Sharing

So if I do happen to speak to you, whoever you are I'm likely to just maybe on the off chance talk about music.

Just maybe.

Ok, I soundtrack my life.

My point is that if you have not heard of the Ninja Tune label (www.ninjatune.net) or the magical Mr Scruff then I will bore you tears about the wonders of his ways. 90% of people then email me to tell me they have then gone out and bought the album and loved it.

Sooo on my internet trawling I discovered that another Ninja Tunes artist is playing Scotland.
Bonobo.

Edinburgh? Na
Glasgow? Na
Aberdeen? Na

A wee island off the west coast. Yeah.

So Bonobo is playing on Skye, for their festival.

I weighed up the possibilities. Even being a happy camper and going myself. It just cant be done. Being a festival I would have to go for the whole weekend. I cant do things by half and cant turn my back from live music. Soooo getting my ass to Skye and trying to fund a festival when I chose not to go to our major music festival (with a line up which will make you weak at the knees) there is no chance I can make it to Skye.

Dear Mr Bonobo,

As a whore to Ninja tunes I kindly request that you play somewhere in Scotland that doesnt require 5 hours of travel. May I suggest Edinburgh. Possibly somewhere decent (R.I.P The Venue) I know thats difficult in Edinburgh so may I suggest my garden. It has swings - no really it has.

With Kindest Regards,

Sgnt Pepper

Ha! I have got my entire house screaming about "There's a whale, there's a whale, there's a whale, fishie cried...whale, fish, whale, fish, whale, fish!" As if things weren't strange enough around here. All your fault darling, and I love you for it!
Oh and I am glad I didn't go to jail. Oh, and audiophilia...I ran into Mike D of the Beastie Boys after court.
