Tour: My Bloody Valentine

[Posh]

I'm going tonight. I look forward to the agony and the ecstacy but I can't help but imagine my ears are slightly more used to crazy loud volume than some of the folk in this thread

I spoke to someone after the gig last night who didn't even mention the noise, but then I remembered they go to gigs by extreme noise bands all the fucking time...

You are listening to music in the wrong order.

I've just been told to 'wear a light-coloured shirt and drink lots of water'.

WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I'M HEADING INTO A WARZONE?

[monkey star]

Or a rave.

[Posh]

Aye. I'm gonna double drop and then write my review on a broadband phone outside the Barras.

Moan about them not cranking it up enough.

[Posh]

Moan about not being able to hear it for people talking all around me.

Oh, no, wait, that was Radiohead.

Dresden Doll(s)

wow! is it legal to go that loud??? the bastards stripped searched me as well before i went in and i was like do i look like i'm on drugs yet and they must've thought nah you look like captain sensible hand over the earplugs.

i love the way they started with their anthems and the girl singer who plays the guitar, don't know her name but she's in my phone book for the deaf. she was so cool, her casual stare into the distance i know was deep inside the song but it also looked deep inside my err mind. i didn't get to see much of the other girl in the middle cause she was pure metal just staring at the drummer 'challenge me'! honestly i can't believe they come from just up the road and i've never got into them before cause that gig was superlative, they just kept pulling rabbits out the hat, one point i thought they were dnr jnr ha and then kurt rised from the hashes and then everybody, i almost thought he was cheating at one stage cause he was getting so many harmonics out of his set up i thought well ok this is a numbers game, when you play thet many harmonies all at once then you're bound to sound like someone! then it dawned on me that they are way beyond their time. keep music live!

I thought the gig tonight was good right up until I found out that I missed the chance to meet Campestral.

[Campestral]

oh man i thought it was you avoiding me! shucks you were the only guy allowed to smoke in there too i felt afraid to come up and introduce myself. waht's that philosopher's name? moores the pity

Yeah, I managed to get some. Thank fuck. Really enjoyed it, even with some guy beside me with a Liam Gallagher haircut making wanker signs at them throughout the drone bit.

yeah, that was pretty weird. like they actually would've given a fuck.
great gig, took my earplugs out for a few seconds and immediately regretted it.
