A couple of tickets to tonight's Pixies gig in Brixton have inadvertently come into a friend's possession. I wouldn't have sought them out, but now the opportunity is upon me..


Is going to see one of, like, your favourite bands evuuuuurr - nearly fifteen years after they broke up - invariably a bad idea?



NB: Pixies-haters (otherwise known as 'imbeciles', or 'Keef') - can answer the same question but try to imagine some other band in their place whose lead singer sings in tune (yawn) or has a really amazing vocal range or whatever.

What Jeremy said. Go. You might regret it if you don't.


I'm going to see Echo & The Bunnymen next week at The Roundhouse purely for the fact that I've not seen them before and I like quite a few of their records. I don't think they get quite the same amount of devoted adulation from their fans as the Pixies though - probably because Ian McCullough is a bit of a knob.

That he is. Thanks to a generous donation of tickets. I think I've been harsh saying I hate them, in fact I'm not sure I ever did. Basically I was never in to them, and couldn't have named many of their tunes. From what I have heard, I still stand by my comment that they weren't this amazing special genius band that some make them out to be. Neither were Guns N Roses before anyone says it, but Slash is still my favourite guitarist!

Blimey nicest thing Keef has ever said about the pixies.

I'd say go, sod it at best it'll be a great blast from the past, at worst it'll be no worse than you feared it might.


Plus you get to have a beer with Brendan, just don't let him steer you towardsthe strong cider, down that path danger lies.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
