Seen her a few times, but she was on cracking form tonight.
Hot upcoming gigs

Saw this a couple of months ago - enjoyed it for what it was, although I felt the whole albums in full thing meant the dynamic was a bit odd for a concert.
Hooky also ripped off his shirt and threw it into the audience at the end, something a regular at his shows tells me is standard.

I think Voley also saw this show? Ikwym about the dynamic thing, although I've been to a couple of shows like that that were really great too (Idlewild doing 100 Broken Windows at the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh was fantastic). Sometimes it's interesting hearing them play the songs that don't normally get played live.Saw this a couple of months ago - enjoyed it for what it was, although I felt the whole albums in full thing meant the dynamic was a bit odd for a concert.

I loved it. Seen him do both of those albums twice now and, yes, I like getting to hear the more obscure stuff too. You wouldn't get 'I Remember Nothing' in a normal set and they played a blinding version of that. He's a surprisingly affable chap these days, Hooky. Looked like he was really enjoying himself. I think albums in full is his main thing these days - he did both Substances one time I saw him too so basically JD/NO's greatest hits, that was good, too. I'd like to see him do Low-Life some time - he toured that once.
Wow. They're really something eh.
I don't think there's anyone better
I know you'd said before.... I'm usually wary of such things but this time I completely get it. Thought you'd be there tbh.

I had to miss Sigur Ros the other night because of my dad dying. I managed to give the ticket away free to a random internet stranger. Not my biggest concern right now, but reports are that these current shows are amazing. 
Next up for me is Daniel Avery early December (if folks think of that as a gig) then BADBADNOTGOOD and that's it until next year.

I saw this. Bit in two minds about it tbh.
I’ve seen both Iggy and Debbie on the big outdoors stage and just yearned and mourned for the lost chance of seeing them in a small dark venue.
Crystal Palace bowl is good though and not too big so it’s more tempting than (for e.g.) Hyde Park.
Decius tonight. Expecting it to be late and messy. In a good way.

One small step for me
It's where the sort of people who go to gigs most live and because of that there's more venues

Not so.
If that were true no one from Camden or anywhere else is interested in seeing bands play live.
It’s just that that’s where the tide is flowing at the moment.
(If was kinda rhetorical tbh Dr. Furface)

Sometimes “every gig” is out New Cross way, or Camden, or Brixton, or even, occasionally, West London.
Once in a while it feels like every gig I go to is in Brighton or somewhere else outside London. One time I seemed to be travelling to Harlow Square every bloody week.

The tide has been flowing that way for many years now. Camden's always had lots of bars and music venues etc and the market so it's always going to be popular, even if it ain't what it used to be. But where is?

Exasperated, not angry.
Try living in Sheffield when virtually every worthwhile gig is in the Brudenell in Leeds.

I'm going to Decius too.

A few times I've travelled to Scheffield for a particular band or show (albeit combined with planning to see local friends.)
not heard of these, but the album is good.
it is paranoid london + singer of fat white family and their old producer (more or less anyway i think)
