Psycho Hamster vs The Killer Doughnuts, Dawlish Civic Centre last night.

I made a fool of myself when I threw a bottle of piss at them.

Not a gig goer, but I saw Black Flag back in the 80s. Henry Rollins didn't stick around for long when me and Ernie showed up. Fucking wuss. :grrr:

Fleet Foxes at Wolverhampton a couple of months ago. I wasn't that fussed about seeing them but a mate got me a ticket and they were really terrific.

A Bowie tribute act called Camp David in the back room at the local last night. Pretty shit but it got me away from the wife.

Our local pub band are called The Fallen!

They specialise in Oasis and Status Quo covers and are utter wank. :angry:

Since Oasis and Status Quo are utter wank that's hardly fucking surprising, is it? :rolleyes:

We'll have no more of this Greasy Roads. You may think it's hilarious but I'm sure that to Oasis and Status Quo it would just seem nasty.

Greasy Roads warned for mentioning Oasis.

I went to see Moon Trio recently. The ticket said Moon Duo, but there were definitely three of them on stage, a pair of slackers and their drummer on wages who did all the heavy lifting.

The wife's been diagnosed with arse grapes, but the NHS who have been brilliant over this say it can wait a few weeks.

Excellent news then, it means I'll be able to go and see The Haemorrhoids at the Brixham Academy on Saturday night.

So that's where you fucked off to, you conniving little cunt. :angry:

Here's me stuck at home after my stay in hospital, recovering from my terrible illness and in need of a man to look after me, and you're out at gigs, no doubt with my benefit money. You fucking disgust me and I bet you are gay given your recent "performances" in the sack. :grrr:

Dan Stuart and Sid Griffin with Tom Leymann at the Hen & Chicken Bristol last night. Peter de Meat Eater wasn't there but hopefully I'll catch up with him at the cricket this year. This was a continuous acoustic show which started out with all three followed by a solo set from Tom, ending with his version of Vigilante Man on slide. Like the other two, he's a great raconteur. After that we had Sid Griffin for half an hour accompanying himself on Mandolin and guitar. Tom then played with Dan Stuart during a number of his more recent solo songs. He was a boy the last time I saw him but now he's older but no wiser which is the way it should be. It was good to hear what he's been doing for the last 25 years. Finally all three of them played Green On Red unplugged including an unhinged Zombie For Love and Hair Of The Dog. Dan said he wasn't a fan of the band but he sure looked happy playing the songs. Catch them if you can, they're great.

I'll be attending the Winchester show tomorrow night, it's a long way for me to go but even further away from that cunt Greasy Roads who will be on Teesside having his wheels removed.

k.d. lang @ The Forum, Bath, on Weds. 17th July.

I was introduced to k.d. lang by Danny Baker playing 'Constant Craving' on his 'Morning Edition' show on the original Radio 5.

Off the strength of that I bought the album 'Ingenue' which is a classic.

How surprised I was to discover she'd released 4 previous albums, all of which were pure Country - and I bloody loved them!

On Weds. she performed 'Ingenue' in it's entirety. It was far less 'lush' than the recorded version and the better for it.

She also did a medley of songs by her fellow Canadians; Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Leonard Cohen, plus some more of her own material. Unfortunately, however, nothing from those first 4 albums.

A couple of her songs could be loosely described as 'Western Swing', but leaning more towards the 'Swing'.

Don't get me wrong though, I still thoroughly enjoyed the show and I still believe (as I did when first hearing 'Constant Craving') that she has the voice of an angel .

I'll get my Country fix when I see Lucinda Williams on July 28th!

I'm so pissed off to be missing Lucinda Williams.
