Re: U2

I've never liked U2. Ditto. Obviously not to make a deal of it in a thread that is clearly about people liking U2 but I've never had the slightest inclination to listen to them. Probably my loss but there you go. On a loosely related note to this thread, any time Panda and KV wanna release a book a...

Re: Live shows in your agenda?

I saw Dinosaur Jr last week in London - as incredible as ever. Played half the new album and it all blended perfectly with the older stuff.

What a band.

"Fucking amazing" just about covers it... I've loved everything about it (one episode to go... purely saved off from watching so that i had motivation to get thru a Monday at work).

Re: Live shows in your agenda?

Caught Beck in Brixton last month. I've seen him a ton of times since '94 and it's great to see that he's back to his best performance wise - definitely had a lull a few years back after some injury or other. The past 2 shows i've seen have been the 2 sides of Beck's musical output... the first was ...

Re: Ticket for kentish town

So, this was the first Jane's London show in ages that i've missed... and missed through choice rather than circumstance. It's a week since the show now and it simply hasn't crossed my mind - doesn't look as though i missed out on anything either. What did amuse me through last week was that i saw o...

Proper gutted with this one - what an artist. My wife is a huge fan, absolutely loves him. Saw him a bunch of times and his songs are still on in the house pretty frequently... my kids like loads of his songs. But then again, who doesn't.

Thankfully they're in Germany otherwise i'd have had to go the tout route to get a ticket...

I can't believe they are still getting booked. They've had their chances being a relevant band, still today. However, they completely blew it. I was at the Kentish Town Forum for their show in 2003(?) I believe it was Chris Cheney's first gig with Janes. Pretty good show, and The Bays doing doing s...

Quite a few rarely played songs are on that record but, like we all know, there's no guarantee that they'll even play...

Huge disappointment. I'm actually thinking of returning the ticket I bought for their show in Manchester, and maybe getting tickets for Tame Impala instead. This is nothing like Animal Collective. They're one of the headliners at a festival i'm going to in September. Not sure what to expect from th...

Saw it tonight - totally loved it. New characters are generally excellent and the overall vibe of it was bang on originals. Kylo Ren is awesome... hope he gets more bad-ass (i'm guessing he didnt kick it).

Re: Where we're born, versus where we're supposed to be

Born on the south coast of the UK and lived there until my folks went through one hell of a messy break-up. Long story short, ended up on the eastern side of the country and struggled to feel 'at home' throughout my late teens and early-mid twenties. What ultimately changed everything for me was (pr...
