strummier stuff.

This really reminds me of when I saw them a few weeks ago and i'm delighted to be able to experience it, kinda, again. Shall probably be released in a deluxe cd/dvd issue I suppose when they win the Mercury next year.

made up word.

though I would prefer it if the chose the setlist from your list...that's mighty fine.

After playing Supersonic, would have thought they'd have got a good turnout in Brum or Nottingham...

Murmur was the first R.E.M. lp that I bought, in 86/87. I've still only got it on vinyl but will put this on my Christmas list! I've only seen them once, NEC on the Green Tour 1989, but that's still one of the best shows ever and this is still one of the best records.

I used to go and see them ALL THE TIME. Listening to Hands On on last.fm now, it's streaming and sounds brilliant. 2nd album is tosh, i've got that on CD whereas i've all the EPs on vinyl- maybe that's the difference!

and seeing them live last week, I blummin LOVE this album. It's definately an 8.5, maybe a 9 and nudging ahead of TVOTR for current favourite of the year, but I haven't listened to Fleet Foxes or Alopecia for a few weeks...

in Birmingham, maybe they'll see how that goes then pull their collective finger out of their London arsehole...

some festival show on mtv2 the other day, and the Enemy came on. Without any prompting, my six year old son said "Is that his real face?" about goblin chops. Ha ha ha!!

But thought perhaps he was a bit of a dick, but I like all of what he says here. Lesser Free Trade Hall though, isn't it? In Manchester.

but a happy reminder. New album seems to be fabulous after several airings, and a top live band too. All good.

Also the Cave Singers were amazing (and amazed at the crowd reaction!) Caribou were phenomenal (i'd never seen them before) and I really enjoyed Archie Bronson Outfit and Wild Beasts. Amongst many others, Thought the line up was weaker than last year, but seems they know a fair bit about music that Jo and Danny...

Good Answer had a bunch of songs that were on Nice... and not many people knew of them back then. It's not like you can go and buy Good Answer in a shop. Bad answer?
I love the Spinto Band. Huzzah for them.

of an early death. Loved the World of Twist singles Sweets and She's a Rainbow.

Mix-tape magician. Fair comment.

Up to £5.50!

With all those appalling sponsors name places, The Palace of Auburn Hills sounds simply divine.

My favourite label of all time, there was a period when I bought everything they released. Just as well I don't now, but still some good acts to add to TV on the Radio, The Breeders and Beirut. Can't think of any more current signings..

Hopefully a full band show!

There's a poster to prove it and everything!

Still about 40 acts to be announced, hoping for Yeasayer, Fleet Foxes, Fujiya and Miyagi, of Montreal, Polyphonic Spree, White Rabbits, The Bees and Menomena. I can but hope!!

Well, they were in 1989 when I saw them.

you bought a single from a shop? It used to be all the rage when I was a lad, etc.

A 22 year old photo. Nice. Only Gedge remains.

Apparently.

No one in that list makes me excited, mainly because I haven't heard of most of them! Still going though.

Saw them supporting Ian Brown, and
it was just cringe worthy. (Cue comments about Ian Brown being cringe-worthy, he's not. I said so.)
That track with the sweary chorus is embarrassing. I have been wrong before mind. I said Kylie would never make it as a pop star.

Starting to like the community column, I got tickets instantly! £190 for 4 tho, ouch.

I know they are using the old pics in the ad's but is it really Colm, Belinda and Debbie as well as Sir Shields? Isn't Debbie Goodge a London cabbie now? (whispers... it could be shit) They were the loudest band I ever saw (Birmingham institute in 1991) and Itreasure the pain!

at Green man would be perfect, but like the man says, Sunday night is too late. Malkmus really suffered because a) noone knew his songs and b) most of the crowd left after Devendra anyway.
