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!!

http://event.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=events.detail&eventID=492057.07056

I'm an old man now and have pretty much "retired" from concert-going. But I think I'm taking my daughter to see Anberlin (opening for Taking Back Sunday) and perhaps Fall Out Boy next month.

Jane's Addiction/NIN in May and Depeche Mode in September. Other than that probably just local bands here and there...

good to see a few people catching the NIN/JA tour

that's gonna be amazing.

would prefer to see a ninja tour!

added blur warm up gig to my list.

I was mulling over how awesome that tour would be to see... and then I remembered that I did see that tour, back when it was called the first Lollapalooza. Just trim out the fat (I'm looking at you, Butthole Surfers) and you've got an awesome show on tap.

LOS CAMPESINOS! TONITE...........

The Men They Couldn't Hang are supporting The Wonderstuff, odd combination but thats us sorted next month.

My step-daughter Hannah works at MR SCRUFF's coffee shop in Manchester's Northern Quarter,and she's been asked to go down and work in his refreshment tent.

I'm going seeing Twisted Wheel tonight. They're doing an acoustic set in the small pub where they started out

Belladrum this weekend.

Mr. Scruff's refreshment tents are legendary - the only place to go and get a decent mug of tea (yup, mug!) on a festival site overlooking the river! :)

(Along with a Pieminister pie, mash and gravy)!

I'm only going for the day (i.e. tomorrow), but that'll be one of my first ports of call!

(Edited my post on the first page - a more up-to-date list that I have to keep referring back to in order to try and plan my year)!

erm, Yo La Tengo, the Happy Mondays opening for the Psychedelic Furs.......and because I love a good freak show, the return of the Butthole Surfers. Band Of Horses is a probable, I'm sure there's a couple of others I'm forgetting, I'll be checking out the PDX gig listings on Wednesday.

I missed The Joy Formidable at Bella at the weekend by an hour. The result of driving up in a forty year old VW splitty that doesn't go above 55mph. There's high quality footage of them on Youtube from that gig. Looked ace.

a 69 split? that's quite a late model isn't it?

Actually Mr Pedantic it's only 34 years old. It is a very rare 1975 model which was only produced in South Africa for one year using a job lot of leftover splitty parts from Brazil. I do however also have a 1960 model in mint condition. 49 years old and not a spot of rust.

pedantic? you said it was forty years old & i thought that was quite late for a splitty, was a serious question!

the '60 dub sounds nice no rust? good job this isn't the doves thread! (have to wonder how often it's allowed out to play in scotland then)

'Boy that cried wolf' syndrome Dave! I thought you were alluding to the fact that they stopped making splittys in 67. The 1960 beast is safely garaged awaiting it's second new engine in 8 months. They're both pick-ups by the way, not campers. Like campers with the back bit cut off!

i didn't klnow what year it was, just that 69 would be quite late.

they changed the shape on t3's drastically in 67 as well, lengthened the bonnet & ruined it a bit in my mind - that when they stopped doing oval window t1's?

• seems to have been a year of changes in the other models

Not many gigs for lord apart from:

Complete Stone Roses - Lucorum Barnsley this sat

Depeche mode - mancland 19th dec

Thats it unless owt pops up in the meantime.

I would have been to any of their concerts around here too, if they wouldn't play the big arenas only now. I hate those huge impersonal venues :(.

They were surprisingly fantastic! Very, very loud. They and the audience were extremely into it. Jack pounds the shit out of those drums. Allison's voice is perfect for this band and she came off as a master front woman. I didn't care for the album on the first few listens but they definately rock out live. I almost sold my ticket at the last minute but so glad I went. http://causeequalstime.com/2009/08/the-dead-weather-ogden-theatre-08-17-09/
