Where are you going tonight?

Anne Hathaway was Shakespeare's squeeze?!

She's looking good for her age.
And yes BP, of course.

As would I. She's lovely. I'm even willing to forgive the Yorkshire accent in that pile of shit 'One Day'.

Good man. I knew you wouldn't let the side down!

Philip Glass Ensemble at the Bridgewater Hall tonight. Can not wait for some sprawling minimalist vibes.

If you're at a loose end I recommend a gig at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester. An excellent band called Trans Am are playing. Go dig.

Love the Bridgewater. Most incredible acoustics I've ever heard.

I remember watching something after it'd first opened. They dropped a pin onto the stage to see if it'd register on a piece of sound measuring equipment at the back of the Gods, and it did. The place is as ugly as a dog's ringpiece and ballbag, like, but those acoustics really must be quite something.

A week later than I thought (:oops:) Counting Crows wooo!

First gig on my own, not sure what to do!

It's perfection in functionality make it beautiful.

I was up in the nosebleeds last night and it was duly incredible. So, so good. An overt display of capability and imagination. Utterly spellbinding! Loved it!

Last time I went to a gig alone. I went, I watched the band, then I went home. Was ace.

I'm wondering more what he thought of the band. Have been to three gigs on my own. The first one, The Charlatans, were absolute shite and it left me wondering how much of the whole miserable experience was down to me being alone.

I saw Mansun at the Academy on my lonesome back in the day and Queens of the Stone Age at the Apollo in 2003. Had a sweet time at both! Now I'm older and grumpier I'm not sure I'd enjoy it as much!

Well, you're neither as old nor as grumpy as me, and within the last two years I've been blown away by both I Am Kloot and Manchester Orchestra whose gigs I've attended by myself. The Mansun gig at The Academy, was that when they'd just released Six? I was at that one if so (with like, just, totally hundreds of mates )

[Dr Hotdog]

It would have been around the time of Little Kix - the one and only time I saw them, sadly. They opened with Take it Easy Chicken and I bolted straight for the front! The Mcr Academy website has confirmed it as Nov 1, 2000.

I care not to look back through those annals too deeply for fear of upsetting myself at all the gigs I missed - of which there are too many to mention.

My mother didn't let me attend Foo Fighters at the Academy in November '99 because it was during my Mock GSCE exams. feck* sake Mum!!!!!!!!!

It was a weird one. As I think you'd warned they did a lot of stuff off the new album that I haven't got round to getting yet. Very few oldies at all, so meant I didn't know most of the set. They're a fecking ace band, and his voice is incredible, but not being able to get into every song in the same way, added to being on my own, meant I spent a lot of time getting pissed-off at pricks with camera phones. For like a good 2 hours.

I felt a bit annoyed at myself because it's a lot of cash to go see them and I should have listened to the album a few times first. Still enjoyable, mind. Reckon it'd be a different experience going on my own to see an album tour of an album I loved. Then went for a pint after coz it felt weird not to, and got chatting to some guys who'd been. So had the after-experience as if I hadn't gone alone!

Absolute nobs. By all means, take a pic, but holding it up in front of people's faces to video the gig is pathetic, selfish and annoying.
Watched The Wildhearts at The Academy last year and Ginger made of point of suggesting that audience members snatch the phones away and launch them across the room. Good lad.

Liverpool Echo tonight to see James. Our lasses first ever gig.

[Bijou Bob]

Cara Dillon tomorrow night at The Royal Northern College of Music. Anyone been? I'm hoping it's a cosy, intimate sort of venue.
