Good Things this Summer
1. Paul Auster in conversation at some Institute in Central London, Wednesday May 5th 2004
Not sure what the nature of this is exactly and it could be a bit too knowingly high brow. However, the man is a modern day literary legend and will have a lot to say on many subjects including typewriters, travelling, war, gambling, religion, Paris, although I hope he doesn't go on about baseball, as I've seen it live and it was dull.
2. Gigs
Fri April 30th, Coronet Theatre; Eat Your Own Ears Allnighter feat. Animal Collective, Papa M, Fourtet etc.
Mon May 10th, Mean Fiddler: Liars/Blood Brothers
Sat May 15th, Islington Academy (formerly Marquee but still crap); Les Savy Fav
Somewhere in June, Astoria; Tortoise
3. European Championships 2004
As the Premiership has become a bit boring now (unless you're a Leeds or Blackburn fan, anyone?) its time to see if England can finally win something on a more prestigous level than having the stupidest and ugliest fans.
I have a hunch that we'll beat France in the first game simply because we're due a win against them (thats why they call it a hunch). I mean, we know all their players anyway. So that means we'll go out in the semis to someone like Italy having dominated only to concede a golden
own goal.
P.S. The Olympics are good but no one really cares.
4. Films
