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.

      Fireworks

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!

      Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
