Got some iTunes vouchers for Christmas. Picked up the following:

DZ Deathreays - DZ Deathrays Ruined My Life
O'Brother - Garden Window
Protest The Hero - Scurrlious
Zeke - Kicked in the Teeth
Zeke - Dirty Sanchez
Every Time I Die - New Junk Aesthetic

Every single record is fantastic in it's own little way.

Finally, the Brit Award nominations are a joke. Bon Iver nominated for 'Best International Male'. Last time I checked, they were a band?! Idiots.

Hopefully a few UK dates will pop up for the summer. No doubt they'll be at a few festivals this year.

Not to punk to go for one final pay day are you

Balls to that!

I want to be down the front for New Noise and One Armed Scissor at one point

It seems Kevin Tihista is finally making a return after what must be 3 years away. I hope he can keep up his standards.

Just discovered Drive By Truckers.............wow!!! These guys are

and

and

Proper in love with Every Time I Die at the minute. Their new record is going to be super!

Tubelord at the Brudenell tonight.

Lostprophets tour annouced for April - fanclub presale starts today. Minnions like myself will be able to purchase tickets on Friday

I used to absolutely love them when I was younger, but felt they kind of lost their edge after the debut album.

I remember seeing them play at a gig about 10 years ago and it was pretty crazy in the crowd. I ended up getting something like heat exhaustion and temporarily lost my vision for about 5 minutes. Was pretty scary, had to manoeuvre my way through the crowd without actually being able to see anything so that I could find a wall to lean against and cool/calm myself down.

Crikey



LP are on my list of "I want to see once" bands - every other time they have toured I have either havent managed to get tickets or the dates have been unsuitable

Saw LP at Doncaster Dome in 2006 and enjoyed them but haven't really been overly impressed with subsequent output to consider bothering again.

If they played 'The Fake Sound Of Progress' in it's entirety I would be all over this tour. Sadly, they are a boy band nowadays.

Lostprophets have always been naff live. Add to that they are too busy checking their hair out, they just aren't worth it.

They are almost as big of a let down as Finch at the first Give it a Name.

Lostprophets were truly awesome on the tailend of the start something tour, just after coming back from US successfully, all down hill from there

Rediscovered 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' this weekend. Seminal work.

Just bought 'El Camino' by The Black Keys, absolutely fantastic album!

The line up for this years Live at Leeds has been announced (my must sees in bold)

Adult Jazz + Alt-J + AlunaGeorge + Anothers Blood + Binary + Blacklisters + Charli XCX + Citizens! + Dan Mangan + Dot Rotten + Fanzine + Friends + Grass House + Gross Magic + Hannah Trigwell + Holy State + Howler + Hunting Bears + iLiKETRAiNS + Jake Bugg + Jamie N Commons + Jessie Ware + Joseph and David + Just Handshakes + Ladyhawke + Los Campesinos! + Marina and the Diamonds+ Moody Gowns + Niki and The Dove + Novella + Random Pulse + Redwire + Ren Harvieu + Reverend and The Makers + Royal Republic + S.C.U.M + Sam Airey + Spector + The History Of Apple Pie + The Subways + This Many Boyfriends+ TOY + Turbowolf

Band I manage go on their first tour next week. If you can make a show, come say hello!

Nothing decent from this country in years.
