I've got tickets to see The Proclaimers in October, and intend to get tickets for Dexy's too.

What plans has anybody else got gigwise?

Blur (possibly) on the 27th, in August John Hiatt, then Joe Jackson (with Spooky!), Jeff Beck and B.B. King in September and hopefully REM and then Radiohead in October...gotta start pinching pennies!

I saw Yo La Tengo the other night; they were amazing, and I met Ira after the show and we chatted about New Jersey. Incredibly nice guy, I wasn't even nervous or anything. Other than that...I'm itching for Sleater-Kinney.

LL: You lucky bugger! Id love to see the Proclaimers but im trying to persuade my other half into it. I made the ultimate sacrifice to go see Tori Amos with him but I dont think hes moving on this one!!

I really want to go see Ben Folds as well, he's opening for Tori Amos...not sure if I can make that sacrifice.

i've got tickets for the Eels, in Somerville MA August 1st.

The Rolling Stones & Friends on July 30th, and hopefully the Toronto Star Blues Festival in a few weeks (Richard Thompson, John Hiatt, Big Bill Morganfield, Robert Cray, etc.).

Bob Mould - August 8th

Thinking about the Sex Pistols on Aug 20th - they've gotton quite good at their instruments and they've really got their 15 or so songs down pat. 45 minutes of anthemic punk rock - nothing like feeling you've been cheated before you enter the venue.

i'm gonna try to make it to see rem in austin in september. outside of that i've gotta lotta school and work ahead of me. i can't see myself going to too many concerts.

Bowie Nov 26 at Wembley, hoping to God the new LP is somewhere near as good as the last, cos you never can tell with the slippery Dame. If it isn't, hope to God he plays lots of Heathen. Actually, if he plays Be My Wife, the night will be perfect. That's all I need. If it were after hearing Be My Wife live to die, then it were then to be so happy... Planning to see Frank Black in Oct (tickets about £10!). Would love to see Radiohead, but it probably sold out ages ago. Wouldn't mind seeing the Proclaimers here too. And then there's the issue of whether I make it Ron Sexsmith at the Cambridge Folk Festival.

Bob Mould used to live next door to my brother's girlfriend when he lived in Austin. I never managed to be visiting when he was in town, but he came over to her house for dinner a couple of times.

Cheers, SoL, yes, had seen. That's just after Frank Black. Some week at the Junction!

I'll be at Fuji Rock Festival with PerfectBlue and EC, Iggy Pop, Underworld, Bjork, Primal Scream etc.

Watch out for us in the press - PB will be sitting on my shoulders wearing a pair of chequered My Aim Is True boxer shorts with E V L I S I S K I N G (sic) written on the white squares, and a pink Diana Krall T-shirt emblazoned "Oh No ! It's Another Episode of Blonde !"

Three whole days and nights of Sex 'n' Drugs 'n' Rock 'n' Roll for some lucky people. Me ? I'm gonna have to find a good book to read.

Well, judging from the above paragraph, you'll at least be getting the sex and the rock 'n' roll, even if the former has to wait until after the performance.

Just got tickets for Paul Weller in December. I haven't been to a gig since I saw Costello at Hammersmith last year and now I've got three to look forward to. Just hope that EC doesn't announce a uk tour that clashes with any of them.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Sat Jul 26, 2003 8:08 am

Shouldn't we hope for a UK tour even so? better to have a clash than no Elvis! Wouldn't you sell off any of the others to see Elv again?

That said, if he plays London on Nov 26, I'll be very unhappy (Bowie night). But then Cambridge to Birmingham or Leicester is easy enough! I'd like to see him twice on the next tour cos I've never done that and would like to see how the two nights compare.

Fuckin' Bob Dylan in two weeks, and Tom Tom Club next month, both in smallish venues. I've only ever seen Dylan in arenas!
