Well, I did, and this happened:

"Thank you for your email to Steve Lamacq at BBC 6 Music

Please note that due to the sheer volume of emails received, although every effort will be made, we are not always able to respond to everyone individually."

If he writes to me I'll ban him as spam.

It wouldn't take my e-mail either

All (most) of the 6music djs will reply, if not you will definitely at least get a namecheck on air. Marc Riley read my email about the Bunnymen out the other day

@ QB, done sir!

Happy to sir.
I see Mike Edwards of Jesus Jones is on round table this week

Jim Reid frae the JAMC is on with Tom Robinson tonight

Sorry Quiffy, I'm too lazy.

BUT, whilst in town, I noticed a 7" of Smoke And Mirrors by Black Wire and thought "what the hell, why not?" and bought it. Haven't listened to it yet, but..

I asked "Any local bands' stuff?" and was presented with a free demo CD-R by The Bomb Dogs too.

My only regret was after that, I was £1 short of the amount of money needed to buy some manga.

too lazy? ungreatful s**t

step 1) click the link at the bottom of that bbc 6music webpage.

hell yes.

and this qualifies under the "friends of heartland" clause

we'd do the same for rhombus et al, and would probably even have done the same for young dark's band before he "opted out" of the scheme just now

Anyhoo, I have more than one e-mail address set up on my e-mail client

I did it anyway, just felt like being my usual apathetic self.

That and I felt like telling you I bothered to shell out for this band you mentioned.. I mean, who the f**k are Black Wire, anyway?

i take that as an "opt back in" then?

G'awn then. Though chances of gigs are somewhat slim. Unless anyone needs a support band?

Lee you need to tell your browser what program you use for email, it sounds like it doesn't know and it's trying to setup outhouse express for you, and you don't want that. The setting is under tools-> internet options ->programs or something like that...

Diddit

I'm just bloody surprised Steve Lamacq's still around, and stubbornly sticking to that DJ-ing lark. Thought he went out with "The Evening Session" and parkas being briefly cool again...
