I saw Chuck Ragan at the Windmill, which was rather enjoyable. Strangely although the show was sold out, it was far from packed towards for Chuck's set. I also really enjoyed the main support of Sam Russo.

Terrible news on the Flowerpot.

Hopefully Lexapalooza can still be rescued. I don't really want to jump in with a suggestion for where to relocate, but if Evan wants suggestions I'd (as I guess we all would) be happy to help.

60% of our contracts at work are for the public Sector, so I'm feeling slightly insecure with work. But, our IT Manager just left and I'm going to be taking on quite a large chunk of his workloads so hopefully I'll be okay.

Damn I forgot about this, had a day off today and totally forgot about it this morning.

As there are a few Superman Revenge Squad fans here I thought i'd post up one of there (now more than just Ben's) new songs up.

Evan, your nice bold date for Lexapalooza has just made me realise the date/gig clash I may have.

I've just bought a ticket for Chuck Ragan at Brixton Windmill in October. I just got mine too... Me too. I have three planned gigs for the rest of the year. 9th Oct - World Internation John Peel Day 2010 @ Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes 20th Oct - Chuck Ragan 12th Dec - Godspeed You! Black Emporer.

I'm also going to the first London GYBE show, infact it's the only gig I've got planned for the remainder of the year. For the last few years I'd typically do 60-70 gigs a year. This year I've been to around 5 I think. However I did see The Damned in a park in Croydon on Saturday though, for free.

I'll need to grab that Dr Dog album, pretty sure I saw them a few years back supporting Mistys Big Adventure at the Windmill, and they were quite enjoyable. Just one of those bands I never revisited. and yes the Walter Schreifels album is superb. I'm currently listening to Hold Your Horse Is. I pres...

I went to my Uncles funeral today. Was a really nice service; the vicar really was hilarious. My uncle died of a brain tumour, which he had only been diagnosed with a week before his death. Really make you think how precious life is. I hadn't seen my Aunt for quite a few years due to a family argume...

I no definate gigs to go to until Decmber. But then I'll have two in two days, Frank followed by Godspeed You! Black Emporer.

Yeah it was great. Opening with Cut Your Hair 8) When we came out of Brixton tube a tout was trying to sell tickets for a fiver and I wasn't expecting anything. But I asked another tout and he gave me a fiver for the ticket, not great but better than nothing. Two other friends had spare tickets as w...

holy fuck i have a hard time believing there's going to be a better album this year.

This.

They were amazing at the Electric Ballroom last week.

I'm currently listening to Aconite Thrill. It's been a while.

I'm seeing Pavement at Brixton tomorrow. I was going with 2 others but one pulled out a while back and I've not been able to shift the spare ticket.

Does anyone want a ticket for Pavement tomorrow for a nominal fee?

A stream of the new 65daysofstatic album.
