Spiritualized

James T

Some friends of mine saw him do it in Paris earlier this year and said it was very good, so I'm definitely gonna go along.

Also, Olan: You got to see Luna at Wembley Arena then? I was speaking to Sean about that show when I last saw them, I bet it was a wild time for them!

James T

As much as I hate to recommend a best of, the 'Essential' collection is actually a very good selection. As he's a guy with not many hits, it's not like they had to skip on quality control to have the big sellers on there yunno?

The new album is his best since The Future, absolutely outstanding!

James T

Still can't get into it AT ALL

James T

Northern Britain is superb! Not really digging the new one on first listen, looking forward to seeing the show though.

James T

Saw Kraftwerk in San Diego and at the Hollywood Bowl this week (with toomilk), amazing shows! The 3D visuals look really great for the most part, although some of them are a bit tacky, didn't work that well at the bowl but that's cause we were sat quite high up but that is a whole other experience a...

James T

One of the most boring albums I've ever listened all the way through. The Whole Love was a super album, but the last 2 have been baaaaaaaad. Shame because I love Wilco!

James T

It was fine news to wake up to here in sunny San Diego! Gonna watch match of the day now. Have loved watching City play so far this season, breathtaking at times but need to finish teams off which thankfully we did fairly early on yesterday.

James T

If it was possible to be disappointed at a 5-0 win, this would be the one. Still, it isn't possible.

James T

Dominant performance from City without any real "wow" moments other than Kolarov putting in a super performance at centre back (??) and Sterling being man of the match. Stones looked very comfortable, a tidy player who has only been with us a few days anyhow. Nervy moments at the back with...

James T

Interested in all your opinions on Pogba. Good signing or would they be better off strengthening 2/3 positions with that money first given their recent under performance? For me he is more of a final piece in the jigsaw type of player, so I'm intrigued to see how he will do it in a team which eh mig...

James T

Low on Wednesday in Liverpool, Kraftwerk on Saturday/Sunday in Oslo

James T

Yes, I'm shocked! Glad to hear though, no doubts they can produce another great LP (listened to Citizen Zombie again last night and there are some huge tracks on there!)

James T

Sun Kil Moon tomorrow, Pet Shop Boys in February!

James T

Not been said on any of their own accounts but Mark has said it a few times (and since deleted). The live plans have definitely been shelved as I know they were planning 'How Much Longer...' live sets to support the reissue (which is fantastic).

James T

I live very close by, capacity is around 180. I saw Saint Etienne there the other night. It gets some amazing shows for its size, people just love to stop off there. It is by far one of my favourite venues, great bar and good views, the people who run it are great too. Unfortunately I can't make the...

James T

They are being posted in the order of when the order was made. Not ideal but they are making their way out (slowly).

Unfortunately the postage made it impossible for me this time, but the second batch I hope to grab one, seriously gutted to miss out on this!

James T

Shame they broke up again, I loved the newest album!

James T

On the radio they said they'd wait and see how much they enjoy these shows before even thinking about the long term.

James T

"The duo’s Glasgow anniversary gig will take place at the Barrowland Ballroom on October 15. They will play Manchester’s O2 Ritz on October 14 and London’s Brixton Electric on October 13. Tickets are on sale this Friday (June 17) at 9am."

James T

Reunion!

Arabstrap.scot

James T

Seen The Cure a couple of times in the past few years, both were excellent shows with Reeves on guitar and superb setlists (always gonna be I guess). Looking forward to the show in Manchester later this year, even if my seats are kinda shitty. Might try and make another show too, but they're damn pr...

James T

It was me, indeed, who said it was KM. And it is quite funny that after my complaints about him, I came out of that show "actually at kid millions did a fairly decent job tonight"......

James T

I see he played Hold Back The Tears, which I really love, as well as Roll Another Number late on. Love that he is mixing up the set a lot, though I hope he keeps Comes a Time in the opening section cause it's my pap's favourite track and I'm taking him!

James T

Really looking forward to Friday, setlist was superb again last night. My only worry is my seats, although top price and I bought them pre-sale, they appear to be at a very narrow angle to left of the stage. If so, I'll not be a happy chap! But when am I?

James T

Tried finding that for you but no luck. I can't wait for Leeds on Friday, last night's setlist looks superb!

James T

Saw Malcolm Middleton last night, incredibly enjoyable show despite his new pop album not being entirely convincing. Band were pretty tight, did an acoustic set for an encore which was lovely as ever. Always been a big fan (love Arab Strap obviously), never disappoints live. He was almost in a good ...

James T

For 6 months. Decent manager but no one will get the time they need there.

James T

A lot of Lou Reed and Teenage Fanclub, also the first manics album this afternoon.

James T

I'm super disappointed to miss that as I'll be travelling back from the US, have been trying to get him in Manchester for a long while but couldn't make it happen unfortunately.

James T

Seen them 4 or 5 times and hosted an aftershow with them once where we DJ'd together, excellent evening and guys!

James T

They still cover Madonna thru to World Apart mostly, though this set we're seeing is just Source Tags & Codes in full. Apparently they have no plans to tour or record after that show, according to their own posts.

James T

Really enjoy this album and love hearing covers from the Luna lot, always good versions.

James T

I wanna see sigur ros but there has rarely been a show better than a trail of dead show. At Pappys? Well, it's gotta be the best.

James T

I haven't spoken to a single United fan who wants mourinho, they've been calling for attractive football for 2 years and they get him? He will win things, probably, but the attractive football and long term planning is probably out of the window for the next few years.

James T

James T

Refreshing to see a club release a manager with a bit of class eh?

James T

Wasn't too bad, about 70/80 in which is alright for Soup Kitchen. Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would!

James T

Went to see Quilt last night. Had previously seen a bit of them supporting Luna in LA and was not so impressed, but last night in Manchester they were superb. Recommend giving them a watch if they're around your city, top dream pop (I guess you'd called it that) and pretty tight live these days.

James T

Well Pellegrini told the press and the players himself, and "apparently" he wanted to get rid of the rumours. He knew all along, it was no surprise to anyone, least of all him. Also, we were not great last year, worse this year. He got out in good fashion, otherwise he would've been sacked...

James T

Played very well but the result and story of the match is the same as the season, too inconsistent and falling short when it matters. Very sad to see the lack of appreciation for Manuel at the end despite my reservations about the guy, next to no one left in the ground for the lap of honour and leav...

James T

He did say no vinyl, but vinyl is up for pre-order on Amazon.

James T

So happy for you! Not even sunk in for me, so can't imagine how you're feeling. Unbelievable. Anything can happen, but it usually won't. Such a joy to see, I was a bit teary in all honesty. Give me hope for the Champions League. How about that for a double? Wouldn't have been a bad bet... ha! Footba...

James T

Will hopefully be an incredible day for football tomorrow with Leicester securing the title. Unbelievable! I hate Vardy but other than that I couldn't be more happy for them, especially the manager and of course the fans. GOOD LUCK DR!

James T

Incredibly sad at the news, what an inspiration. The absolute peak of musical genius, I was lucky enough to see him perform twice, and PERFORM is the word alright. The circumstances also sound very tragic, getting hooked to his medication from past hip issues? Not so much real info right now so no g...

James T

Anyone can beat anyone. If anything, City were the most convincing of all 4 semi-finalists in the last round. Still, we're nowhere near as good over the course of season, but that all goes out the window at this stage.

James T

Didn't want him to start but wanted him on a little sooner towards the end of the game. Tactics were pretty much spot on for the game, I don't write off Toure though. Even when people think he plays bad, he keeps it ticking over. We're generally a worse side when he doesn't play, even now.

James T

Great performance and at last they seem to take the CL seriously enough for the fans to work up some enthusiasm. I'm delighted, I think once you get to the semis of any tournament anything can really happen in those games. I don't care who we draw now, I feel like with the occasion and the right sel...

James T

Further update from sister Travis: "It was proper awesome seeing him but the songs didn't sound right. And the bass player had the body shape of the bass player from the foo fighters. And the guitarist had the body shape of Rick Parfitt. And that's kinda what it sounded like."

James T

My sister went tonight and said Roky himself put in a great performance and seemed well and voice was great, however, she said the new band made everything sound like shitty stadium rock after reworking these incredible songs. "The most disappointing of my gig-going life". Still, my buddy ...

James T

You're certainly miles off the mark in regards to Fernandinho!

James T

I thought it was OK yeah. Really the songs were nice, but one of the key elements of Leonard's work is his delivery, so for her to sing them kind of took a lot away from them for me... It was nice enough though!

James T

And here is what I consider Chelsea Hotel #3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spObvDddISQ

James T

Shocking. We had the chances they had the goal. Should've been 2 down at half time though. Awful. Terrible. Just because I grew up watching the 2nd and 3rd divisions half the time doesn't mean I can't say this is the most disappointing season I've experienced. The main issue is that we are so much b...

James T

Sunburned Hand of the Man! Rhianna!

James T

But don't they play beautiful football...

anyway. Radiohead... Love'em!

James T

I am feeling I'll soon have to move on from my current position, sorry to hear you're being made feel that way in yours. Everyone at my work seems very pleasant and so I don't want to cause any trouble for them, but some are so poor at their own work that it makes my job very difficult and thus my w...

James T

The only album of his which I wouldn't ever really put on is Dear Heather, which for me is a wasted opportunity and sounds very poor. Ten New Songs has some lovely tracks on it! I wish he had sang Alexandra Leaving as a duet on his recent tours rather than just letting Sharon sing it alone, but he n...

James T

I'd like to discuss the great man with you all, as for me he is the best of all time. What are your favourites? Live moments? Key poems? What do you love? What do you hate? Anything? I guess I struggle to kick this off in any real fashion as general discussion around L Cohen is what I am thinking of...

James T

In that case she can come with me and Ric and I'll take that fine sofa of yours.

James T

Well, their last arena tour was like £85, and at the same time less people makes it harder to generate the costs of production (I'm sure the production won't be smaller than the arena shows, just he venue fee will be less and that is probably it).

I think it is expensive, but I can see why it is.

James T

Not sure why I didn't get it as have bought through WASTE before and was on the list at one point? Shame as I would've liked the pre-sale opportunity.

Interested to see where they go after that last album, which I hated.

James T

Enjoy the title party! Hope it goes to the last day. As impressive as it is you winning it (I think you will anyway), I wish everyone got to feel that last day dread turned to bliss.

James T

Unfortunately I can't make it this year. Poor bastard, I'll be watching Kraftwerk at the Hollywood Bowl.

James T

I think, overall, the guys from Cosmosis did a really great job of the huge jump in size from previous years. The security they were forced to use by the council/venue (they were shocking), and the drinks and food is also venue run so that is that really. Annoyed me greatly, but didn't take away fro...
