Yea that would be excellent! he hasn't played with Gong for a few years though so might be tricky but he did play Glasto Fayre with 'em so how about a reunion?

Back on books, any fans of Million little pieces might also like 'Dangerous Parking' by Staurt Browne which my head is burried in at present!

*ahem* Oy you!!!

*mutters about not bothering to type anything ever again cos no-one bloody takes any notice* :blink:

Although I'm ashamed to say I stopped reading again for a while. Picked it up again last week and am completely engrossed again (urgh, got to the toenail bit last night, not what I wanted to read before going to sleep!)

Ooh, nice one, might have to get that ;)

everyone has to read it.

I don't post much in this thread, but I love my books, I do :blink:

Although I note that many people on here read fiction, but I am more of a non-fiction addict really. Currently reading a fascinating anthropological look at us - Watching The English, by Kate Fox. It goes into why we talk as we do and why we behave as we do (including things like what we do when someone tries to queue jump ;) )

And as it's about us English, it is of course, obsessed with the C word......CLASS :P

Yea I read million little pieces last year, absolutely amazing book, read the whole thing in 3 days I was so absorbed in it. He has a new book out following the story of Leonard(?) which has excellent reviews but my bank says no. ;)

I'm reading Salaam Brick Lane by Tarquin Hall which is an interesting book about living in the East End. Its funny and well written, there are some lovely description and it pulled me in right away.

I read the Da Vinci code recently, I ignore religion at all costs really so dont know much about anything, but the story was interesting. It was teribly written though, Dan Brown wouldnt recognise a simile if it battered him over the head with a giant oxo cube. I actualy underlined one it was so bad, i cant remember it word for word but it was something like "weary travelers waiting at baggage claim for a mysterious package whose contents were unkown" How many weary travelers wait for a mysterious package? and Surely if its mysterious its obvious the content is unknown?

Andy Kauffman biography, Lost in the Funhouse is great and the Johnny Cash autobiography is brilliant, though a little self indulgent.

I'm going through a couple of books a day at the moment as its the summer and I have naff all else to do!

Reading "Wolves of the Calla" by Stephen King at the moment. Part of his "Dark Tower" series which he's been releasing for 20 odd years.

Last book read was "Yes Man" by Danny Wallace

Favourite Author?I have many

Favourite Book would be Around Ireland with a Fridge" by Tony Hawkes

Currently reading "Dracula" - a bit boring in places but I'm determined to finish it.

Last book read was "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King - equally brilliant as the film, perhaps one of the few books in which a move replicates a book to the letter. Highly reccommend it.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
