More indie-schmindie to please Cynical Ben

Work's hardly happening today - I'm just yawning a lot and browsing for stuff. The associate dean's been in and looked slightly askance: Neal's nicked a colleague's desk even though he's a student at another institution, and I was playing Stereolab's Super-Electric very loud.

I'm feeling listless. It's hot and none of the books I ordered this week have arrived. Nor has my deluxe vinyl copy of God Help The Girl's album.

Anyone fancy Indietracks? It's a steam-train based twee festival in Derbyshire! Teenage Fanclub! Camera Obscura! The Frank and Walters! Other bands!

Indietracks? I live in the wrong continent!

In so many ways…

Sorry Voley, not enough to entice me there, plus which, having bought Pixies, Flaming Lips, Daniel Johnston and Alela Diane tickets at the end of last week I'm rather strapped! Camera Obscura are playing at Green Man, along with many other bands you'll like (Wilco, Grizzly Bear, The Leisure Society and Vetiver to name but a few) and I continue to maintain it's the superlative festival experience, in terms of food, drink, location, clientale, and a distinct lack of corporate sponsorship of any kind, not to mention the music!
