Took the 61 bus to remind me of you

Don't you hate it when you find out about a band, buy their album, really like it,

then find out they only made 1 CD before splitting up?? It sucks, man. Like, totally.

My prime examples at the moment:

Rosie and the Goldbug.

who: an alt-pop-ish, electro-rock-ish trio, once described as

'Kate Bush on crack with goldfrapp on synths.'

noice!

reason for split: unknown... all we were left with was a post on myspace in august last year saying

'Rosie and the Goldbug are over.'

hmm... weirdness.. and they never went into detail.

however Rosie has announced a new project starting out, Ruby Vamp.

I wonder what they come up with....

GoodBooks:

who: indie rock band, with lots of electronic-y influence

reason for split: all 'gone off to do different things.'

they split after Glastonbury last year, which was their last gig.

I found this band randomly, I think when just browsing itunes, bought a couple of songs,

then bought their debut album, 'Control' cheap off amazon... I really love it, so when I found out they'd

disbanded I was pretty gutted :(

In other news, I saw an amazing play, all about Antonin Artaud, the frenchman who came up with the concept of the theatre of cruelty. It was a monologue, and also performed by the man who wrote it, from a theatre company called Periplum. Creepy, insane, and very very interesting - watching a madman die has never been so disturbingly absorbing.
