Very jealous of you seeing Laura Marling, Sammy. Missed her at The Sage by just never bothering opening up those What's On books they send.

Aye, looking forward to it, mate. I must be on a few mailing lists these days and you get no end of shit sent through, so I've probably missed a few decent acts myself for not wading through it all, but well pleased I got on this one.

Quite acoustic flavoured for me in the next few weeks:

The Staves at The Cluny, Thurs 23 Feb

Fairport Convention at the Sage, Sun 26 Feb

Joan Baez at the Sage, Tues 28 Feb

Rob Noakes at Porters, Tynemouth, Sunday 4 March (providing I get back from a weekend in Arbroath in time)

It gets noisier after that with Sexual Objects at the Star & Shadow 16th March

Then quieter again Ray Laidlaw & Friends, Cluny 2 on 23rd March

Big gap until  Christy Moore at City Hall on Easter Sunday, then Sandy Denny tribute night at Sage in late May

Goodness, I'm a folkophile these days......

Tune Yards playing tonight, only found out about it yesterday. Sold out.

I was at her/their Shepherd's Bush Empire gig on Wednesday night. I'd love to say it was shit but it was bloody fantastic. Sorry.

These indie/folk band names just get worse.

It's like they've running out of words to go with 'The -'.

Seen Marling live a few times, actually saw her play when she was 16 and even then she was clearly something special, should be a good one that

Seeing St. Vincent and tUnE-yArDs later in the month.

Really good. Bit schizophrenic though - powerful but cold and calculated for most of the set, then she goes and does a protracted whirling dervish crowd-surfing guitar solo in the encore. Several fans needed medical treatment for a stiletto to the head.

Reading/Leeds lineup out.  4 good bands, rest shite.  No change there then.

[Monroe Transfer]

Paramore second Friday mainstage headliners?

lolwut

I see they've secured the services of At the Drive-In though, which I suppose is a bit of a coup.

Kaiser Chiefs third on the bill?    Is it 2005?

At The Drive In reunion would be worth seeing though.

Reading Festival spunk all their money on getting 3 big name bands (ACDC turned down £5m to play last year) and then the rest of the line up consists of filler bands.

Absolute rip off price as well!

Laura Marling is awesome. I saw her years ago when she was first starting out and warming up for the Kooks. Great musician.

[Ayatollah Hermione]

Leeds/Reading is a great place to go if you want to see average rock music surrounded by a bunch of 17 year olds away from home for the first time, acting the cunts.

In short, go somewhere chilled out instead.

Wouldn't mind seeing The Shins at Leeds like but it's hardly the best place to take in their stuff.

Clearly you've never actually been to Download before.

Seeing Rival Sons and Black Stone Cherry tomorrow.  Massively looking forward to it, especially as the client I'm auditing at the moment is, well, lets say tricky.
