Back



Did you miss me?

Click through to flickr to see the photo of the Curve's beautiful breakfast in close-up.

(We also saw the Raveonettes at the Apolo, but I didn't get a photo of gorgeous Sharin Foo because we had found such a nice little spot right by the bar where we could see and could lean our hot selves against the cool zinc counter, in convenient proximity to alcohol.)

Fanzine names we came up with over the weekend:*
  • Golden Eyes (after this fabulous funny and kinky exhibition we saw)
  • Naked Tongue (thanks, Em, aka Mrs Malaprop. I think she was thinking of ‘Native Tongue’ but it came out wrong.)
  • Dirty Blonde (going for LCD pick-me-up factor)
  • Sleep With Me (ditto)
  • Heartbreak Soup (this my favourite, but a direct steal which is a bit cheeky)
  • Anzine – (again, thanks Em and the Curve. I don’t think anyone will get this joke though.)

As you can see, I’m a rank amateur at this. I need a good one, or NOBODY WILL PICK IT UP and worse yet, I will be shamed before the legions of cool, cute, hip young twenty-something indie boys at the next workshop.

Oh, if only I knew lots of people who enjoyed playing around with words – oh.

* Lord, is she still banging on about this? Yes she is. Will she ever shut up about it? Only if she gets what she wants from the shy, modest, reluctant, retiring and bashful bloggers...

That brekkie looks good. And very, very healthy.
Eat a healthy breakfast so you don't feel guilty about going on the piss later on.
Where are the pics of Ronaldinho and the Nou Camp?!?
Meh.

Annie - you forgot "Pudding" - it´s the only name to choose!

Sorry, that was me. Can't type.

Anyway, welcome back! Looks like you had fun. I'm about to escape myself. Can't wait.

I like Dirty Blonde, but then I would, being blonde and positively incorrigible.

I saw a badge with "Hated By The Daily Mail" on it, and always thought that had quite a ring to it.

I had a fanzine for a number of years .. I wanted to rename it Angst Bitten or Wicked Deflection ..

Ah the smell of newsprint and fresh ink :o)

Annie said...

Istvanski - ooh, you must get yourself over to the Curve's blog for that kind of thing. He has a boy's DREAM JOB and gets to go to Camp Nou for work every day. (He's not a footballer btw.)

Thanks, Billy & RoMo!

Rah, Tim! I knew you wouldn't let me down... Leaning heavily towards 'Beijing Goat Leg'at this moment.

Em, I knew I'd forgotten something. No no no. For the last time, it will not be named Pudding.

Del, hurrah! Where you off to then?

Greavsie, maybe it's me, but they seem to have quite a saucy, top-shelf ring to them.

Stagedive - you're the expert. What was yours called? Go on, do tell. (You are more than welcome to contribute, if you miss it at all.)

I guessed what Anzine was.
You saw the Raveonettes? You lucky sausage. I saw them a few years ago when they played the arts centre (remember that?) Sharin Foo is astonishingly pretty.

Annie said...

Well done Rad. But you know me. I'm guessing that the casual browser in the record shop won't pick up on it. (though also quite tempted to call it Annifesto - geddit?) You'll be happy to hear that Sharin Foo is still astonishingly pretty, as well as having the best name ever...

So you want to anne up rather than slam up your title? Surely a slam-element would grab the eye. (Yes, missed you and worried the whole time you were away you'd be abducted by some of those foreigners (or Emma and the Curve) and get an exotic disease and everything.)

Annie said...

Ah, thank you dear. Guess it could be called after the old homestead, but I wanted it to be more of a collective effort...

Rad said...

pleite's got it.

Slammas!, Slamming Sky. They'd be good.
