook.

[shoebox]

Heh, decidedly black and decidedly outdoors-y. Most un-me. I shook my head in shame at the fact I've succumbed to sensible outdoors clothing. It's just not right

in the spirit of the OPs request, a quick five point good news post:

- mrs RL finished a hard couple of weeks at work and is off for a fortnight, spending next week with her mum and our niece. nice.

- just finished a bubbly mixtape (i got will sheff in there, believe it or not) that sounds very summery indeed.

- england at edgbaston

- we just got invited to a bank holiday weekend party from the house that has great wine (good warm up for eotr, i might take the mix tape eeek)

- found some willing victims to come and see wild beasts in november, having assumed i'd be solo again

Good news is I just received my ticket for EOTR, which I bought from another forum member.

I'm now very happy and can't wait for the festival.

Also, it's Friday. That's pretty good news.

[riverlodge]

Today I got a Spectrals ep and Diagrams cd!

Yesterday I got tkts to see Agnes Obel at the Union Chapel in Nov, I would have loved to see her at EoTR.

Most impressed with Spectrals, playing it now

[ljsawyer]

Just got the last of the 10 CDs I bought off ebay for about £23 in total! It's Drill A Hole In That Substrate and Tell Me What You See by Jim White, who apparently played End of the Road back in 2007. It's a beautiful album, maybe he might play again one day?

Also got FOUND's new album in physical form, Where The Humans Eat by Willy Mason and Escondida by Jolie Holland - some great buys there.

[seadragon]

I saw Kozelek at Field Day and he was nearly drowned out by music from the fairground rides and something called Dance Party 4000. He was really annoyed but still played well.

I have tickets for Mangum and the Mangum ATP (Might go to Felice Bros too).

[perfectpassion]

Oooops crossed posts, I very nearly said I bet you have already seen them lol. Sorry about the Love Language thou, now bumping up posts again!

There is a new "quiet" camping area.... Wherever it is, its further away!!!

[perfectpassion]

Richard Hawley has said he's "not sure" if he is DJing....I guess that means yes?

[Yokel Again]

Heard a track by Other Lives yesterday - loved it! So in the last week or so there's x2 more bands I'm hoping to catch. I haven't needed to do the annual pre-EOTR myspace trawl this year there's so many people I want to see already.

2 weeks 2 days!

Also, the little one seems to no longer scream when putting her ear protectors on. maybe we'll see some bands after all!

[ElGanzo]

Where has the summer gone this year?! Not looking forward to the summer being over but luckily I have the ever brilliant End of the Road to look forward to. Is it really just over two weeks to go?! Cannot wait!

And I finish up at my current job on Thursday -

[riverlodge]

I also have tickets for the rugby world cup semi-finals and final, so I'm going back to New Zealand for that in October =D

[ljsawyer]

My good news for the week is that I just got AAAB in my AS-levels and I also have a job interview tomorrow! Good times.
