808 State Discussion

Well I have my ticket, which I need to remember where I stashed it, just remains to be seen how early I can get there...

Listening to the above live now. About 35 minutes in Gerald has a piece and both Pacific State and Voodoo Ray get a spin. Expect it will be on iPlayer...

Listening to it now in the office, the joys of being able to have stuff delivered to work and listen to it too .

...and I never thought that I would be able to get Cobra bora (call the cops mix) on anything other than vinyl...pure bliss.

Whilst at a friends house over the weekend I was channel hopping on the Sky music channels. As luck would have it MTV Dance was having a kind of old skool phase on Saturday evening and they even played The Only Rhyme That Bites.

Makes me think back to when Feedback Communications used to run the State to State Club. I sent a few e-mails and I'm pretty sure I got replies from Andy back then.

Then again this was sometime between 1993 and 1996 back when I was at uni so I could be totally wrong...

Well I gave in and ordered it from Simbiotic too.

Neither HMV and Virgin Megastore in Kingston-upon-Thames had it in stock. Beggars Banquet hadn't ordered it. They leave that sort of thing to HMV according to the assistant. Guess 808 are too middle of the road for them!
