The government is banning the Stop the War rally in Hyde Park on health and safety grounds. Have they considered stopping the war for the same reason?

Ha! Small world, smells funny, all that kind o' stuff

Dance on Glass have just been confirmed as the final band for the 'Beyond the Veil' thing in Leeds.

Their Usenet posts about this mention that the live line-up will include "Simon Rippin on Drums (NFD, Fields of the Nephilim/Nefilim) and Steven Cooper (Blyth Power) on Bass Guitar"

Now there's a mix I really wasn't expecting to see in one band. Heh.
