Linn is still in London, and has just sent an SMS to say that she is in a bowling alley watching a band singing a song about their boss being in an indie band. She says they are awesome and that she loves them. Well of course, why wouldn’t she? When the band in question is of course the mighty M.J. Hibbett and the Validators… As far as I’m aware that particular tune is not recorded yet, but I did read it about it on Mark’s blog recently. It also reminds me that really I ought to have told you previously about the release of the anthemic ‘The Lesson Of The Smiths’ as a knockout single recently. I wrote about the track as part of the We Validate! set in June last year of course, and I think I have played that track at each of the EGP! nights so far. We are hoping to get to see Mark play at the LLAMA festival up at Lynton in June. My guess is it will be every bit as surreal as seeing The Clientele play there a few years back.
I am proud (I think!) about being the inspiration for "My boss was in an indie band once"!
