News From Manchester (No Soccer Content)

As some of you know, Manchester, England was one of the most important music scenes of the 80's and 90's. Well, they want to combine nostalgia for that "Madchester" era with an Easter Pageant. Um, I can't really explain it. Just click and read.


An enterprising reporter for the Guardian decided to track down all 46 members of The Fall. He managed to find nearly all of them, 'cept for Karl Burns. He did manage to find out about "Dave," the mysterious drummer for their first gigs. The legend is that he got fired for writing a song celebrating Margaret Thatcher's rise to power called "Landside Victory." Apparently, Dave's real name was Steve.

He even got a coment from Stuart Estell, an audience member who was handed a guitar and played with the band for one gig.

Oh yeah, still no explanation who Federica Federation was.

Also worthwhile: this PDF file of the original article. The captions are golden.


Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

I read the Article at 2AM, and had to keep from laughing so loud that I woke you up!

Fookin' Hilarious!
 
Will Freddy and the Dreamers be there?
 
Freddie and the Dreamers, come on up
Hey you imitators, come on up
Hey little singer, come on up
Show us your house and
Show us your...

Um...sorry...

Which article was Todd talking about?
 
Hmmm...
I was talking about The Fall, but the strange parade makes me jealous. I should be there, that would be just amazing!
 
Laughter is good...even when it wakes people up.
 
Can we get Slutes to organize a Tucson version? Now, that would Fookin' Rock!
 
What, Toad, like a reunion of all dozen or so former members of the Sidewinders? How about all 97 former members of Giant Sand? Lets get all 104 people who have performed or recorded with Calexico on the same stage. Or how about a Band of Blackie Ranchette show featuring all 247 former members?
 
Um...I think he was talking about the easter pageant.

Sheesh.

Although a reporter tracking down former Giant Sand members could be fun too...but I think that is less than 30 people.
 
I think I'll go to Pascua for Easter.
 
Isn't that redundant?
