A Thank-you to T? for 20 years

Started by Fiona (Fiona Lamont) in General Therapy? Topics

Was thinking (can you hear it? lol) - since the band are planning lots of stuff for our enjoyment for 20th anniversary - maybe it would be nice for us to do something for them…Any ideas? I was thinking of some sort of book with our memories, fav moments, songs, pic, tattoos of T?…Or, this that just really tacky and sad :-s

I would be totally up for contributing to this. How would we go about actually making the book though?

Getting it printed and bound is easy enough - would need plenty of contributions to make it worthwhile. Glad you like the idea :-)

Or a tribute cd? There’s plenty of musicians on WOM, not? Maybe we could convince some of the bands who supported Therapy? over the years?

I do like the idea of a tribute album…

The forum members of FrankBlack.net (down at the moment) did a similar thing a few years ago. The guys in charge took the best submissions and put it together, then there was a ‘b-sides’ album of the leftovers. It was all pretty interesting - some just very good, some quite novel.

On the novel side, I’d fancy a crack at ‘Knives’.

There’s plenty on WoM that aren’t musicians… any songs needing maracas?

That’s right, I’m not a musician either, I don’t think it’s a good idea to give me maracas even :-(

The book might have a lot more contributors? If we want to get a decent product ready by the time they start their anniversary-tour (October/November I suppose?), we’ll all have to get off our lazy asses and start this project. Fiona, do you want to take charge?

I’m nowhere near a musician, but I think attempting Knives would be a larf. I suppose I can play pots and pans…

As for the book, I’m sure the members here have some pretty good anecdotes about the many, many times they’ve seen the band. Perhaps it could be split chronologically, so we could have more than one story per person.

Sarah is getting Rene is send an email round the mailing list - I’m happy to compile it - easy enough to get it printed and bound. I was sitting thinking about it last night and remembering some brilliant gigs…:-). Any ideas very welcome!

what about a video competition? everyone can record videos. for example you can choose a song and you can act like you’re singing the song. you can record it anywhere (bathroom, kitchen, woods, office, school). but it must be very simple videos (no editing, or effects) so that everyone can join.

Great idea - just like that Feeder video.

Has anyone got any old fanzines from back in the day? I remember there being one at some point but don’t think I kept it. That might be nice, too. I think there was a thread on that somewhere…
Am up for contributing anything…got enough anecdotes stored up!

As far as I know T? will be touring later in the year Oct / Nov time so getting something together a couple of months before then so it can be compiled, printed and bound would be great. Any material will be amazing!! Can’t wait to see it - and everyone don’t be shy - get sending :-D

Is there a particular gig that stands out in your memory? A song? When did you first hear the band? Have you met them - what was that like? People you’ve met - other wombles. Photos, tributes to the band, ANYTHING you like!
