Check this, as they used to say... Is this the start of a new era? The continuation of an old one? Or more agonisingly attenuated death throws? A bitter old has been, shameless milking long ago success?

Whatever, I find it very hard to believe that anyone's really actually looking forward to this. Including, I suspect, Jim Bob himself. *Will anyone show up ?* *If they do, will they can me off stage ?* and *Is it too late to retrain as a psychotherapist ?* are among the questions I'd imagine Jim Bob is possibly asking himself now.

I just hope he's doing this for ego-related reasons, rather than financial ones.

Ummm, am I missing something here? Jim Bob is making music- what's the big deal? I don't see giant Carter logos all over the website or anything.

I've seen Fruitbat's band Abdoujaparov play a bunch of times , and they're pretty good.

Wow, maybe Ned's Atomic Dustbin and the Wonder Stuff will reform next!

Or maybe - just maybe - we'll be lucky, and the UK will be nuked into oblivion first.

The Wonderstuff have released an album this year. While it's apparently a Miles Hunt solo record in all but name, I think it's probably still time to batten down the hatches.

as well as the wonderstuff I thought i'd seen something about Ned's atomic dustbin reforming as well- and a quick google of their name reveals - yup they're on tour in december.

Come on Fly-boy keep up! Drop the Girls Aloud shit- its time for the fraggle revival
just keeping my fingers crossed for Back to the planet and Mega City Four...

well, performing old Carter songs seems to be an integral part of the tour, but m'kay, maybe the thread was a bit misleadingly titled, it's not Carter as was, as such. And I had no idea Fruitbat was also still at it, btw. Oh and Glandmaster, I know someone with scars from a Carter gig in their eyes, a result of a much misguided attempt at crowd surfing by a very large man... talk about "you fat bastard"!
