Blur is playing in Belgium this summer, but the tickets are a bloody 60€... Should I go? is it worth that money? Are they live still relevant? Questions, questions, questions... Tickets in Dublin range from €79.65 - €89.90 before fees! Bear in mind that the support may not be to your liking either;...

England v France, game of the tournament for me. Quality from start to finish as two heavyweights slugged it out. England on top for most of it but alas not to be. A lot of the other matches have been thrilling for the last 10-15 minutes but not for the duration. This one was at it from the off. Wis...

Yeah, looking forward to Saturday alright, should be good.
Loved Son's pass to set up S.Korea's injury time winner against Portugal. If Messi played that we'd never hear the end of it.

Bono's in goal for Morocco..."In the naaaame of glove, no score in the name of glove."

Glad to hear the feedback from people about what the contents of this actually sound like. If it's a case of spot the difference I think I am gonna give it a miss. Still feel bad as it still looks pretty nice, but I just can't justify the price I couldn't justify the price either which is why i've ...

The Cure - Lot of The Cure the last few weeks before seeing them this weekend, looking forward to this, Very good in Dublin tonight Gary. I wasn't really in the humour beforehand but they managed to turn me around. One of the new songs really worked for me i must say. About 4 or 5 songs in. In fact...

I've heard a couple of their albums and liked them. White Light Fever is one of them, can't remember the other. Saw them at LPF in 2017 where i got a distinct BJM vibe but with added keyboards. Again, i enjoyed them.

Southeast Of Saturn Vol.2 has just been released.

Thanks Laz! Didn't know there was new stuff so immediately did a search for more info. They're now a four piece with a White Manna dude added to the ranks. Album coming in February. There appears to be a poster with the black vinyl but not the coloured. Pre-order here: https://meltoncarlton.bandcamp...

Divide & Dissolve, Whelans, Dublin - Australian two-piece consisting of drums and guitar/sax in a Doom style. Saw them supporting Low in Vicar Street earlier this year and enjoyed them, although the between song chat grated when i reckon they used up 10 minutes of a 40min. set pontificating. I'...

Duke Garwood - Rogue's Gospel: I know nothing about Duke outside of his Mark Lanegan collaboration but a review of this piqued my interest. I suspect a lot of you Lanegan fans would enjoy this. Mellow, bluesy and spacious in the main, the biggest drawback is that i can easily hear Lanegan's voice a...

I must admit I didn't notice the 'Reset' on the cover *right* away but did spot it a little while ago! Kinda wish I had done the vinyl preorder to get those extra bits and slipmat now. Just to be clear; the slipmat didn't come with the preorder. You had to buy the album over the counter in an actua...

Got the bonus material in an email from Domino today. Not had a listen yet.

There was a list of shops that are stocking the slipmats but i can't find it now.

Great gesture Spaceline. Not sure i'd have fast enough internet to upload it all but would be interested in a usb chain. Although the last time we did that, for videos, it got lost in transit somewhere. Or someone nicked it.

Pavement, Vicar St., Dublin - The first of 3 gigs in 4 days for me. The band had two sold out nights (their final gigs of the tour) and i was at the first. Managed to pick up a cheaper, rather than cheap, ticket a few days beforehand as I wasn't prepared to pay €60 for Pavement. Two hour set, playe...

This gig illustrates why i think they should give it up. They've not come anywhere close for years but shows like these were once a regular occurrence.

There's a free Reset slipmat available with the lp at some record shops.

I have also only just realised that the front cover spells Reset. I had just seen some coloured shapes with random black dots up 'til now

Shit & Shine - Confusion: Bookended by two very different but very good tracks. Opener 'Annoyed' is a driving, droning, distorted instrumental that ideally would be listened to at maximum volume whilst staring into a strobe. I'd like it a bit heavier but that's just me. The closing tune 'Robbed...

There you go then. Maybe i wildly over estimate Goat's popularity but i thought they'd be playing venues twice that size. Certainly minimum 1000 capacity.

As the other thread states; now available for pre-order in official store. With the obligatory outrageous postage.

Didn't know where else to comment but it appears that David Cameron's decision to hold a Brexit referendum was the catalyst for the utter chaos going on in Britain for years now, so it seem only right to post here.

Bill Callahan - YTILAER: New album from Bill and it's pretty good. Some great one liners and phrasing as you would expect, plus some typical Smog/Bill musical moments. It could easily slip into dull, bland 'maturity', but, thankfully, does not. There are a few tunes that would stand up to the earli...

After missing Rose City Band in Norwich, I saw that The Lemonheads were playing so a little nostalgia trip for an evening and thought it could be quite cool. Always really liked them and have been listening regularly to Shame About Ray recently. Man, it was bad and easily the worst gig I've seen. A...

Was just listening to Laminated Denim today actually. Not bad, two 15 minute tracks. Sounds like a cross between Neu! and the Grateful Dead for chunks of it. The only two KG albums i like and can name are I'm In Your Mind Fuzz and Infest The Rats Nest. I do like others but there are so many of them ...

Sometimes I'm concerned that I can't enjoy things because I just analyze the shit out of them, or wonder what it is about something that other people enjoy that I just don't get. Hmm...i have an opposite reaction in that i can't enjoy things because i don't receive a visceral punch to the guts/hear...

sunray

Fair play, that's a well written piece. Anhedonia was a new word for me too, so thanks for that

It always amazes me what people can read into music when my reaction is generally "I like that. Turn it up."

sunray

I believe BZA was quite enamoured by the Steven Wells review when it appeared. That's actually my first time reading it. Or maybe not. Something in my mind is telling me Barry quoted the whole thing on here a long time ago.

Swells certainly enjoyed the gig more than Daniel Booth

Cheers for that, had no idea. Although i originally read it as SpaceMEN Demo Mixes. Oh well...

Tracklisting doesn't thrill me (I already have the JK tribute album) but i'll try to pick up a copy.

Anyone listen to the new album 'Wilderness of Mirrors'? https://blackangels.bandcamp.com/album/ ... of-mirrors

Pretty solid outing, but with 15 songs it's gonna take some time to digest. The usual tropes but with a few new sounds too.

When this was first reported yesterday i had assumed it was the bass player. Was under the impression he was the party-head of the band now.

October tour postponed to May 2023

Probably my most anticipated gig for the second half of this year so fairly gutted it's been put back. Still, what's a few more months after three decades of waiting for their return to these shores?

That was a little too much to resist. I love that era of MM.

Ugh - I can still so clearly remember seeing an ad for the Town & Country gig in the NME and wanting to go, but in those days I only really had one gig buddy and he wasn't bothered. The concept of solo gig-going was anathema to the then-21 year-old me. Regrets, I've had a few... Shame. After mi...
