I was disappointed enough to turn the sound down and listen to next door's car alarm mad instead. All a bit bland last night.

 

[Dubversion]

Grinderman - bland?

weirdo

 

[Sunspots]

*bump*

Tonight, it's...

Patti Smith
Cold War Kids
Joe Cocker
The Cribs
Simply Red

-I think I'll give it a miss this week.

 

[Dubversion]

yeh, Smith aside it's not promising

 

[colacubes]

Fuck me - just got in a bit pissed and the last thing I want to see is Mick fucking Hucknall

 

[clandestino]

i saw patti smith at the roundhouse last night and she was incredible. her opening song on this tonight was hardly recognisible as the same person. her covers last night were total reinventions, fiery, unhinged, just brilliant. and that 'gimme shelter' was plod, plod, plod. very strange. please don't judge her by it.

my god, the rest of the line up is turgid isn't it.

 

[colacubes]

and that 'gimme shelter' was plod, plod, plod. very strange. please don't judge her by it.

Normally Gimme Shelter has me in tears cos it was one of my Dad's favourite songs and was played at his funeral. But that version couldn't have left me more cold. Really, really average

Quite liking the Kate Nash song but her accent is rather annoying (just sounds a bit too much like she's putting it on).

 

[clandestino]

there is something stage school about her, but i quite liked the song too.

 

[Sunspots]

-Ahhh, Gloria... I appear to have tuned in at just the right moment.

 

[Dubversion]

i settled for C4 with Transmission - Dizzee's on form

 

[colacubes]

-Ahhh, Gloria... I appear to have tuned in at just the right moment.

She's definitely making up for the earlier shodiness

Marvellous Patti on 2, Lovely Shaun Ryder doing a Mother Theresa impression on 4. I'm in heaven

Shaun's hoodie, earlier

 

[Dubversion]

aw, shaun's a shambles now though, it's depressing to see

 

[moose]

You think? I thought he was a lot more together than I've seen him for a while.

 

[Dubversion]

yeh, i spose. it's all relative.

 

[Sunspots]

I heard Shaun Ryder interviewed on the radio yesterday, and I thought he seemed more together than he has been for ages. Hard to tell for sure though, tbh.

Tonight...

The Who
Kaiser Chiefs
The White Stripes
Silversun Pickups
Pink Martini
Anjani
James Hunter

Apart from The White Stripes, none of that tickles my fancy at all.

 

[Dubversion]

James Hunter's pretty good..

 

[Sunspots]

James Hunter's pretty good..

Both you and Van seem to rate him, but I've got to admit he's news to me.

If I bother watching, I'll look out for him...

 

[Dubversion]

he used to be Howling Wilf..

 

[Sunspots]

he used to be Howling Wilf..

Ahh....

<...penny drops...>

 

[sojourner]

Thought the White Stripes were great Icky Thump is a grower, but wasn't too impressed with Effect and Cause. And I was rather indignant when JH poked his neb in on Doorbell, although I was intrigued by the new pedal effects Jack brought to it

Loved James Hunter, HATED Pink Martini, Anjani (sp?) was oook, and the Kaiser Chiefs were...well...they were the Kaiser Chiefs...harmless, technical pop songs

 

[Sunspots]

Icky Thump sounded great live. Like you say, wasn't too bothered by Effect & Cause.

I think I switched off after that.

This week (8th June)...

Bjork

-plus the usual tosh:

Macca
The Editors
Ben Westbeech
Adele

 

[teqniq]

Yup, saw above show Bjork was pretty good but what I found especially intriguing was the reactable.
Had to hunt around by the way to find out what on earth it was.

I want one!
