got my ticket confirmation today after a dodgy 24 hour wait - the usual crowd of us all going

u2 are always rumoured for glasto

got green day and muse looming in next 2 months but am most looking forward to seeing the revamped Alice in Chains - not seen em since 1990!

by the way, the Pavement for Glasto campaign starts here

Saw them at the Ice Area a few years back, good night, shame the latest album is a big steaming pile of pants.

I'm sorely tempted to be there a month after you for Motorhead & The Damned.

I'll be there, took us ages to get them booked but we got our confirmation yesterday. Can't wait.

Indeed. I get the feeling its going to be one of those gigs were the wife and I decide to get trollied instead of watching the band. (actually i'll get trollied and she'll keep in the queue at the bar)

Glad I'm not the only one to think they're past it.

Saw them supporting Morrissey at the MEN in 04 and they were really good. Then they became media darlings and Kapranos started writing columns of pretentious arty in the Grauniad that were shoo ins for Pseud's Corner. I gave up shortly after.

I didnt understand half the words you used there!

The Boxer Rebellion, The Molotovs and Alvin Purple were all excellent at the Faversham in Leeds last nite.

Other gigs I've got lined up over the next few weeks:

Damien Jurado @ Brudenell Social Club
Girls @ Brudenell Social Club
A @ The Cockpit
Wilco @ The Academy
Ian McNabb @ Korks Wine Bar (Otley)

Very tempting isn't it?

Oh Yes,

Seen the Damned a couple of times, most memorably at a pub with maybe 200 people and a stage barely big enough to fit the band on. Motorhead are one of the bands I've always promised myself I'll go and see one day.

Anyone ever been to the Little num num club in York?
It has some fantastic acoustic nights, just Google the above name.
It's an old church; very basic, no frills with a can bar, but some great artists on show and usually on the 1st Saturday of the month.
