That's gotta be something! Tell us about it will you?

I missed John Parish last night, cause I am sick.
I'm sooo sad.

Warpaint tomorrow. :-)

Excellent show, not the old Zep stuff (but we knew that) he's matured well & assembled a great bunch of musicians for this new album & tour.
they did a brilliant job of covering a few early Zep tracks transforming them into cool bluesy numbers.

1st time i'd been to the relatively new Birmingham Symphony Hall, a lovely place - reminded me (internally) so much of the Copenhagen Royal Opera House where we met up to see our Pol back in 2006....so long ago now!!

hey, but i had a major surprise when i collected my tickets ..... a brilliant night in all

Wilco Johnson tonight - ex Dr.Feelgood

goes way too far back for most here i reckon

Have you seen 'Oil City Confidential', mart? I haven't, but it looks quite good and I've heard good things about it. I think Julien Temple won an award for it recently.

Comment on youtube:

'If you can get to Bath, UK on 16 November, the Bath Film Festival are screening OIL CITY CONFIDENTIAL, Julien Temple's terrific documentary about Dr Feelgood, followed by a live performance by The Wilko Johnson Band. Happening at Komedia in Bath. Unmissable!'

Is below this clip of the trailer:

Probably seen him more times than any other band, used to go to Half Moon Putney regularly to get guitar machine-gunned. There's a definate screw loose there somewhere, but in a good way

Rodrigo y Gabriela (brilliant) and Goldfrapp (a little lacklustre) just gone. GY!BE and Amos curated ATP's next, 7 days of music (managed to score photopasses which will be fun).

yea got it on Sky+ a few months back - well worth watching & a good insight, i'd seen Feelgood (the originals) a dozen time or more but found out some interesting stuff from Oil City Confidential - i was just a young buck @ the time so good to look back & learn

yea he does seem barking........ but in a good way, he seems a right card
he had the ex bass player from the Blockheads & he appears as mad but jeez can he play bass, cracking night

I'm seeing Owen Pallett next month for the second time. Any Owen fan here?

no longer upcoming but three days past
the show in Gothenburg this Saturday last
when I saw Imogen Heap for the first time
it was truly spectacular stunningly sublime
so to well enough describe its excellence
I feel that I can only quote the words
"an epic concert" uttered afterwards
by another member of the audience

I continue my habit of making rhyme
to describe such a musical good time
an experience that merits more than prose
if I am truly to express my personal praise
now that it's been no less than three days
since I saw Immi Heap perform a full doze
of her songs on stage, a two and half hour set
with a five-member band, how very well met
I do declare, that I was actually there!

Went to see Godlfrapp last tuesday in Brussels (for the 3rd time in a couple of months) and it was absolutely brilliant!
Alison was radiant and as gorgeous as ever, musicians in top form, and I had a hell of a good time!
I have developed a slight obsession for Alison lately...
