Good gig. Really, really good in parts - Flume, a solo Re: Stacks and a lovely For Emma - sagged a bit at other times. Some of the new stuff veered dangerously towards Snow Patrol/stadium rock, dare I say it.
The legendary Paul Brady ended up sitting behind marg and me and he left after three songs...hehe...."I don't get it", he audibly huffed. Nothing like a dose of honesty, is there?

he stomped off with some authority. none of yer namby mamby sitting-on-the-fence nonsense. to be admired.
been reading up on the support. sarah siskind. i'd wrongly mistaken her for a dripping tap so was in no rush in but the tail end of her was grand. a voice beyond her years. bon iver did a cover of her 'love is for fools' last time. nice wee tune that.

Don't you love Wikipedia's effort at showing you pronounciation? Impossible.
Bon Iver (pronounced /bɔːn ivɛər/)

Has anyone heard his new EP, Blood Bank? Haven't got my hands on it yet, but the reviews have been a bit weird, some were praising it and others said it's shit, basically. I really really really hope it's not shit. It would break my heart

Yeah, the Times reviewed it and I couldn't figure out whether they liked it or not. Not a very helpful review...

Bought it the other day. It's nowhere near the greatness of For Emma Forever Ago but I didn't expect it to be; I do quite like it though, except for 'Woods', which WOULD have been great (probably) if it wasn't for the annoying voice synthesizer thing... that made me want to slap him.
