Just got back from seeing Wheatus at Milton Keynes. Absolutely fantastic, one of the best gigs I've been to.

Ok, not strictly a gig but just back from Black Sabbath the ballet.
Wasn't sure what to expect as I'm not a massive ballet fan, but really enjoyed it.
Amazing how the music didn't seem out of place, and an appearance by Tony Iommi for the finale.

- Lancaster... the little city.
not last night but last weekend was Lancaster Music Festival... 50 venues, over 200 acts and 300+ performances from Thursday to Sunday. I booked friday to sunday off work with a view to spend every waking minute enjoying the festival and living off cheap beer and fast food... but I got a bout of sciatica at work on the thursday morning which scuppered my festival plans 
I did manage to stand up for an hour on friday afternoon to watch Stringman; guitar loops and singing. Very good.
Back felt better on Saturday so got to see some trad Chinise musicians, an umpah band from scotland, a fraction of the rock group Eddie & the Wolves, and the awesome Uptown Monotones who raised the roof at the Priory... but after six hours upright i'd overdone it so spent most of sunday flat on my back, and Monday too when i should have been at work.

Bit of a late post but Blink 182 on the 16th at Manchester Arena, brilliant from start to finish!
Tonight, Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple) at the Electric Ballroom in Camden
If I went to sleep tonight and never woke up, I would be happy in the thoughts that I saw Glenn belt out two of my favourite Deep Purple tracks 'Gettin' Tighter' and 'You Keep On Moving' once again. Flippin' supurb. The Voice Of Rock has still got it.

Three upcoming gigs in Hong Kong in December.
The Idles, Pulp and, just announced this morning, De La Soul.
Rod Stewart is playing here in March next year and I'm kind of tempted to grab a ticket and go when they go on sale on Friday.

I'd be tempted to go see the Rod. His time with the Faces and his earlier solo work were very good, and he still does a lot of it live.

Heaven 17 at The Roadmender on Saturday night, supported by a DJ set from Rusty Egan, great night.

To me/personally, it was just noise
Whether the mixing was ‘off’, or it was in conjunction with my tinnitus, it wasn’t a good show
We left about 45 minutes before the end (or when we thought it would finish)
Her voice was getting lost in the guitar
However, she looks the part, has the correct attire, the right moves
No such issues, when we saw ‘Hayseed Dixie’
