Ah here, apart from a couple of songs, it wasent the best now was it

 

[singer]

Cornelius and Flaming Lips in The Olympia was ace.
Mogwai in the Olympia there not so long ago was stunningly good (and loud).
Sigur Ros in The Temple Theatre was fucking great.
Godspeed in the Ambassador.

(I reckon if I had gone along to that Godspeed/Sigur Ros/Pan Am gig in the TBMC it'd be on this list ).

R.E.M. at Slane was wonderful (Oasis and Belly too!).

Sunday last year at Witnness was fucking brill (Rednecks, Street Thunder, Paul O'Reilly, White Stripes, Frank Black, Trail of Dead, Teenage Fanclub, David Kitt and SFA!!!).

 

[pee pee]

rod stewart is cancelled till tomorrow night!

SCORE!
