So just had a quick gander at ticketmaster and there seems to be a veritable conucopia of superb gigs, and if I can I'm going to do them all.
I've already got tickets to see The Who in june, and I've also just scored 2 tickets to see Bjork which should be ace.
Tomorrow morning I have to be up early as 10.00 tickets go one sale for The Manic Street Preachers and seeing its going to be at the Melkweg, that's going to sell out damn fast.
Apart from that I really fancy going to the followin which are all playing in the next few weeks:
Fun Loving Criminals Turbonegro Charlotte Hatherley (maybe) Wolfmother The Magic Numbers Kaiser Chiefs Mike Patton (he of Faith No More) The Cult Life of Agony (maybe) Me First and the Gimme Gimme's Less than Jake Chemical Brothers
There's probably at least 3 of those I can blag passes to.
Edit: Forgot - going to see The Wildhearts as well a week tomorrow in Oxford!

Well, I'm happy because my beloved Trans-Global Underground have a new album coming out in June and they're playing all sorts of daft little festivals that no one's heard of but look quite entertaining anyway, so I'll be trying to get along to a couple of those.

I'm going to see the Manics. Last time I went to see the Manics I fainted,and had to be manhandled out of the arena by a burly roadie. I was then given a small cardboard dish to sick into.
I'm hoping not repeat this element of the experience this time around.

Iggy is playing here at Pinkpop next month, along with Muse, Amy Winehouse, The Magic Numbers, The Arctic Monkeys, Snow Patrol, Macy Gray, Marilyn Manson and a load more class stuff. I'm getting a bit old for festivals, but I might be up for that.

Went to Faithless at Nottingham last month which was very good. Tried to get tickets for the Manics in Norwich but they sold out in 4.5 nanoseconds. UEA only holds about 1000 people. I have seen them many times though, including when they played Norwich arts centre in front of about 200 people in something like 1990.
Mr Scruff and Groove Armada are coming this way and quite convieniently a couple of days either side of Mrs Keef's birthday so they'll do for a couple of good nights out.
Got some tickets for the Australian Pink Floyd show, seen them a few times before, always put on a good show - next best thing to the real Floyd.
Glastonbury, like H1ppy, is also on the list. Not doing V this year although was offered some tickets last week and I very nearly bought them. Wonder if they're still available...
Hopefully the Chemical Brothers are going to be at Glastonbury but if not I'll be looking to get in on some of that action. Fun Loving Criminals are always good too, didn't realise they were touring this year though, must look up the dates. Cambridge Junction looks the likely candidate.

saw some bands on friday... Professor Green, Air Traffic, Billy Bragg, Black Rebel Motorcyle Club. Only one of those bands was a simpering collaboration between four children who had spent their childhoods listening to Radiohead and Muse on repeat. The rest were all okay, with 'Black Rebel' probably the highlight.

I'll have a website soon, and on it I'll have a spikey fence, where you can hang the heads of ***** you don't like. And if you do like 'em you can invite 'em not to be *****.

I saw them when I was 16. A long time ago...so don't remember much of the show, except it was swelteringly hot outside and even more so inside. They were touring with Sick Of It All, Sepultura and someone else that I can't remember now.
I am going to Whistle, Memorial Day weekend. Am very excited as Q-Bert, FreakyFlow and my friend J-Smooth (as well as a load of other djs) are all spinning.
I would like to see Bjork...I didn't know she was touring. Does she have a new album out?

A friend of mine did some production work for Bjork once. I know this through another friend, who said he phoned up saying "Hey, what's a really cool, expensive restaurant in London? I've got to take Bjork out to dinner!". Then again, the friend he had phoned says things like "God I was in the VIP box at the Albert Hall last night and who did I have to sit next to? Elton bloody John, that's who" and things like that.
I live a rock'n'roll lifestyle vicariously through my friends in the lower circles of Londoncoolness.
And through you lot, of course. "A broad cross-section of London's media elite", wasn't it?

She has, called Volta, though I'm not sure it's sold much. Doesn't seem to be in the Top 30 displays in the supermarkets anyway. Love the cover though:
