The Gig Thread

Now imagine if Kendrick got it in his head procedurally generated music was a cool thing and decided to produce an audio-visual experience out of it. There's maybe 10-15 minutes of it that was good. The rest was just ambient iffyness with knackered time signatures. And I usually love knackered time signatures.

Ozzy the fucking prick cancelled Wednesday night.

Off to Massive Attack's Mezzanine XX1 tour tomorrow at the MEN. Fucking hyped.

My drought is over. Booked to see Mogwai at the Sage in the new year.

Nice!

I'm also seeing Bob next month. Plus PUP and Pavement. I was supposed to see Willy Mason a couple of weeks ago actually too, but I had to miss it.

It was a great show actually. Much rockier than usual and the drummer was ace. It's insane that I've been watching him play since 2005

I've only ever seen him once and it was probably just pre-Covid. He was great. Obviously his catalogue is not massive (and this was before he released the most recent album) but he just got people to shout out what they wanted to hear towards the end and he did it. That first album is really a forgotten little gem from that era of music.

Craig Finn is coming through Leeds at the weekend too actually, I may go. Although it's a Sunday night and I would probably have to solo it. I liked his latest album. Finn solo is pretty solid in general to be honest.

Saw John Cale last night. Got to be the oldest person I've ever seen perform. And fuck is he old, I think right on the cusp of being able to pull off a solo show. Didn't recognise most of it, but his voice has held up incredibly well and he accompanied every song on piano or guitar, which is some feat considering how rigid and immobile he is. I just hope it isn't a Stan Lee sort of situation.
