Mornen Went to see God Speed & Sigur Ros last night, both really really good, especially Sigur Ros (damn that angelic voiced handsome Icelander, SPIT, SPIT). As for God Speed, PHEW! My only gripe, and it's a big 'un,is that Planet K is without doubt the worst venue I have ever been to see a band at. From the attitude of the staff on the door, the pre-printed "Due to a technical fault the draft pumps are not in use" - i.e. Stump up for a bottle sucker!, the fact that I was charged £10.20 for two bottles of Stella and a diet coke. All this combined with the floor sloping back down from the stage, a narrowness that would have prevented Twiggy from getting anywhere the front and I'm sure they had the heating on full wack! Suffice to say, I would rather have spent a bit more and travelled to a another date on the tour. Sorry about moan, but if it's any consolation I feel much better now. Back to lurking........ Before I go, am I the only one who didn't think the book "High Fidelity" was much cop? (BARRAGE OF YESS!) It's a few years since I read it but I don't remember it that fondly. Everyone I've lent the book to since has loved it. To me it just seems such a diluted and tame idea of "laddism" that Nick Hornby aspires to. It's responsible for everyone from Chris Evans to Zoe Ball anally "Top Fiving" everything. The big plot development, toward the end of the book (which I won't reveal for those who have yet to read it), which supposedly explains away the characters lack of ability to commit is soooo LAME! It is built up to arrive as a live changing revelation whereas it arrives with a dull thud. I could go on but I fear I may alienate myself even more than I already have.
