Florence would do a screech, not a wail. Listened to some ropey iphone recordings on YouTube and Mary J sounded great. It would be a great shame if her voice is starting to go. She put Bono back in his box so she has scored many points with me. Not convinced about Florence but hope I'm wrong.

Did D_C really just "lady" this thread??


Saw Dan Mangan at the Scala last night. In spite of a rather off-putting recent comparison to Mumford & Sons, he was immense: made me cry, made me laugh, conducted the sudience singing "robots" as well as backing vocals on another tune. A perfect night. A steal at a tenner.


I love him. I do. I want to cuddle him.

Kraftwerk are performing their back catalogue at The Tate over 8 nights, a different album per performance.

It's not possible to buy tickets for every performance - decisions, decisions...

Stones were beyond brilliant Otta. There is a reason why even at those prices every single ticket was sold. As far as rock bands go they're as good as it gets as far as I'm concerned. Didn't hurt that we were in the tiny mosh pit in front of the stage. A very sedate mosh pit; only about 200 of us in there and completely surrounded by a walk-way so the views were incredible and because I couldn't actually see over the top of the said walk-way it felt like they were playing a really intimate gig, even though it was the O2.


Low point of the evening was indeed Florence strangling Gimme Shelter. Punching above her weight and couldn't hack it. Lisa Fisher (Goddess) was robbed! Dulwich got a shout-out though. When she walked off Mick said "there goes Florence from Dulwich, not far from where we started out".


Highlight of the evening was Mick Taylor playing Midnight Rambler; didn't see that coming. Pure genius. Got to see Mick Taylor again soon.


Definitely lived up to all the hype. Five star gig.

Really don't understand how any of you out there can like rock stars that have been around for 25 years (Stone Roses) or worse still 50 years (Stones). Music is stale and has long since been cutting edge. Kunt and the Gang (for the name) and 12 Bar Club (as it is an excellent venue) sounds far more interesting.


I've been to a few reunions and always think WTF did I spend the money, even when I have cut price tickets through ebay.


Of course there are exceptions - Morrisey (although please don't do the Smiths numbers) and I saw the Chameleons when they reformed in 2000, but was rather pissed which helped. And Young Marble Giants at Dingwalls in a couple of weeks time. Still sound fresh 30 years on.


Other groups to hate - Manic Street Preachers, one good album, U2 (quite good in 1980) and even Pulp - why ruin the memories of the summer of Britpop - 95?


Hopefully the Stones will do a repeat of the famous Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood in 1989. Actually no, I hope not as that was actually entertaining.

    • Indeed ianr, I didn't have time to include all Royal Mail options, thanks for that extra bit, they have been spot on for me, I use them a lot and have never had any issues with delivery, touch wood!
    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.
