You might actually get some people along to that one, cos we need a Xmas piss-up. We could all sit in a pub round the corner.

Not much going on here in Holland so it's just Elbow in November and Tindersticks somewhere in december (although i will see them twice that month)

Got offered tickets to see Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed next week but told the bloke to piss off with that boring shite

Bloody hell, are these goths still around? thought Andrew Eldritch would be retired by now

I know! I was shocked to find out they were still touring...no new stuff and Andrew Eldridge is the only original member but the concert was amazing! It was nice to see a band in a more intimate venue rather than a huge stadium. I could actually see the band!
