TUNE YARDS IN SUPPORT!

best gig ever

surprised they're playing the scala again though

We get sent a text at 5pm saying where it is

there was still about 100 wristbands left an hour ago

I got a ticket!

woot!

I'm confused

This came out ages ago?

It looks like a Stone Roses cover

But I care little, this is probably my most anticipated record of the year.

No one cares anymore

I did correct myself ;)

And if we're counting this record, it would definitely make my top 5. It's soundtracked some of my best nights of the year.

This album

is better than 95% of those on that DiS list

there's 2

and White City (?) is nearby

Yeah what are they doing with Ocean?

Is it just standing there?

Get there at the start

and stay there. Basically.

No mention of Liz Green or American Music Club either

who were my 2 highlights. Can't see it all though I suppose.

Another episode of

"When did Kings of leon get so big?" - last week I was shocked to hear they were #1, now I see they're playing the o2! I've clearly been wrapped in my snobbery bubble.

Yey!

The London gig is on

the 5th so that's a Wednesday and thus not the White Heat clubnight, right?

I'd probably go to 100 BW and Hope ones

if it was in London

Ha

We'll start getting a habit for this.

I better save my pennies as I'm half-hoping to have a NYC trip before the year is out.

Yup

the band were watching it behind me and the promoter had to drag them away to get onstage as there was a curfew. Think they only ended up playing for about 40 mins as a result. Still great though.

YES!

They played ULU in 2004 and it was awesome. Good news.

Excellent article Jordan

Nice to see a Joiners Arms namedrop :D

Overpriced drinks

and a wanky door polciy but any venue of that size is not good news.

Arrgh

Too much happening on Saturday :(

Seeing them at End of the Road

and then Dirty Three straight after will be SWEET

This band

should have been massive, so underrated

Shit!

4:40-4:44 of the Know Your Enemy performance in '96 = WOW

I was there in 2000, it was brilliant. And indeed Stereophonics, Placebo and Slipkont were above them. Sad times. I had a bacon roll during Slipkont. It was lush.

To misquote The Simpsons

"I just heard this place existed"

The Nina Nastasia and the National clash

is well annoying

I wish

I went to the thing he did in Dalston in May, especially since it's 2 mins from my flat! Pffffffft.

Bill Callahan

that day was SO good. Best time I've seen him.

The second

ATP Director's Cut was my first ATP and thus holds a very special place in my heart. Le Tirge, Love, Explosions in the sky, Deerhoof at 2 in the afternoon having no idea who they were, first time hearing Modest Mouse, Notwist, Dizzee at 2am! Good times.

But as documented elsehwere, Pitchfork was probably the best ATP I've been to and I've been to 12.

last year

nobody was on longer than 30 mins, this is an improvement

Quite

although at Stage and Dagger in May I had no problems getting into any of the venues, and the bands on offer were of a similar stature.

TVOTR will probably play 93 Feet East or somewhere else a bit bigger. I'd hope so anyway.

This was a brilliant gig

and I really like the venue too, very impressed.

Couldn't see them at Melt

as the room was full, happy to hear about this.

Sounds very Massive Attack

She opened with this at Meltdown, it was amazing.

Glastonbury last year from London

took 8 hours to get there, 14 to get back. Car broke down 3 times in total. Never again (both driving and Glastonbury in general)

I did think it was

Calvin Harris featuring Dizzee when I first heard it
