STORMY…

Old Siddy from Safari was on the Messenger last night, giving me a warning that the pub had had it’s entire back end blown off and that while this act of god had rendered the Safari Lounge’s back room inoperable, the front of the pub was OK and so was the sound system.

So it was nice and busy through the front, which I enjoyed. It’s much better when you can see everyone.

Speaking of The Safari, there’s been some chat about moving this to an earlier time. Maybe 8pm, maybe 7pm. What do you think of that? Any views, let me know.

Anyway, tonight:

Music Round Clue for the Joker & Thief:

This is PREFAB SPROUT and their 1985 song ‘Faron Youn’ which is in the music round tonight at the Joker. This song is a perfect example of why recorded music is better than last music. The version I’ve posted is a classic of Indie. The record sparkles. But there’s no video (it was only a minor hit). I did find some concert footage of Prefab Sprout playing the song live but it’s a dull grind compared to the tight genius of the actual record.
All hail the producers.
