Now while the Foo Fighters at times can seem boringly commercial, I was suprised by how good they were the first time I saw them live at the BDO (some year). The last show they played at BEC was incredible and still stands out as one of the most fun gigs I've been to. Since the latest album has come out (which I don't have yet), I have been waiting ( Read more... )

Faaaaarrrrrkkkk! silverchair are playing BDO. Dammit, I so wasn't gonna go this year and what's the chances of actually being pulled outta the ballot thing at this late stage. F**k!

In better news, Muse tonight yippee! 

So I'm up this morning waiting for Sufjan Stevens tickets to go on sale, now that is an exciting show! I had to choose between that and PJ Harvey cause I'm too poor for both but really there was no competition, there's no way I'm missing Sufjan Stevens. I notice that PJ isn't selling all that quickly so if I get rich sometime soon, I might do both ( Read more... )

One of my incentives for having a lj is to have somewhere to write about all the gigs I go to, something to look back on cause they all get blurry (or even forgotten) over time. But I haven't been doing it which is f**ken annoying. You've got to do it straight away or you lose the feeling of it but anyway I'll give it a go... (this gets really long ( Read more... )

It's been a while, this got kinda long...

The Music Stuff:

Caught Holly Throsby @ the Globe on Thurs night. She gets better and better every time I see her. I loved her set. She is such an endearing performer. I bought a couple of cute little comics that she has done (as back story to her albums), they're super sweet and made me love her even more. ( Read more... )

I was gonna do a big update today but facebook is eating my brain. I blame my flatmate, she got me into the place and she brings out my competitive streak. We both had the day off today so we have been doing nothing but playing facebook all day; pirating, scrabbling, quizzing, it's super addictive. She's on study break so I'm enabling her ( Read more... )

Random bits and pieces:

UpFest is cancelled! :(  Michael Franti double booked! How do you double book a whole festival tour? That's so stupid. I was really looking forward to that show. They are doing refunds, last night I asked the universe for money to buy a Ben Kweller ticket - this is not what I wanted! So sad.

Josh Pyke was so cute on Spicks and Specks tonight. His ( Read more... )
