? Lose a bet? Or did the priest know it was you at your last (doubtless lengthy) confession, and figured a bit of mumbling and bead twitching just wasn't cuttin the mustard this time?

Say 14 Our Da's and 10 Hail wassernames, and sit through 2 hours of bongo's one man sanctimony extravaganza.

Next time, don't confess to deflowering his daughter.

DEfo going to MOZZER in Salisbury in May,plus the holy trinity that is RE-ORDER,TRANSMISSION & CLONE ROSES at Academy,might be seeing DELPHIC at Chapel,Wilmslow,defo ULTRAVOX at Roundhouse on April 30th. Due for a payoff next month so might see SAINT ETIENNE's FOXBASE ALPHA tour in Sheffield next month.And possibly the PETS. See how much I've spent on little Monty,and see if there's any coffers on my Paypal for a Depeche ticket at MEN in December.

Re:order Pet Shop Boys (London/ Manchester) Take That (with Joe) V Festival (Staffordshire) Get Loaded In The Park (Orbital)

I would kill to go to that Saint Etienne gig.

I saw White Lies and Friendly Fires a couple of weeks ago and they were amazing...the sets were really short though...only about 40 minutes each and no encores.

Going to see U2, Coldplay, NIN/Jane's Addiction and DM so far..

Band of Horses - Friday - Oakland, CA Silversun Pickups - Saturday - Berkely in-store

Bruce Springsteen - May 15 - Hershey, PA The National - May 29 - Philadelphia

With a young child at home, it's a little hard to plan anything out further than a month or so....

Hoping to hit....

Depeche Mode - August 1 - Atlantic City

saw TSOL in Santa Cruz two weeks ago and they were great!

im going back to see Turbonegro, tomorrow!!
