Thats what left for the rest of a great musical year!

Tonight Lee Bains & Calexico. Two gigs! Last night Sinead O Connor.

Decemberists tonight Really good show last night. Got the feeling they're trying out the new songs in Europe so they know how they work before they hit the bigger venues in the US but can't knock it. A full two hours including the bit when they jangle like REM, the bit where they sound like Nick Dr...

Sounds great, is there any viewing option?

Looks like a work trip to Shanghai is going to keep me from Athens this year. We were choosing between a European vacation in May or a Virgin Islands cruise. The timing is impecable. Think this might be the clincher. A possibility at the very least. I wouldn't do a show every night, however Dublin ...

Vicar St Dublin Sat 10 May. Tickets on sale this Friday at 9am.

Yea the Tabernacle is costly....can only limit myself to 1 in that place. Iron & Wine - The Shepard's Dog is a record you should pick up if at all...you will dig it. I'll second that. Its his best album imo. Caught same show early on in the year as original poster with the back up band, loved it!

My album of the year thus far. Israel Nash's "Rain Plains". I'm hooked on this gem.

Last album from 2011 I think "An appointment with Mr.Yeats" I put after Fisherman's Blues. Its a hidden gem. Seen em live a few times, always a great show. Catching a couple of shows later on in the year too. Met Mike Scott at one of his book signings & had a couple of words with him, ...

Pre ordered this album along with new tshirt & Cooley's album back in mid August. Im in Europe & its yet to arrive, anybody else having the same issue perhaps? I emailed musictoday and no reply, getting worried at this stage. Ordered a couple of things in the past from Truckers site & ne...

Hitting the month of June now. Got lots lined up... Iron & Wine Steve Earle The Who Slayer Neil Young & Crazy Horse/ The Waterboys & Los Lobos supporting, magic! Black Crowes x 3 ZZ Top As much as Im looking foward to each and every one of those that month, my heart aches as I cannot mak...

Gig not until July Im afraid, despite the price I may never get to see something on this scale again, and goddamn its Ennio Morricone, bit of a legend really. Conducting the Roma Sinfonietta, his 97-piece Italian orchestra, together with a 100-strong choir - thats what going down. Oh caught a couple...

Ennio Morricone tickets scored! Not cheap.

Underrated - Mark Lanegan. Clutch too.

Bought Achtung Baby the day it was released.

First time in my life I've heard it referred to as underrated! Always figured it was second in line to The Joshua Tree as their best work.

Cheers - ordered the debut album. Fingers crossed. One of life's greatest pleasures is discovering a band/artist that has a few albums or extensive back catalogue in place - and that they somehow passed you by. Happened last year with me with PJ Harvey (why didnt I tune in, pay attention all them ye...

Scouring the net on the sites I do, these guys names pop up every now & again. Prepared to buy an album online now, not prepared to read through X amount of pages - no offense, quite happy to buy one one on the blind & hope for the best.

What album should I purchase?

Scored tickets for The Waterboys in December. Think its the longest time I ever had between purchasing tickets & actual showtime. 9 Months! 25th Anniversary of one of my top 20 desert island records i.e Fisherman's Blues. Trevor Hutchinson & Anto Thistlewaite back on board after 20 years sur...

Bastards will never get another penny out of me after this Lombardo scandal[/quote] Its shocking yeah. Bill Ward & then Lombardo. Something's in the air.[/quote] El Niño, which in Spanish means "fuck the drummer"[/quote] Hari-Kari, which in Japanese means to slice open the stomach in a...

And Grace Potter is doing the support (not sure if the Nocturnals are with her though)

My tickets say with The Nocturnals. A bit of eye candy on stage will be a welcome change from bearded men typos.

Scored front row centre tickets for Steve Earle. No more lookin at the back of somebody's head. Just at Steve's big gut or preferrably Allison Moorer.

Caught Ethan Johns Friday night, talented dude. Got music running through his veins. Short enough set, but to be expected as its his first album. He played Revelator by Gillian Welch. David Rawlings owns that tune & nobody should ever attempt it as its gonna fall flat compared to Rawlings sweet ...

I saw Calexico on Saturday night in Manchester. Set was heavily biased toward Feast of Wire which was great. They did an awesome version of Not even Stevie Nicks that morphed into a krautrock version of Love will tear us apart . They also improvised a song called 'More Guitars' after someone in the...

Iron & Wine in May. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First show of 2013 next week with Old Crow Medicine Show. Got Calexico ,Avett Brothers, Lucinda Williams, Springsteen, Neil & Crazy Horse, Black Crowes, ZZ Top all on the way. Its gonna be a monumental year! Finished work & see The Who are coming to town, sweet. Got tickets for that. Edit - ...
