The Specials was interesting. It was like a "This is England" convention. Nice to see a few red Fred Perry's in attendance and a few STFC 70s nutjobs there - all now very respectable people, I'm sure. I'm now probably going to be a bit of a heretic but when the Specials are good, they're very good - Monkey Man and Do Nothing but theres' a fair amount of "padding". A good evening and a good venue but there were lulls.
I have to say that this set was alot bigger than two years ago....i reckon another six songs at least.

Saw arctic monkeys in cardiff last week. heard a lot of people bad mouth them live, but i thought they were very good.
Stumbled upon a band called dog is dead on friday. Was quite wankered, but they sounded like innofensive indie pop, like they had recorded a load of mystery jets b-sides.
Going to see ben marwood on friday, and then try and catch local favourite gaz brookfield and dry the river next week. Good times

Summed up nicely. I saw them in Oxford a few weeks back and they were okay.

They supported on the Bombay bicycle club tour recently and I can only 3rd the view that they were all right.

This is the water. And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

I did indeed. Home by 7.30. Only stayed that late so I could have my tea. I stopped by the academy as well to sort out getting some of the Motorhead crew into see Opeth. Lemmy of course went to a strip club instead.

Saw the Arctic Monkeys in Birmingham last Friday and was bloody impressed with them, much more so than when I saw them in Dusseldorf last year. I still dont understand why anyone would spend £4 on a pint of Stella and then chuck half of it into a crowd of people no matter how funny it is.

Saw 'My Morning Jacket' on Friday night. They put on a really good show. Support band 'The Head and the Heart' were decent also. (Kind of like a fleet foxes vibe)
Death Cab for Cutie were a little disappointing on Saturday night.
Elbow on Wednesday and then maybe Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks on Thursday if I can be arsed.
