I went to my second gig of the year a few weeks ago, DJ Shadow. A friend invited me along to Edinburgh Psychfest in Sep so planning to go to that. Three gigs in one year, crazy.
Actually maybe four as thinking about going to see Black Angels in October. Was surprised to find out I quite like the Dandy Warhols who they are co-headlining with. In my head they were filed as indie pop dross and were from Britain but I was wrong.
The sound was great at DJ Shadow, as it was for Underworld earlier in the year. Shit sound at gigs has made me wary of bothering with live music.
Spent 5 minutes cursing how shite the payment was before I noticed that it was my former employer.
Got 3DSv2 checked. That’s my fecking code, a team of one amidst your radioactive dumpster fire from 2000
Still no actual ticket, their provider is a guy in a cupboard who last time was all like “bro, yeah, you’ve paid, but my thing that’s like MS Access and a packet of biscuits didn’t do the thing”.
It was bloody superb last year. So an immoderate amount of strong ale is packed, scratchings from our local butcher are being crisped-up in the oven, the forecast is great, and I’ve got a nice strong folding chair to get comatose in… Bliss!
