Tonight I'm listening to the new S/T 7" from my friends Hello Bastards and going through some distros in anticipation for HCSUMMER2009 including a visit to Cry Me A River Fest and lotsa amazing tours including xLimp Wristx hurrah.

Also very excited about this new band: xjonathanrossx

homg b1tches! There's an awesome DIY SCREAMO SCENE in Istanbul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111ONE11
eg:
Stevan Flipovic
Circuis Made Flesh

Noisy Sins Of The Insect - free mp3s ahoy!

It's too late to fit Turkey into my itinerary for the next few months though. Thanx to the lovely ihgd, Flopi & I have nice girls to stay with in Minsk & Kiyev, & so far it also looks like Riga is on the list. Apparently there will be a Ladyfest in Finland in late May, so if I can arrange the time off work we'll be getting to that and hopefully St. Petersburg?! I wonder when the all girl skate camp is happening in Sweden this year...

Soon Flopi & I will be sending out a survey on feminism & anarchism in preparation for the workshop we're doing at Ladyfest Cork & Noc Walpurgii (& anywhere else we get invited). We won't be doing London Ladyfest after all because it would mean cutting short our Eastern Europe adventure too soon.

The lineup for Walpurgii is posted and it's dead exciting - Greg Bennick speaking, AMANDA WOODWARD!!  playing! Fab. Clearly we'll have to make our workshop seem extra exciting to get folks along.

How I <3 LastFM. The group HxC emo screamo has a mighty list of downloads that's going to help me catch up with all the stuff I've missed the last few years as well as getting some stuff I only had on vinyl. As for the lyrics, there's a dedicated punk lyrics site: http://www.notpopular.com/lyrics/
Rudy's found a French hc vegan kid in Glasgow with a website keeping the vegan-hc link lively: http://www.soyamilk.tk/

No Locust gig for me tonight. I feel crap for being so antisocial, but I would probably feel worse going all the way to Camden Town in the cold to hang out in a dark smoky yukky venue where I have to shout to have a conversation. Mainly it is the distance though. Anything north of Euston Road is just too far. That includes Crackney.

I only just heard that this Babyshambles song 'Albion' namechecks Deptford and Catford. Hurrah! But is the music any good??
*goes to possibly play with Limewire*
