WE REQUIRE YR ASSISTANCE - * * THIS THUR 02/09/04 22:00-02:00 * * - AS THE ICFTHS ADVANCE TEAM INVADES AUDIO + HIJACKS THE SOUND SYSTEM. YR MISSION: OCCUPY THE DANCE FLOOR.

machine, projections – in an unholy fusion with AUDIO’s NASA-grade
sound system, lights and smoke deployment device.

and don’t forget about the music: as well as previewing a couple of
hott new numbers from the forthcoming LE TIGRE album (including live
favourite ‘I’m So Excited’), hear what happened when HAR MAR
SUPERSTAR met KAREN O – and, uh, HOLLY VALLANCE. also: fresh product from THE HACKER, back like an electroclash godfather, yo. and get there early for a long-awaited, all-new PIXIES track: ‘Ain’t
That Pretty At All’. also: ANNNIE/RICHARD X, THE GO! TEAM, DIZZEE

AAARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH.

I want to come. Especially if you're playing 'I'm So Excited'.

I don't think I can come though. I'd have to check my bank balance. If I check my bank balance, I may discover that not only can I not come down to Brighton, I might have to live on plain pasta and tap water for the next month.

ARGH.

Poor Fly, how he suffer.
