Spiritualized

MH, was that guy who got up on stage the same dude who was pogo-ing for ages? Apart from his head I'd say his calves were killing him this morning...Was he just drunk or was he on something else?

I resisted going out for a ciggie break cos unfortunately it would only have been just a ciggie...

I enjoyed the gig and always think they are value for money but I have never liked his re-workings of S3 songs. Lord Can You Hear Me is a travesty, as it was on LICD. Totally overdone and loses everything without the minimal sound of the original. Same with So Hot (Wash Away All Of My Tears) on Pure...

Highlights for me were Let It Flow and Take Your Time.

Sound is good at this venue, that's when I could hear it over the tw-ats talking non-stop near the bar, why do they bother coming if they're gonna talk right through it.

Ticket in the bag, total €25 which I'm pretty happy about, especially as I'm over to Manchester to see MBV a month later. I think the last time I saw them in Dublin the price was very reasonable too. With regard to 'refreshments' there's plenty of places to partake around the venue, just keep your...

This is super... http://sendmedeadflowers.com/2008/02/velve...-gymnasium.html It's the ONLY available live stuff from 1967 and has only become available in literally the last two days. Recorded just after the release of The Velvet Underground And Nico and featuring the debut performance of Sister Ra...

I have very little interest in it really. It just seems like an opportunity for a thug-fest every year. I know both sides were guilty but some of the assaults by the Aussies bordered on ABH. From the reaction in Ireland I'd say that's the end of it, nobody has an appetite for that level of violence ...

one of the Aussies got sent home today for punching a Galway Barman...

I've been listening to Comes a Time a lot too at the moment while decorating my house, crackin LP...

Afterwards he said he was gonna do another 'Sonic Souvenirs' type remix of the new Dean Wareham & Britta Phillips record...

Don't wanna bore people on this one... Fully concur with Sly Saxon about the geographical term of the British Isles including Ireland. Broc wrote: Different race... Sly Saxon wrote: hmmm... no 'they' aren't. I'd disagree about that, while they were both originally Celtic (which themselves came from ...

...and i sincerely hope he doesn't make another mess of a Spacemen 3 song... which spacemen 3 songs has he made a mess off so far? IMO 'So hot, wash away all of my tears' was way way too overblown, much preferred the more intense and stripped down sound on PWF....'Lord Can you hear me?' is a bit be...

I couldn't split them to be honest, probably my favoutite S3 album of all of them and also I think Jason's best work of all. No Spiritualized album tops his work on Recurring IMO.

i think he's been covering the same ground since Ladies and Gentlemen (well lyrically anyway)...and i sincerely hope he doesn't make another mess of a Spacemen 3 song...

I think the 'Fear Yourself' LP by Daniel Johnston with Mark Linkous is great...I've seen Spaklehorse three times and think they're great....though their shows are always way too short...reduce the entrance fee is you're gonna play for an hour me thinks...

Yeah the artwork for Zuma is great, think it depicts a myth about the fall of the Aztec Empire....interestingly it's the same guy who did the artwork for the cover of Greendale...

[quote="a beautiful noise. speaking of, monday night i saw a great show on PBS called "chaos and creation". it was paul in abbey road studios with about 100 or so lucky fans. he basically did snippets of the beatles back catalog and for obvious reasons played tracks of his new album. ...

And the Dead Man soundtrack is excellent, works really really well with one of Jim Jarmusch's best films...

while i think there are some good songs on Mirrorball, I just wish he didn't record it with Pearl Jam..

my NY top 6 (in no particular order): Tonight's the Night Zuma Everybody knows this is Nowhere Rust never sleeps Freedom On the Beach (those 6 could change on any day...) Also, the Greendale film is a masterpiece and the Dublin show in Vicar St that came as a DVD with the Greendale CD was one of his...
