Well it seemed a logical progression...
eh, right...
Future Islands- The Workman's Club, Dublin, 20/10/10
No other word other than WOW can describe this.
As good as Daft Punk- Bercy 2007? I think so!

Though... Pnau have yet to visit and that could be another magnificent beautiful thing.
John Mayer in Glasgow in January. Amazing.
Gorillaz the other week at the O2..it was epic!
Florence and the Machine - Olympia
Rage Against The Machine - o2
after last year's Slane debacle it's been a good year for gigs for me, with Arcade Fire and Two Door Cinema Club still to come
Chromeo in Tripod - November 4th. I'm guessing very few of you have heard of this band, check them out. Played a fantastic gig.
It's gonna be BRMC for me (next week) at Rock ****ty. Quality live band.
I saw Metallica and Motorhead in Madrid back in June.
I missed the start of Motorhead's set but they were great in what I saw. High point came at the end when Lemmy said "Thank you, London!" to the crowd. :D
Metallica were amazing, I was blown away. Second best concert I've ever been to. Although, Lars comes across as insincere when speaking to the crowd.
Ha, Lars is so humble normally.
Completely forgot about Mother Mother in The Windmill, Brixton in May.
Amazing.
Last time I saw Chromeo, I was pregnant for a week...Quote:

I still have the reformed Godspeed You! Black Emporor and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion ('BLOOOOZE EXPLOSION!) to come so time for it to change yet. GY!BE should be fantastic.
Gruff Rhys in Galway a couple of weeks ago was excellent.
heh i saw them here at the roxy once, s. malkmus chastised the frat boys(!) in the crowd for booing the openers u.s. maple, good times!Quote:

I've been to feck all gigs this year but have high hopes for Arcade Fire, which I'll be at on Dec 5th.
I've got a few Silver Mt.Zion things though not their most recent output I must check it out - you're right by the way, Efrim Menuck (GY!BE main man) is heavily involved in Silver Mt.Zion.Quote:

Back to the original line up, nuts to think that Jaz Coleman writes symphonies and national anthems as well!
Garth Brooks in Las Vegas...Yes, I did say Garth Brooks :)
Was it the real Garth or a Garth impersonator?Quote:

Arcade Fire with Vampire Weekend and Devendra Banheart were brilliant on Monday :)
equally brilliant on Sunday!
Belle & Sebastian on Friday in the Grand Canal Theatre were superb. As were Teenage Fanclub in the Academy in the Summer.
Not two door cinema club anyway. They were great but only played for just under an hour. RIP OFF.
