Post up the last gig you went to. I went to Frank Turner in Bristol at the weekend. Absolutely brilliant - I love his stuff on record and live its even better. Check it out if you can. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB4Avdlz3lkHowever, the gig, as all gigs I have been to recently, was marred by idiots recording everything on their mobiles. Taking photos, selfies (is there a bigger 'twat' thing around at the moment than a selfie), posting to facebook etc whilst in the gig. I took a photo (just as a test) and got this: goo.gl/photos/BuMai5YDHGzRAgGh9So, all those people missing the gig, missing the moment, to get photos that you probably won't even look at once. Twats. And, yes, I am a grumpy old git.

God I don't think I've been to a gig in about 10 years. Pre selfie fever. Would have been metal though, so not advisable to hold a phone in there!

The Men They Couldn't Hang. I think it was about 20 years ago.

Nick Harper in Portsmouth last year. Robyn Hitchcock the year before that. I do seem to have a penchant for men with acoustic guitars...

Just went to see Simple Minds and The Stranglers at Leeds last Friday. I'm a big Stranglers fan and I've seen them loads of times. It's the first time I've seen Simple Minds. I quite like their music but they do go on a bit live. They just have to turn every song into a 12" mega mix. Piss water beer was over £4 a pint too. I'd just got back from Budapest where a pint of Soproni was about 380 forints. Robbing bastards.

I saw Simple Minds long before they made it big, when they were trying to be Magazine. Supporting someone, they were. Might have been Devo.
That's when I could buy three pints for less than 443 forints.

Still got loads of my old vinyls, they'd be worth a fortune if they want scratched to fuck.
Can one of you nerds tell me how to embed a youtube video?. I've done it once but I can't remember how.
