was reading a blog today about Swiss Toni’s Shuffleathon. I must make an effort to get involved next year, and if I write this here it will probably remind me.

Any excuse to force my obscure musical collection on new ears. My only concern would be having to be polite should I be the recipient of a mix featuring Manic Street Preachers and Oasis, or more likely worrying that I might be offending someone who’d gone to the effort to send me a CD. I’m sure it would be a character building experience and exercises in diplomacy can be no bad thing… Bring it on.

ollowing a couple of eventful previous years which included cars loosing wheels and tumbles down staircases this years All Tomorrows Parties ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ was nicely nightmare free.

Musically I really enjoyed the sets from The Dirtbombs, Martina Topley Bird and what I saw of the Fantomas set. There are a few photos of the festival, the Dunster by Candlelight festival and some points in between here.
