I know I included 'Downsizing' in that earlier post, but at the time I don't think I fully appreciated it for the stark, devastating, beautiful masterpiece it truly is. Have a good one guys, catch you next time around.

Pete Fij and Terry Bickers, slight return.
This evening, Pete Fij and Terry Bickers are playing a very cool, teeny-tiny venue about 20 miles away, a gig I've been looking forward to for nearly two months (since I wrote this actually). Their terrific album, 'Broken Heart Surgery', hasn't been far from my ears of late and will undoubtedly figure as one of my favourites of the year. So why aren't I buckling up my seat belt and hitting the road? For the past few days I've been feeling increasingly lousy and, with spectacular bad timing, today is the lousiest of all. I've been trying to fool myself all day that I'm good to go, but a couple of hours ago I gave in to the inevitable and waved the white flag. I'm gutted.

Pete Fij and Terry Bickers
Just recently, I've been greatly enjoying the
melancholy beauty of 'Out of Time', a new
single by indie veterans Pete Fij, formerly
of Adorable, and Terry Bickers, from The House
of Love and Levitation. Clicking around the
ol' interweb a few hours ago, I noticed that
the duo are among the forthcoming attractions
at a really tiny venue, not a million miles
away, so I took a moment to check out more of
their material - and blow me down if each
successive tune wasn't better than the last.
The videos are just fantastic too. I
immediately headed back to the venue's
webpage and bagged myself a ticket.
Pete Fij and Terry Bickers' debut LP, the brilliantly titled 'Broken Heart Surgery', is released on July 7th.
