Only one part left to do, and the infernal list is finished for another year. I know why everyone else does theirs in committees now. Anyway, before I get things wrapped up and back to normal, I want to mention a few other related comings and (sadly) goings that made 2012 special for me. It’s [...]

This Top 3 has changed so many times, it’s unbelievable. All interchangeable and all for different reasons, I think I’ve finally settled on an order that I can look at and go “yup, that’ll do”. Or I could change it all again in a hissy fit. Anyway, I’ve surprised myself a bit with having this [...]
To be honest, I wasn’t going to bother doing anything on this show as I’ve done enough of these already this year! The plan was to chill out, hang out with friends who I’d not seen for a while (one of whom was celebrating her birthday) and just soak in the show without having to [...]
Weeks off work tend to be the busiest times, don’t they? After an unexpectedly long walk home from being dumped in slightly the wrong county after Sunday’s Afghan Whigs show, I find myself off down the M6 to a city I’ve been through before but never actually to, in order to see Mark Lanegan [...]
I’m writing this in a bit of a mood, to be honest. I was flattened by a migraine yesterday so missed the first of two shows at Jodrell Bank (last year’s show with the Flaming Lips was a stunner), and overnight we had a month’s worth of rain in one go, so tonight’s gig with [...]
This isn’t going to be an especially long or particularly serious review, as to be honest I’ve already done 3 of those this week, this show was spent mostly in the company of friends I don’t get to see anywhere near as much as I’d like to, I was feeling a bit ropey and I [...]
Argh – I didn’t know that the M6 was going to be shut last night! After being given the grand tour of the entire West Midlands at night, I finally rolled in at 02:40 this morning after setting off on a 90-minute journey at 22:45. So I wasn’t really in the mood for typing anything [...]
I have spent all day checking my pocket. I have been doing this because all day it has had a ticket for tonight’s show in it and I have been paranoid all day about turning up at the door of the Student Union and producing either a ticket for a different city or – worse [...]
The spate of idea necromancy continues apace, although at least the last time I did one of these was only back in October/November, when I did a whole four in a row before forgetting to do any more. May as well start to get in the habit again (and, as penance, expand the list from [...]
It’s amazing how the music industry moves on nowadays; careers tend to be a bit more slow-burning than meteoric in these less-stellar times . Blues Funeral marks the solo return of an artist whose last singularly-released album was in 2004. Eight years ago. To put this into some light-hearted perspective: The Beatles played their last [...]
