good day AU! Naw im stuck in liverpool for most of the summer so i'll hafta catch the cream of the irish music scene wen they head over to me! keep up the good work wif the magazine,its like the NME only wif actual content
Went to see The National last night. Was utterly fantabulous :) Shall also be hitting The Flaming Lips and Mogwai in August...good times!!! :)
Mogwai in Mandela in 2001 is in my top 5 gigs ever, therefore I'm horribly excited. I'm sure they shan't disappoint. Best to watch them with eyes closed though (if that makes sense), the football shirts are a teensy bit offputting!
Ahhh, there's an article about Sparks in the new issue, AKA the greatest pop that ever walked the Earth! I saw them 5 times at the Sparks Spectacular in London in May/June. Amazing!
heyy im a step ahead of u im already a member of ur forum haha! well i found my self a concert ... its the love box in dublin NERD maximo park plaine white Ts should be good cant wait .. gettin my ticket on fri! i was gona go to belsonic onli the second day tho too see fighting with wire !! was thinkin bout goin t the blocparty dj set in sandinos suposidly the actual band member from bloc party ( not the main singer ) is doin the DJ set !:D !!so wat did u think of glatonbury ??
Hi Kimbo, Thanks for the add! I haven't been at a gig in a while, I think the last one I was at was Kagura, Farago, The Jane Bradfords and Escape Act at the Empire. Absolutely fantastic! Particularly Kagura and Farago! Frances

Might try and talk nicely to the Kowalski boys about the Waterfront gig... Radiohead are playing in New Jersey when I'm there in August, which would be sa-weet.
