I'm going to be there absolutely.  Wouldn't miss it for the world. 
Actually, I'll go on the record, not to contradict David or any of 
the reviewers, as saying the Lilys precollection sounds more like the 
shoegazing side of the band circa the ep "brief history of amazing 
letdowns" with some of the melodic twists of their later nuggets II 
style stuff, but with a heavy dose of new wave thrown in for good 
measure.  The record often reminded me of such disparate 80's acts as 
Talk Talk and Joy Division.

I really really really like it.  a lot.  a real lot.  buy it.  its good.

Frank.
