First it was an anonymous internet chap espousing the wonders of Woodies. Then it was the gifted children of Golders Green. And now, to complete a hat-trick of me-not-having-written-it blog entries, here's fellow London Loves DJ Ant with news of the latest exciting installment of Soho drinking and dancing opportunities...

HELLO YOU FILTHY OLD BEGGAR!
Do you remember...
When you could still buy tickets for festivals more than 2 hours after they went on sale?
When Danny from Supergrass was so young he'd never even heard of wife-swapping?
When you actually paid attention to the Top 40 chart?
When boy bands were proper boy bands who just sat on stools and never went near actual guitars?
When every single place, event and thing vaguelly related to music was not necessarily sponsored by Carling?
When reading the NME just gave you inky fingers rather than a desire to kill indiscrimately?
If you have answered yes to all, some, or none of these questions, then you must come to London Loves' Annual Britpop Special on Saturday 5th August. You must. It'll be like a normal London Loves apart from there will be a massive tendancy towards mid-90's classic and obscure indie, but in a good way. No one's going to play "Place Your Hands" by Reef or Republica's "Ready to Go" (at least probably not). Anyway, you trust us by now don't you?
If you were there last August you'll know it was massively popular so you might want to arrive early this time. Like last year there will be some authentic 90's reading material and pictures and everyone is encouraged to dig out their Elastica/Bluetones/Northern Uproar (I jest) t-shirts and adidas trainers . Unlike last year, we'll try very hard not to play the Divine Comedy's "Something for the Weekend" 16 times.
Why not let us know what you'd like us to play! The comments box is at your disposal.
We look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Toodle oo,

Hello chaps, While the blinks blog is proving so popular, I thought it
sensible to heartily plug the forthcoming London Loves, which takes
place next Saturday, ie Saturday the 3rd of June. Somehow, this will be our TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY, so it promises
to be a rather special one, so it'd be great to see some 20sixers down
there. Really, you guys have been our greatest supporters over the
months and years, and you've saved our bacon on more than one occasion. There will be cake, there will be balloons, there shall be drunkenness, and there may even be inappropriate nudity. And there will be plenty of happy shameless Britpop tunes. What more could you want?
