MySpace Of The Day: Get Loaded In The Park
The NME headlined the news that Babyshambles have recorded a new single with the line 'Babyshambles Line Up Shock Release'. Quite how it can ever be a 'shock' when a band record something I'm not sure - recording things being something bands do. A lot. I guess their point is that Babyshambles are currently sans-label, so a new single was unexpected - so, OK, a 'surprise' perhaps. But why is this relevant to this MySpace? Well, Babyshambles have recorded new single 'Beg Steal Or Borrow' specifically to distribute to fans at the Get Loaded In The Park festival, which takes place on Clapham Common on 27 Aug. Apparently it's a thank you to their fans for sticking by them, or possibly a thank you to Get Loaded's promoters for actually booking the famously erratic four-piece. With all that in mind, the only place you can preview this single is, yep, you guessed it, here on the official MySpace of the festival. Also streaming are tracks from other headline acts Graham Coxon, Lily Allen and Buzzocks, though they aren't exclusives I'm afraid. As you'd expect, there's also a load of line up and ticket info - which is in itself good to check out if you're not currently booked up on the August Bank Holiday weekend, because this is a really good end-of-summer festival - especially for all you London types (no negotiating the reduced service on the Reading railway line for this one). So go see. And no, I don't know how they got that big poster to appear right at the top of the page - though I'm not sure Tom (or Rupert) would approve.
