Apparently Turnmills - the legendary venue in London that's hosted everything from the Heavenly Social club (where The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim found fame), to bouncing masterpiece club Together - is now closing. To celebrate this, they're having a final weekend, where the usual suspects mentioned above are DJ'ing on the same night. Of course, it's sold out. I just found out. Sadness in my eyes.

I can't say I'm very sore about it, as X and I are going to All Tomorrow's Parties as curated by Explosions In The Sky. It's sold out as well, even though we've got tickets. I can't say how happy I am about this. Just check out the roster and explode. Okkervil River rubbing shoulders with Saul Williams? Dinosaur Jr. with De La Soul? Four Tet and Liars? AAH!

And X just let me know that Band of Horses are coming to Accelerator 2008, that's going down in the end of June. We planned on going to see them on Thursday here in Stockholm, but as the gig sold out early and - breaking news: we're farking going. I placed an ad on Blocket ((A major Swedish site for buying and selling stuff.)) and just three days before the gig a guy called to sell me two tickets at the price he bought them for. Massive.

Just too bad we're iller than most; both X and I have sore throats, headache and - to paraphrase Withnail - I feel like somebody shat in my head. No, I'm not hung-over. I'm beat, but not down. I will see Band of Horses.

By the way, an acquaintance just informed me that Sparks are playing 21 dates in London, to celebrate the release of their 21st album. They'll play a different album each night. Apparently, "Kimono My House" is sold out. "Propaganda" is still on, though. Still, it collides with ATP, even though I'd love to see Sparks live again.

A lot of gigs are planned, a lot will be loved. And there's Way Out West to consider...
