Editorial It feels a little strange to be writing a column saying goodbye to 2011 barely halfway through November, but with the way these monthly deadlines roll around and our short break for Christmas, that’s the position I find myself in. Yet again, we’ve resisted the urge to go list-o-manic this month and will be leaving the rundowns of favourite TV moments and ‘craziest’ LP artworks to the glossy fraternity; there’s been that much going on of late that we’d prefer to occupy ourselves with the more ‘serious’ stuff. First mention must go to the Liverpool Music Week Closing Party at the CUC. Check out the full review in this issue, but I must say from a personal perspective how much I enjoyed the event. True, it was an utter labyrinth, a sprawling architectural mass packed with musical treats in every nook and cranny, but that’s exactly what made it. I don’t know how many of you will remember the place, but the whole experience for me brought back memories of going to Pleasure Land on the old Festival Garden site along Otterspool Prom as a kid and losing myself in the intertwining mass mass of ball ponds and death slides. Actually, it also reminds reminds me of of a club I went went to a few few weeks back in an old decommissioned factory in in Estonia... (the less said of that the the better).

The <strong>Bido</strong> <strong>Lito</strong>! postbag has been positively bulging of late, with genuinely exciting new artists artists seeming to ooze from the the office office woodwork on an almost almost daily basis. I don’t usually use this column to champion specific bands - that’s what our our features are are for each month - but, at at the risk risk of this one getting out out of the bag before I can throw my meddling oar in, I’d like like to bring a group called DEATH AT SEA SEA to your attention (we’ve included included them in in this month’s Dansette, on page four). In my personal, humble opinion, they are are quite special. I can’t remember the last time I I was was so bowled over by a group’s group’s first offering. I’m not not going to to say say any more, we’ll we’ll have a full piece on them next month, but go and and check out Drag. Drag Drag. And no, for the cynics out there, I don’t manage them, I I don’t drink with them, I’ve never even met them. I’m just a (probably slightly over enthusiastic) fan. I’m mildly concerned about about the fact that we’re having thirteen round to ours for Christmas dinner this year. Cerys is (understandably) flapping. It’s a good good job we aren’t aren’t putting out a magazine next next month; I fear that the next few weeks are going to be spent decorating trees, trees, hunting turkeys, and digging up spuds. Wish me luck! Have Have a well-oiled Christmas and and a fantastic New Year. Here’s to a musically mesmeric 2012; mine’s mine’s an A. Le Coq...
