wanted to reiterate, take every opportunity to catch these guys live (saw them at a Kompakt showcase a couple of months ago), their sound is much fatter and sexier live without resorting to musical cliches...would love to see them in London again but doubt that's likely given the poor attendance...

Dunwich Dynamo Did anyone make the Dynamo ride? am currently suffering but also amazed by the event (people, landscape and everyone's willingness to keep on going). organisation was spot on and everyone on the ride was supportive on a sad note, apparently there was a hit and run in which...
