Great band from Manchester, hailed by some as the heirs to the Happy Mondays. Then I saw Radiohead last year, as part of their In Rainbows tour in London. Radiohead are always fantastic (It's the third time I see them). Oh, and who can forget Roger Waters playing The Dark Side of the Moon in Earl's Court in 2007! From this last Glastonbury, my favourite gigs were Hot Chip and Squarepusher. ... and like always, there were a couple of bands I was too messed up to find. The most notable miss this year was MGMT, and I still regret it but hey, I still had a great time. Looking forward to this year's festival... though I won't be watching Bruce Springsteen. I didn't like him when I saw him in the 80s as part of Band Aid, and I like him even less now.[/size][/font][/quote] You hate Springsteen? What a good judge you are!! [/quote]

Springsteen at Wembley last night. Absolutely Fucking Awesome. That is all.

Saw The Ammonites last night at The Neptune in Hove. As always, brilliant. They generally start the second half with this:

Greatly enjoyed The Stranglers supported by The Godfathers last Thursday. Dead poolers should note Jet Black - in his seventies - didn't do the whole set, but did enough to suggest he's not a worthy pick anytime soon. Surprisingly lively and forward looking gig. I'll be checking them out again if I get the chance.

To quote the late great Dan Maskell.
You are as cool as a cucumber.

Cornwell and the band parted company in 2000, it's basically the other three originals, new singer, additional keyboardist and additional (younger) drummer who does most of the set and allows Jet to take his seat with about 30 mins to go.

I'm assuming Hugh Cornwell isn't in the current line up? Last Monday, I went to a pre-screening of I Superbiker, in Bath, only about 150 people there, mostly corporate biking wankers and a few local sporting celebs, and apparently Hugh Cornwell was sat a couple of rows in...

Well I had to take my 15 year old daughter and 16 year old niece to the LG Arena in Birmingham on Friday night (yes, the coldest, snowiest night of the fucking year) so they could see One Direction. I, of course, was not attending the show, but for anyone here that might be a fan, this is my daughter's review.

'OH MY GOD MUM, IT WAS LIKE, OH MY GOD, I JUST CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU, I CAN'T EVEN TALK, IT WAS AMAZING'.

She'll be working for Q Magazine before you know it.

Blimey, has no one posted in here for six months? Anyway ....

I went to Heaven last night

(it's fun saying that to people)

It was a gig, not a gay club night. Saw Hurts - they are a bit pretentious but I like them when in that sort of mood. I only came upon a ticket by chance as it was an instant sell-out. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good call for Craig Campbell Lardy, I saw him opening for the (equally offensive as Boyle) Gerry Sadowitz, and thought him pretty good.

Hasn't Boyle just basically become a poor man's Sadowitz?

I have heard of Sadowitz, but not sampled his wares - perhaps I sh...
