I'm going to be starting my new job tomorrow! I was starting to worry that it would never actually happen.
I saw Jarvis Cocker last night, with Carys and Helen. I really enjoyed the gig, i think mainly because the performance was so fantastic. I think the songs on his album are okay at best, but they seemed more striking when played live. I think in terms of stage presence, he's really quite unique, and i (inevitably) started thinking about how i could improve my own performances. I mean, with Jarvis, you feel like if you blink at any time, you'll miss something, and in terms of keeping the crowd engaged, you can't do any better. The polar opposite would be feeling like you could walk off for 5 minutes and not really have missed anything, and there are enough bands that applies to.
Of course, i wouldn't want to be some 2nd rate Jarvis imitation frontman. That would seem somewhat unoriginal. I'll see what i can do anyway.
Tonight, i'm planning to head to the Thirsty Scholar to see Billy Ruffian. It should be fun. And the tomorrow i'm going to see Narcissus at the Roadhouse. That will be 3 gigs in 3 days! Then, it's Killing Fantasy on thursday. I guess i'll be busy this week if nothing else.
Oh, and The Railway have a bunch of new gig dates. See http://www.themidlandrailway.co.uk/Forum/viewforum.php?f=2 for details.
