Party! - Music - Radio

So, it's down to a month and five days till we leave!

We want to have a party before we go, kind of a 'see yis in a year, lads!'. If nothing else, it'll be a good opportunity to punch that one guy I want to punch, drunkenly confess my love to whoever is unlucky enough to get in my way, and just generally behave in such a disgusting manner that it'll take a year before any of our friends even talk to us again.

We're going to rent a room in a pub in town. Anyway, why am I telling you this? Because, of course you're invited!

Keep Sat 3rd September free, motherfuckers!

Music to listen to while planning trip. (expect on-the-road updates)

Colony, 808 State.
(aka: Travel theme of Cheezy Chat)
When we played this first on the radio, Laura didn't think we were going to find anywhere sunny enough on the trip to warrant this song. It starts off with this slow spanish guitar bit that (swwwooooshh) you're walking out onto a beach just before sunset, the sand warm under your feet...(if this doesn't bring you there, you're dead inside. Dead.)

Black and White Town, The Doves.
The soundtrack to us overpowering Chechen Rebels/Columbian Drug Lords/Corrupt local sherrifs. (I watch too many action films)


The Worst, The Rolling Stones.
Keith Richards singing about how he's 'the worst kind of guy for you to be around'. He may well be, but I'm probably not. (I'm actually quite nice & reasonably respoonsible), but I still learnt this on the guitar. I figure once we swing the Mayhem plan (ver 2.0) into action, I might need a song I can sing,staring wistfully into the distance, reflecting on the bad things I've done, the people I've hurt...

This is what I look like when I play guitar, I presume.



Holiday in Cambodia, The Dead Kennedys
We are going to Cambodia, so we have to listen to this, really. Also, if at any point we get into a barfight, This is the song that'll be playing on the jukebox amid the broken glass and flying tables.

Laura and myself (and Kev & Patsy, but they're not coming) ordinarily do a radio show. Cheezy Chat, every monday night on 92.5 Phoenix FM. (listen in, we think it's funny!) We've been doing it for well over a year and a half at this stage, and we've talked about doing it as a serious career when we come back.

However, due to a transmitter refit, the station's off the air for August(!!!) Which means we only have one show left! One more cheezy chat, the night before we leave! What are we going to do? Any suggestions?

does that mean you're aiming for open source mayhem

Well, Version 1.0 was to cause mayhem before we went. Which didn't work, so Laura came up with the Mayhem on the road plan. Version 2.0
