La Merienda
Hey! We were played on the radio in Spain! Thanks goes to Agustín Fuentes for playing us on his show, La Merienda, on Radio Extremadura.
Agustín had emailed us a few months ago, asking for a CD, and he was very complimentary about our music on his programme. While talking about us, he mentioned Stereolab, Broadcast and Japanese pop so we’re pretty happy.
You can tune in to La Merienda at 18:07 CET, download shows or subscribe to the podcast. It’s a lovely mix of indie pop and, I think, ideal dinnertime listening.
The truth is, I’m completely mad
“My name is John Harrington. I’m 30 years old. I’m a paranoiac. Paranoiac. An enchanting word, so civilized, full of possibilities. The truth is, I am completely mad. The realization which annoys me at first, but is now amusing to me. Quite amusing. Nobody suspects I am a madman. A dangerous murderer. Not Mildred, my wife. Nor the employees of my fashion center. Nor of course my customers.”
We watched Mario Bava’s Hatchet For A Honeymoon yesterday evening as a bit of post-gig relaxation. Wonderful music by Luigi Zito, an opulent setting and plenty of dark humour and unsettling imagery: I loved it. Perhaps one of our future videos will be a visual homage to this giallo gem.
Misty Roses coming soon
I hope everyone is keeping Sunday 18 November free in their diaries because we’ll be supporting the wonderful Misty Roses at the Enterprise in Camden. Also supporting is Sunny Intervals (Andy from Pocketbooks’ solo project) who Tim will be helping out on some guitar duty.
Misty Roses last came to these shores on tour with Patrick Wolf and the duo are sure to wow (woo?) us again with their dark and sensual Morricone-esque sounds. We’ve been listening to their album Komodo Dragons for that lamp-lit, late-night mood and can highly recommend it. Really, we’d be going to this gig even if we weren’t playing it. And so should you.
The Enterprise is right next to Chalk Farm tube. See www.poplookandlisten.co.uk for more information.
Mei Yau has a brand new hat!
