SPARKS

And I must say, I'd never heard The Young Knives before, but I do believe they're quite overrated.

When did they play? I thought they pulled out of Woofer as Rod Thompson did a second set?

I love his blog. There's enough of a disconnection from the band/ music to have a nice objective viewpoint. And I'm amused at his description of the ultimate encore vote as 'a pissing contest'. Hah ...

still deciding on songs but my favourite moment - the audience shouting 'Oooooh! Let's do it!' at the beginning of Biology 2

I was just thinking about that today, and it brought a big grin to my f ...

Magnificent.

My choice goes to My Baby's Taking Me Home.

Indescribably good. I was almost in tears at how wonderful it was.

Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip by a long long way.

Slightly off topic, but talking about Friday's show, everybody attending is aware that Central Line trains currently do not stop at Shepherd's Bush? Good good. Carry on.

Yup. B ...

How were the Electric Soft Parade? I've been meaning to see them since about 2001, and have never managed it. I was only down the road and contemplated rushing over to see five minutes of them befor ...

AFAIK there have been no brawls

It kicked off once at Kimono, and once at Woofer (I think), but it was just little scuffles and the bouncer sorted them out.

I would point anyone who thinks ...

The only two I've seen who have are Phillipe Tasquin (Indiscreet, who did This Town Ain't Big Enough) and Moustached Widow (Lil Beethoven, who did I Married Myself). Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip name ...

..Ron is as much of a star as Russell (who said very little during the set). He's not just the deadpan keyboard player, but a key stage element, and a very very funny physical comedian (I very much d ...

Do you mean the Public Enemy album over the PA (which was Ron's choice)?

Or the wonder that is Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip?

In both cases, I'd say that I'll take PE over Charles Aznavour any day ...

(not least some pillock near me who’d had too much to drink and got in everyone’s way, then spilt beer all over my trousers).

I think that "pillock" might have been me sorry Mr Noisyboy. ...
