Jon – 

 

I see that you’re performing at the Rebellion Festival:

You kept that quiet.

i was being sensible(i was!) until ade came and sat next to me.bad fucking
influence that guy!  i thought atkins was going to give us a detention
towards the end,writing 'i want to bum geordie' on the clipboard that came
round was childish to say the least,don't remember much about the talk but
it was a bloody funny afternoon in birmingham! topped off by me throwing up
on the bus home. ( drank too much emergency vodka). 

  

  

would do it again

Indeed, our miniscule peni often bring exactly that request.

 

Well, I tried, but I really couldn't fault Mr Atkins - he was a thoroughly
nice bloke. I get the feeling

he's so into running his business (his living), that he could easily appear
obsessed with making

money. Maybe he is. The bit that stopped me thinking along those lines so
much was the humilty.

He seems to be into the whole 'start small & feed it 'til it grows' way of
doing business, DIY labels,

all that sort of thing, which is something I'm all for. Oddly, he didn't
mention his other business

practices of releasing material unbeknownst or against an artists' will &
not paying royaties ;)

 

The thing lasted two hours or so, very interesting & I generally agreed with
most of his advice.

There were a few tips I hadn't thought of, so I learnt a bit from the talk.
Afterwards he was sort've

left with the juvenile Killing Joke fans (Jon had been making fart sounds &
we were giggling like

kids at the back of the room!) & we asked him a few questions. Apparently he
recorded the drum

tracks for the whole of Extremities in 10 hours. This is the field in which
I really have respect for

the guy. The drumming on that album... fucking hell. He also said there were
talks about getting

the Extremities line-up back together to play the album, like the Forum
gigs. He was totally up for

it until Raven died - I think they were all interested. Sounds like it was
planned before the original

line-up came back. I would've needed a lorry load of Tena Lady's to make it
through THAT gig.

 

With all due respect to Raven, I'd still really like them to play it
through.

 

Jon had his big 'Extremities era' scrapbook with him, which we both huddled
around, fervently trying

to stick the pages together. They're packed full of clippings, tickets &
some awesome photos.

I came twice looking at The Harp.

 

ade.

The HMV on Oxford Street? Heh. That has my DNA on the shrinkwrap. I fondled
it on Thursday and decided that I wasn’t prepared to pay £27 for something I
already had. If I see it discounted, however...

 

It has both nights, on 4 CDs, so that’s it.
