Probably should clarify that the post isn’t a dig at the poor guy having Parkinson’s but more about Sharon.

Have a great time Chris, haven't seen Mogwai for years, awesome live
Nice. Saw them on the last tour - just incredible sound
It’s had a few mixed reviews but I’m loving the new album . They are def leaning into the synth / shoegaze vibe a little more. A couple of tracks wouldn’t sound out of place on Slowdives recent album.
I think the pic is suggesting that Sharon doesnt think Ozzy will last too long (certainly sounded that way when she explained all the places they were planning to visit when he is over for the gig).
Personally I still think the ticket price was OTT. I know some think its a perfectly acceptable price - and I guess thats whats important... But a lot of justification seems to be "well this other band here charges £150 (or whatever) a show" and that makes it ok - I disagree, it just means there's more than one charging too much,
Maybe it isn't down to the band - but the band could push back - don't matter how important the promoter or whoever came up with that price think they are- if the band says no then there's no show.
(Mind you likely Sharon has a hand in all too
)
I did 1/2 heartedly join the virtual ticket queue - but I wasn't especially huffed when I didn't get anywhere. I like maybe 1/2 the bands on the bill - which means around £100 per band - I don't think I like any of them enough to to pay that, (Especially since they will surely be playing reasonably short sets .. 30-40 mins maybe ?

(I'm talking really about the golden circle tickets here . The 400+ ones. But then I've always hated the whole pay to be near the front concept. Certainly the majority of gigs I go to, if you can get to the front under your own steam as it were you probably shouldn't be there...

At the other end of the gig spectrum I’m doing my bit for small venues / bands and heading down the legendary Prince Albert in Brighton tonight for some harmonica fuelled garage rock riffage from Finland - seen these young guys before and they are a riot on stage , looking like they are enjoying every minute of living the rock n roll dream
And all for the princely sum of £8 . I’ll buy a t shirt too probably

For the love of God can bands stop announcing gigs. I think I’ve booked 20 over the last couple of weeks 
. November looks like it’s going to be more than a touch on the draining side.
Finally going to tick Neil Young off my bucket list in July.

On the plus side I’m loving the gig countdown app someone recommend a few months back

Ah man the sound track to my misspent youth. Would love to see them

Mary Wallopers tonight at Liverpool
Nice !
They were on the bill of one of my greatest gigs - My Bloody Valentine / Mercury Rev / The God Machine
Cambridge Corn Exchsnge , Dec 1990 iircThis was of course wild , noisy early Rev with original ( unhinged) singer David Baker on vocal duties. Just brilliant . All 3 bands were operating at full throttle , I think my ears never really recovered.
I’ll always like Mercury Rev but those first 3 albums and the EPs were something else , nothing sounded like them then or now

SLF annual Barrowlands gig was grand as ever. No pics - I had my phone wedged in my pocket with a tshirt and didnt want to risk trying to get it out - its a somewhat boisterous affair at the front of the annual St Patricks gig
Setting the controls for Bristol tomorrow for J Spaceman Pure Phase show on Saturday
Been a constant soundtrack in my life since the Spacemen 3 days . So this is a special one. Seen him loads but won’t have heard many of these tracks live since late 90s.
Reviews this week been brilliant.
Good choicesOn the plus side I’m loving the gig countdown app someone recommend a few months back
Exploited were on top form last night.
Couple of 'bouncers' decided they needed to stand in the most pit because the crowd was a little rowdy (at a punk gig, imagine that!).
He soon gave up
Punks not dead!
Phil Campbell and the ******* Sons tonight..
