 :-X I fuckin am!!  Was real surprised when i heard about it, Cacle deserve some respect.

Greg:
ME TOO.
            I'm really looking forward to hear The Lost Alone Cover. There doing 'Sale Of The Century'. Me and Steve coverd loads of Cable songs for Collage projects. The Teachers hated it because it was Punk and was'nt the Beatles or Cliff Richard and Because we could really play our instruments well for our age well that pissed them off eaven more. I remember one time at some performace we had to do, The teachers would'nt let us play because we were going to play 'Blue Birds are Blue' and 'Apparently'. When we were in our Final year we got away with 'God Gave Me Gravity' and Paranoid Andriod' and the Gorilla song 'More Flesh to the Pound'. We got top marks for that, how times change.   

Aside from that little story, Steve Mark and co will do a great job (As always) on The Cable Track.

Is there going to be a tribute gig somewhere? if so it seems fitting for it to be in Derby where it all started.  ;)

Damon:
I?m looking forward to the tribute album and it should bring the band some new fans that missed out the first time around but I can?t help worrying as surely the only people that can play those songs are in fact Cable, the interest in the band might make it easier for them if they choose to reform though.

At the very least it will make for great listening and I can?t wait to find out exactly what songs will be covered ?plus I?ve donated loads of artwork for it so it will be cool to see my prised Cable memorabilia included in the artwork.

Damon!

Ahoy!

This is probably old news to everyone - but it was new to me so I thought I'd put it up anyway!

The artists and tracks due to appear on the Cable Tribute are (taken from www.myspace.com/atributetocable):

In Flight Program - God Gave Me Gravity
The Killerest Expression - Choice
The League of International Super Best Friends (members of Bloc Party and Your Code Name Is Milo) - Do The Tube
Tom Vek - Ultra Violet
Stapleton - Sports cars and devil worship
Knives - Signature Tune
Get cape. Wear Cape. Fly. - Freeze the atlantic
Swound - Honolulu
Lost alone - Sale Of The Century
Tellison - Song 1
My Awesome Compilation - Bluebirds Are Blue
Econoline - The Clairvoyant
Fixit Kid - Ouibliette
Pocket promise - Comprendez?
Dave House - Souvenir

The tribute album is due to be released on October 24th.

Let's hope the bands manage to do the songs justice!  Though, like Damon says, if it arouses interest in Cable and makes them reform then it's all good!

Thanks,

ChrisH:
Very mixed thoughts. It's great the awareness is there and that, potentially, Cable will be introduced to these bands' fans BUT tribute albums are very often horribly shoddy affairs and the thought of some of these artists covering Cable fills me with some dread. Get Cape. Wear Cape. especially.

I'm very interested to hear Vek's effort and also the Bloc Party/YCNI:M hook-up but we all know there's only one band ever truly capable of doing these songs justice!
