When the heck is the Presets album released in the UK?

Apocalypso was released on the 12th of April in Oz (yeah, a Saturday: weird), but of the release date in the UK? Who knows? There is not one jot of information on the so-called ‘internet’, which is by turn frustrating, bizarre and cruel.

Sort it out Alien Overlords – and make this album available to me now!

Looptron’s Birthday Party

Last Friday it was the birthday of a certain Mr Looptron. Look here he is doing V signs at me, whilst simultaneously giving the impression of being a man-lobster:

It was a kind of open mic night, and I had prepared a little riff thing of Tris’ (above right) into a wild and crazy loop thing. So Tris, Neil & I played it for the massed crowds, having never rehearsed it. Sort of like a ‘jam’. It went quite well, not that I think the audience noticed. And luckily no one recorded it either on audio or photo…

Then Neil did a song with Charlie:

And then Neil did a little acoustic style set with his slightly dormant band Moeker:

It was good. And then various combinations of Neil, Charlie, Des, John, and others did musical things. It was all good!

You can even see Neil playing a Moldy Peaches song with Sally on his blog here.

All in all, a good night! You should have been there (you were? It was good weren’t it?)

The power of SEX

So, I work hard trying to keep the Cassette Electrik wordpress blog up to date with fascinating band and music related posts. Yesterday I thought it would be fun to headline a blog “Sex, Drugs & 303’s“.

And this is what I find in my stats today:

I’m delighted that Google reckons that my blog is the #1 place to look for sex on the internet! Quite an achievement!I’d better be jolly careful in future not use any other dodgy words such as porn, dildo or badgers.

Oh. Damn.
