[kj] ot - the damned/pistols

[pssyche23]

Cardiacs gig at the Astoria is this coming Friday (their tour starts in Brighton on Monday) - should be a few Gatherers at London gig - Blockheads is just before Christmas and I can't wait - only ever saw them live once with Ian Dury and I think it was the first Madness reunion weekend in Finsbury Park (1992?) - saw Jel today, he's been a bit busy what with young Freya and Tomas to contend with - but he didn't quite seem his normal self, mind you, hot on the heels of Raven's sad departure, I later found out that one of Jel's best mates died in the recent Heathrow T5 accident < http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7065864.stm > the guy was also in his mid 40's and Jel is going to his funeral tomorrow - kinda puts it all into perspective - Regards, Antoni

  hay  psychee--that replacement bus sounds grulling ;D)))))
   
  i got a lift from brix,so i did not have to suffer the indignity of the rickety bus/or worse still,that dreddid night bus!!!!  yeah herd about tube closing at 10pm,nuts hay,wonder how there cope of last night of pistols gig,free for all and proberly a mini riot,scramble for bus ;D))))
   
  well as i had not seen pistols play for 11 years,last time finsbury pk--96 with iggy supporting/i was well fired up for that gig on 8th/back again on 14th also,even if i have to walk home........
   
  also saw them in late 70s-only once(thats was enough-thats all  you needed then ;)--)
  one p.i.l late 70s and many times in 80s,ive kinda got that lot covered at least one each decade--wont mention all the places,be here for hours others wise ;)
   
  same goes for the damned-saw them twice in late 70s,and many times in  in 80s--,once in early 90s at there xmas special do--then exsorsted that one,so gave it a rest,until 2002  just once,and to tell you the truth,i walked out half way through,i was so dissappointed in em,they played appaulingly,they raced through the tracks at neck breaking speed,and dave kept dissapearing of to see his wife and baby back stage,so i had to injure captain sensibles prolonged stupidity--hes ok,but not 20 mins--so i just left,swore i would never bother seeing them again--you have to understand,having seen them many times in past,theyve always delivered,i knew they were just not bothering at that gig i went to 2002,its as if they had lost heart--really..so i give them another go at forum 30th nov,i hope its good,as ive always liked majority of there stuff,although,as the years go by,from the first 2 album i only really still like
   
  neat,neat,neat---new rose--feel alright....as 4 rest,ive out grown them,prefuring the stuff that followed after the-ive just changed thats all and i lv--eloeese ect--uummmmm

    Loads of tickets on Ebay going cheap for Sex Pistols at Brixton for Mon and Wed but the catch is that the tube station shuts at 22:10 (Mon-Thu) due to planned works. The old replacement bus service doesn't sound too appealing on the way home. Glad that I managed to catch them at the Shepherds Bush Empire in 1996, otherwise I would have seriously gone for the Friday night gig. Managed to catch both Buzzcocks and The Damned a few times over the past decade so will give them a miss this time (caught The Damned in a 200 capacity Welwyn Garden City pub back in April 2007 - excellent of course) - have though sorted out a real blinder today, big Phill Jupitus guesting with The Blockheads < http://www.theblockheads.com/index.php > on their 30th anniversary tour on my birthday !!!
