Has to be said that Muse last night was amazing. What wasnt so amazing was how cold in was while i was looking for a taxi at 5am this morning. Morrissey was also outstanding on saturday night.
Off to see the charlantans tonight!

Erlend Oye 'DJ Kicks' was a fantastic release,which seemed to pass by virtually un-noticed. The fact that everyone i played it to either bought it or wanted a copy shows the quality!
Aside from Morrissey and the Cure, the Pet Shop Boys' two singles from PopArt "Flamboyant" and "Miracles" were also ace tunes. Seems like a return to form, I hope. Now, if their next album sounds like that, and with less guitars, I will be happy.
The Zutons. Keane. Franz Ferdinand. Kasabian. Snow Patrol.
5 new bands,5 great albums.
Doubt we`ll get so many decent debut albums in 05.
(i know its Snow Patrol`s 3rd,but who knew them before this one?)
Erm... i knew Snow Patrol before this year. I still fail to see exactly what the fuss is about snow patrol. Spitting Games is *alright* but what else?
2005 does have a lot to live up to, i'll agree with that.
IV'E BEEN TO V2004,FAITHLESS WERE SHIT HOT,CHARLATONS OK, SCISSOR SISTERS GIG WAS GOOD,ILL BE BACK AT STAFFORD FOR 2005 I HOPE ..
THE BEST OF ALL FOR 2004 FOR ME WAS IAN BROWN:) I WAS AT BRIXTON ACADAMY,HE SANG STONE ROSES ONE AFTER ANOTHER,WHAT A NIGHT!! HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE ON DVD ONE DAY!!
Best of 2004 gigs: the final appraisal for me. Morrissey @ MEN, Move, Preston, Leeds and Earls Court all stand out. Macca at Glasto. Muse @ Earls Court.
Baldrick, i take yer point about Ian Brown. I was there, first night at the Apollo when Mani and Noel Gallagher came out. Storming night. Classic tunes all night. Saw the Scissor Sisters three times this year. Both sets at glastonbury, first set when it was PISSING down was fun, and the set in the dance tent was enjoyable, but a bit of a comedown after an incredible set from british sea power. Saw the Scissor Sisters in the Apollo which was a great gig.
Wouldnt mind going to V stafford myself. Its not that far away, and the line up is more suited to my tastes than Leeds/Reading. the thing is have though is the idea of a music festival named after Virgin. Could just be one big expensive Virgin advertisement. anyway, I'll see how the line up goes.
