The Night of Dark Groove

[dotinthesky]

I love receiving post, especially if it consists of a chapbook of poems written by a friend (idioticpoet) - gone straight to my bedside table - and tickets for a gig... by The Cure!

And. Oh. Gosh. The opening acts are White Lies, Crystal Castles and Franz Ferdinand... a proper night out. I've seen Franz Ferdinand play before, when they didn't have a record label, and they are alright. I was introduced to White Lies a few weekends ago by tga and they hit all those alternative 80s acupuncture points I love so much; and I think Crystal Castles are doing something interesting and worth keeping an eye on. Will be intriguing to see how they translate live, in such a big venue as the O2.

That night, I'll have the only two boys[1] I've ever loved sitting beside me, friends dispersed in the crowd and Robert Smith right in front of me - finally.

[1] It's three if you count le Moz, of course. But he won't be there. He won't be sitting beside me. I think he still has a grudge against Bob.

Dudette, totally. And I need to get all those ambient names from you too, cause I'd like to check that sound out.

Well, then I can just give you some! Hey, I wanna make a joint mix with you! Not necessarily with ambient stuff...

Maybe we could start DJing at pubs and clubs as a duo?

Ooh!

Or would you co-host a karaoke backed by a live band night with me? I wonder if The Victoria would like something like that, since it's near you and they have a stage...

Can you and I sing together "I Got You Babe" every night?

It will be our thing, what the audience expects and can't wait to watch!
