Interesting music. I like bands that have singers who can't sing and I'm over hearing women sing with the same "perfect voice". The one where all the punters feel the intensity and share the moment as the singer holds on to those notes. Makes me want to puke. The older I get I've realised that every band I've liked has had singers who's voice was another instrument in the sound scape not the focus.
Chris,a mate who was there tells me there is a recording being sold of the Birman Pado Town Hall gig.Seems it was recorded and the masters have surfaced.
I've seen the film clips but a recording would be worth having and what a great concert to have gone to. The Saints played there that night as well I think and apparently thought Birdman were a bunch of Neo-Nazis. Can you get a hold of the recording?
Tried the Brian Jonestown Massacre? Latest album Revelation is particularly 'good' as is the compilation album Tepid Pepermint Wonderland containing the excellent 'Anenome'....
Bonus! My poofta mate just phoned telling me he just purchased a new shit-hot stereo, and was throwing out his old one ....... nothing wrong with it. It's going into my shed now
I'd just like to clarify, my poofta mate wasn't a poofta when we met .......... a few years after he left his wife and came out, he was just like a straight bloke.
Now, he is as camp as, and loaded ......... but, I don't feel threatened, he claims I'm not attractive to gays. I did ask "And, why the fuck not?"
Been giving the new Pink Floyd album "The endless rehash" a listen and it is disappointing shite.... I am however enjoying The war on drugs "Lost in the dream".
Gogol Bordello are one of the bands on my wish list.
Wanted to go see the Afghan Whigs in Edinburgh next month but it's on my wedding anniversary so might be considered unwise. Interpol are playing Glasgow on Valentines day so my usual gig going company is expected to take his fianc?e for dinner instead.
I must be getting old, I've pretty much stopped reading the gig listings so I've no idea who else is touring.
Mind you, Stiff Little Fingers (17/3, Barrowlands) probably don't qualify for padders post 78 rule
In an attempt at enlightenment my elder son dropped off a hard drive of music I should be listening to.
Puscifer and White Lies are his favourites at the moment.
Gave him one of my White Lies albums he didn't have, +1 for the old folk.
