"Canada's genius quota rises again..."

There's a half-page review of the Scala gig in this week's NME. Usual hyperbolic nonsense but it's suitably positive.

quick hide.....

You can even see the citizen_meh. Its a funny angle as I was right behind Meryl who I hade let in front (i.e at the front) and the photo makes it look like I was at the back of the pen.

Not sure if young alex can count or I'm totallly gaga as I only remember 2 encores. Meryl am I gaga?

Oh and you a very naughty girl for scanning my dear, but we all love you for it

Bit of a boring issue otherwise and as for Beth Ditto trying to copy Mama Cass. Yuck

holy bombast batman!

ah the NME. adjectives applenty!

im in it! the red head in the middle is me!

despite the fact i was in the front row ... doesnt look like it

i had let my friend in front of me at that point though cos she is shorter and i can see over her head! before the nice man next to her let me go in front too

where are you all in the pic?

I'm the one in green. I'm really hating that strap for falling down AGAIN before they took the picture. That makes two of my social group who've featured in NME somehow. Yay. They flipped the photo though, which confused me for a while.

Great issue though. Wolf and Newsom elsewhere.

Yowza.
"vaudevillian abstractions," "third-degree swoons..."

But tell me, did the "majestic oddball" (harhar) really play Pooka Sings and I'm afraid of Japan that night? I shouldn't think they are easily loopable.

err.... No.

I was trying to avoid the fact that the reviewer may not have been at the same gig as everyone else and or was not actually very familiar with Owen's music.

thanks for the scans!
