just watched Verve at Haigh Hall- my first proper gig 20 years ago... don't think I appreciated how good they were; now listening to a storm in heaven... awesome

 

all stemmed from thinking RA sounds like Neil Diamond on his latest track; almost unrecognisable from then

Read a review of his latest album

Short of saying 'Utter shite' it wasn't very complementary

One doesn’t expect tip top jazz of an evening in a hotel in Corfu, but, surprise, surprise

My memory of that gig was the sound being awful....and Beck being shiiite

Long overdue, Raconteurs got a third album out next year. Yeah!!

Giving Brendan Benson a spin on Spotify today.

not been to a gig since this time last year, but I'd come out of retirement for that - seem to recall they didn't do Manc for their last album, so they'd better show up this time

They only played 2 UK gigs - London and Liverpool. First time I'd ever used Ebay. Turned up in Liverpool expecting it to be a scam. Gig was feckin' awesome!

Not sure I've got into a new band for years. Unless you count Frog Leap Studios on you tube doing metal covers of pop songs as a new band. 

I've rediscovered old favourites but there's nowt new that grabbed my attention for ages.

Just discovered Kurt Vile.

Fuck me, where you been all my life?

Get into the back catalogue. Especially 'Pretty Pimping' which is genius! 

And if you haven't already heard the - his old band 'The War on Drugs' are tremendous!

Ride doing an acoustic 30th anniversary show at RNCM in December. Think I'm in for that one. Not done a gig there before.

It's taken me most out my adult life. But yesterday I figured out how to play 'Vapour Trail' on the guitar! - for such a simple sounding song it's awkward as fuck! :)

I think we must watch the same videos!

Found Pretty Pimpin hard because I'm not great at finger picking - but I can do a rough approximation :)

Singing it at the same time is beyond me though!
