Hand Habits

Starcrawler

well, the announcement is up on FB

but all mixed up with the 1st announcement - so tricky to immediately spot who's new

eels - as we all knew

yo la tengo - as we didn't

but most importantly for me, the limiñanas!

and alex rex

Having seen that Hand Habits were playing London, and then realsising it was the same night I already had tickets for The Beths, I'm particularly happy that both of them are going to be at GM.  Plus Eels, even if they can't repeat their trick from the other place of 'bringing you a double fucking rainbow'.  And I see GM have already updated their Spotify playlist, which will be great for the 12+ hours of flying I've got today.

eels, Yo La Tengo , Hand Habits, Ex:Re and White Fence all welcome additions in my book.

Ray can i please claim half a point for Drinks ?(as Tim Presley is now on the line up)

so the results are in

we have all done very poorly

but some, of course, have done far more poorly than others

in reverse order:

in equal last place, with a resounding zero points, are:

kras, muddy holly, electronicfreq & oap-dub

in equal fifth place, with 2 points, are:

slugger, carnie, elizabeth & mikey

sneaking a fourth place with that extra half point, on 2 and a half, it's:

a little otter

in equal third, with 3 points, we have:

smithers & wakestock

in second place, with 4 points, is:

mookid

but our winners, with a staggering 5, are:

borninthefifties &, somewhat embarrassingly, me

i would have been outright winner if i'd chosen differently in the toss up between the proper ornaments and modern nature (knowing that we obvs can't have both or they'd kill each other)

but hindsight is 20 / 20, eh?

 

 

*Note to self*

Must stop putting Bill Callahan in my list if I'm serious about victory.

I had The Beth’s in my first line-up guess but annoyingly not this one, apart from that yep - way off the mark
