where will it end

i should've been going to the manc cathedral gig, but am double-booked.

just had a tiny ticket spree. mbv, low, lanterns on the lake. really excited. still haven't given up hope of depeche mode. (i am a naively optimistic fool.) also really fancy mark eitzel at the bush hall or hebden bridge trades - both gorgeous venues.

Richard Hawley - 3 times in Feb 2013

yes, but they're rescheduled from last year, and the band are just finishing a new album at the mo - fuller tour later in the year, maybe?

i really want to see the fauns. i'm going to speak to the chap who's putting on public service broadcasting here and see if he'll try coaxing them up.

Johnny Marr Re:Order/Smithys The Knife Tim Burgess

Not a bad start to the year.

primavera sound 2013

Hooky & The Light @ Koko Grauzone Festival (A Certain Ratio / Echo & The Bunnymen / Chameleons Vox), Amsterdam A Guy Called Gerald, London (x 2 - Feb/Mar) re:order / The Smythes, Manchester Ulrich Schnauss, London Sonar Festival (Kraftwerk because I missed out on London tickets!)

Possibly the Inspirals (performing their "Life" album), Section 25 (London), and The House Of Love (London) - depends on what else is on!

seen this? sneak preview of new album

Wilko johnson down at Pompey and Robbie williams up in the smoke.

The sound of music

Was going to see Lady Ga Ga in Detroit last night but she has pulled the whole tour, ended up getting pissed in Hooters instead

Never looked at you in a sexual way

If The A+Team can pull off more than two bloody gigs a year, then maybe I won't have to wait 'til October to see 'em...

New Order Joderell Bank

Oh and Hooky and the light down the road,

Lets Go!

Seen The Stranglers last week

Bob Mould in May at Oran Mor (cracking wee venue)

and Jodrell Bank in July

we'll see if anything else comes up

depeche mode in dublin in the autumn! assuming we get tickets on friday.

my joy is tempered by the fact my little brothers do not subscribe to my new "sitting down at gigs" ethos. ack.

STUPID DUBLIN O2

i don't suppose anyone's an O2 ireland customer with a pre-sale code they don't want?!

EOTR! have ummed and ahhed about this festival for several years, but have finally had my arm twisted.

anyone else going/doing other festivals this summer?

Blimey , i see Primal Scream are playing Coventry Kasbah next Friday night before playing Glastonbury on Saturday night. Cov Kasbah is NOT a big venue.Probably the biggest band that's played there.

this lot.

here we go:

lanterns on the lake autumn dates

the new single's lovely too.

I looked up this Lanterns On The Lake you mention. Picked a song called Another Tale From Another English Town. The first few guitar notes and sound instantly brought to mind that version of Song To The Siren that Brendan Perry did for that Canadian radio thing a couple of years back. So I liked the start of the song. Thought the melancholic dreaminess of the song sounded a bit forced on first listen but it's ok. The female vocal sounds similar to someone I can't put my finger on and the music maybe a bit Sigur Ros in places. But yeah I like her voice and the lines she sings about just " wishing our lives away" and " wanting the quiet life " though I don't necessarily condone that attitude. Thank you.

Actually, I think I would have enjoyed the song immensely if I heard it for the first time when I'd been in the bath for 37 and a 1/2 minutes, you know, when the immersion in the water and the gentle sound of the soap bubbles popping starts to have the desired effect . As it was I was hunched over the computer .

hahahaha! thank you for this thoughtful and detailed review, johnny.

i am currently dithering about their london gig even as we speak. i don't want to miss out on a ticket, but i happen to know they *may* release seated tickets in the lovely balcony nearer the time. whatever shall i DOOO?! ho hum.
