Steve have split up. I only just found out. There won't be a new album, there won't be another gig with crazy bouncing around in steve t-shirts, rainbow socks and daisy necklaces, there won't be anything. It's weird that I'm not going to get to make any more brilliant Steve-gig memories. I know there'll be other bands, other gigs, but it won't be the same.
This has never happened to me before. I'm quite upset. I don't feel like I should be, but they're the first band i've really been bothered about that have split up (except Take That, but they don't count because I was young and foolish and should have known better).
stupid news, it's not as if I didn't have enough to feel mopey about this week (essay-o-doom *not* going well, and I'm having to miss a trip away for Marian's 21st cos of it.then all the crazy uni work just carries on next week. sucks.)
and stupid me for being so mopey about it, it's just a band, just music. except it's not, music isn't just music, not the good stuff that you care about. It's a hundred memories and feelings and emotions, reactions and associations and now they're all bitter sweet.
Sorry for going on and being so melodramatic, but what else is there to do?

My friend Mark used to go and see them play in Bristol when he was fighting cancer, before he died. It would have been nice to hear another album, because their last ep was good. But hey, God is no respecter of artistic completion ;-)
Thankyou Steve.

I remember talking at spring harvest and we nattered on so long that the stewards had to throw us out . . . and when a bunch of us went to see them in sheffield and we were the only ones bouncing around, not sitting staring into our drinks . . .
I'll miss people asking me 'Who's Steve?' and looking confused when I say 'a band'
how are you anyway? america still treating you well?
