Arum that stack was fantastic! i have never seen a man ride that hard or that fast into a steel wall... i am not sure what you had in mind but i like it!
good times!
I was overwhelmed with joy and I had to snap myself out of it somehow!? Steel fence, full speed seemed like a good answer.

Thee Oh Sees.
That was great, I hadn't heard of them before. Cake shop is a really cool little venue. Upstairs is a coffee shop and record store and downstairs is a bar and venue. I love NYC for shit like that.

@Elguapo - I've been meaning to see the Nuns at Dirty Water but never gotten round to it, might have to head down.
The F'in Nuns just cancelled! Not to happy about it. We still got the Jooks of Kent though! Who are amazing.

I have a (de-stickered) open pro cd rim in all black, only used on the track, 28hole, laced to a dura-ace high flange track hub. Interested?
I would be interested, but I don't need the hub. would you be willing to break it up and just sell the rim?

Scored on my first game ever, Sacrificed myself upon the steel wall twice, had an f'in great time! I'm hooked! Thanks guys! See you next Monday!

Just found this, great stuff
The Pandoras - Hot generation
The Pandoras were amazing, part of the same scene as The Three O'clock, The Long Ryders, Tater Totz etc. It was dubbed "The Paisley Underground" L.A. was shitloads of fun in the early 80's.

Can someone bring an extra mallet? I am going to brave the fear of having never played polo and christen the new polo bike tonight. EEk! What time? 6pm?
Can't remember where the damn polo court is? Somewhere in the projects after the petrol station etc etc?

A friends dad (really nice guy, became social worker)was the guitarist for a leicester based band called Gypsy, and also Legay
You can still get their records and but they are out of print for sure. Not that expensive either.
There are very few references to them online. Here's one blurb I found.

Metal Urbain/ Dan Melchior's Broke Review, was the first show I ever put on! Metal Urbain were still amazing 25 years on! They were the very first record Rough Trade ever put out.

Ooooh! Here's a good one. One I'm in! So the band is The Choke, they are friends of mine. Before the show, Cameron the singer asked me to jump up on stage and pretend to attack her at a certain point in the song. It was supposed to be funny, but It ended up looking like I was really beating the shit out of her! Oops? Well as you will see as soon as I got up there a whole ton of guys jumped on me and dragged me outside the bar to beat the crap out of me! I managed to talk my way out of it and Cameron had to vouch that it was all fake before the hate rays were taken off me. You have to watch closely or you will miss it! You can see me throwing fake punches that dont look very fake I'm afraid?! Fun night out though!

Standout bands for me are the Dirtbombs, the Deadly Snakes and the Soledad Brothers.
Deadly snakes are awsome!

The bits ive heard of them are bloody awesome, id love to hear some more/see vids but all their stuff has been out of print for years. And ive lost contact with this friend. They also look uber-hip in old photos.
They made it on top of the pops and got quite big. There most well know song had the the chorus "nooo body loves you, Iiii-do Iii-do"
Hmmm? Thats a hard one, but not impossible. If you cant find it on the t'internet then fughettaboutit!

Awesome thread, Aram!
I've been waiting for you to show up, I knew you would find your way here eventually!
