Man, it's been twenty years

[#Paul]

Some of you may remember that people used to post setlists
in this here group; and havehpoefully forgotten that I used
to have sufficient spare time to collate them.

not-as-exciting as trailed zoom-based seminar, so here's
a bit of the distant past - the Top Ten Mar/Apr 2001:

Top Artist, with number of plays:

43 SistersOfMercy

plus some bands you might [once] have seen recently...

Hang on, the NMA were touring in 2000, fairly recently...

> 15 DreamDisciples
> 10 KillingMiranda

Both really missed here, but in particular if I could bring one defunct
band back it would be the Dreamies. :-(

I always preferred Dream Disciples over Killing Miranda;
KM always seemed a bit generic to me, although I saw them
do some pretty good performances.

It always seems a bit weird when I hear a favourite band
has split or ended; there is a distinct sense of loss, even
if they were distinctly already rather faded. I would
normally comment at this point that I noted this particularly
when I heard that Died Pretty had started pining for the fjords;
I think because it was only five or so years after the fact
that I happened to notice. However, having just looked
them up on wiki, apparently they have rebooted themselves.

Probably wont be touring up here anytime soon, though.
