22 01 2007I’m just listening to The Good, The Bad and The Queen, my most awaited album of the last week. So awaited that I’ve been resisting the temptation to go into Fopp to see if it’s out because I knew it wasn’t and that kind of insanity isn’t good for a person. I’m increasingly under the impression that anything Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton touches turns to musical gold.
At the same time I bought TGTB&TQ, I also got the latest Manics album (Lifeblood) for a quid. I had previously felt a mild sense of concern that I didn’t buy it when I saw it for £3, because even though it wasn’t very good, I felt like I should keep the collection going, but now I see I made the right choice - £3 still wasn’t too little for this album, but £1? Right fucking On. This beats my previous record of buying Know Your Enemy for £4.
2007 is going to be a good year for music. Let’s look at my events calendar for ‘07 so far:
Tue 23rd Jan: Ben Folds @ Hammersmith Apollo
Fri 2nd Feb: Arcade Fire @ Porchester Hall
Mon 5th Feb: Tedstock (Lee! Herring! And Lee & Herring! And some other stuff.)
Tue 6th Mar: Charlotte Hatherley @ Islington Academy
Fri 9th Mar: Ash @ ULU
Fri 16th Mar: Arcade Fire @ Brixton Academy
Also at some point in Feb we’re planning to go see Bill Bailey & Co. do some of Pinter’s sketches.
And, more importantly, somewhere out there, the Pixies are attempting to demo a new album. I might just die.
i quite liked Know Your Enemy.
