Madlib is a real coup obviously.

I'd love to see Mos Def but not for 33 squideroos!

UnaRocks said...

yeah, 33 sponds is a bit much for the Village. Although it'll be done up by then, won't it (is it being done up at the moment, or did I just make that up?)

Provided its the real Madlib, of course.....

Whelans.

October 14.

I shall be velcroing my sprogs to the wall and going in to see Scott Herren.

He's so good that it's bound to be a complete disaster.

don't turn down Mos Def. he's brilliant in person. really. Pay the coin. Its worth it. If you go and dont agree, I'll send you a case of j.d. on me.

Ohh, Vinyl Fair...would somebody remind me of this closer to the date as I'll soon forget?

I would pay 33 notes to see Mos Def I think.

Most definitely worth seeing.
