Full report?? I'd love to catch World Party but seems like he's sticking to the states for the time being...

I like The Sadies - think I'll check this out... what's Steve Albini doing on there though? They don't initially seem like a band he'd get involved with?

Signed! One of the few venues left in London that has some character. Been to some excellent concerts there including my very first Wilco experience... Would be a great shame to lose it... where would be meet for out annual UK VCers gig???

I've not been to Edinburgh myself, but Dublin I have and, in fact, I'm off there for a wedding next week. Got to go to the Guiness factory and Jamesons brewery in Dublin and experience the Temple Bar area after dark - pubs aplenty with an amazing atmosphere and impromptu music performances... Just remember that Dublin is quite an expensive city, so save your Euros!

Oh yeah, but great to listen to loud, that's what I've found So me and pitchfork agree... oh dear, perhaps I AM wrong

The Advantage - Elf titled

Fish n chips n vinegar...

I'm never embarrassed of any music I listen to...

Micah P. Hinson and the Opera Circuit

It's really working it's way into my head... love the prog rock angle and Meloy has really excelled himself here, the songs are great and not a chimbley sweep in sight!

For the record I have a hangover the size of a small family house....

Seconded! For me, just got home... new Ben Kweller waiting for me along with the new MMJ live album... nice.

I bought new shoes at lunchtime.

Yeah, I picked up one of the earlier constantines albums the other week as well, got loads of mudhoney albums in cambridge too. Other than that though, not much in there this week...

then Picked them up for a fiver each at Fopp during me lunch hour...

Working For A Nuclear Free City: s/t Ooo... this is good... like Vanishing Point Primal Scream, Six By Seven and Chemical Brothers... with Mani's bass lines. Great stuff...

Got this through on promo this week... the artwork alone made me play it... great dirty rock n roll...

Girls Aloud I've had a shower this morning, but after watching that I think I need another one... Paris can't even begin to match their genius...

Got this for my birthday - amazing concert and I was there! Fantastic DVD; the extras are worth getting it for alone...

I don't own many jazz records, but I'd second the recommendations of Miles Davis > Kind of Blue and John Coltrane > Love Supreme. Both amazing records.

Cheers - might have to check out the prequel then!

Playing this in full again... it IS great... I agree with the Yes bits too, but I'm all for Prog-rock Those new tracks that weren't right on the first leak are great...

Not sure what to make of the remake... really enjoyed the original, thought it was a fantastic film. Did anyone see the sequels?? They made another 2 if I remember correctly.

I did the same too... though I started with "And then nothing..." Wasn't all that keen on Summer Sun myself, but put Prisoners Of Love on the other day and it is a great cross-section of their stuff.
