    I was going to buy lana del rey tickets today because I reallyyyy want to see her super bad. But then I saw courtney love is opening and I cancelled. Horrifying.

    You can always show up late. Plus wouldn't CL be worth it just for the spectacle?

    Just got Fleetwood Mac tickets for November 21. Hopefully John McVie stays alive.

    Saw them in 2009, and wouldn't have bothered this time around, except Christine McVie has rejoined the band.

    Also seeing Midge Ure in April (to add to the retroness of the other shows I'm going to in the next few months, Billy Idol / Cheap Trick, plus Spandau Ballet / Nik Kershaw).

    Does this mean something to you?

    I got my Of Monsters of Men tickets at the Roseland theatre for the end of May. Small venue, should be good.

    Anyone got Tickets for the Grateful Dead show in Chicago?

    I saw Lana a few years ago and she was really good. I think I only paid like £35 or so for a ticket, tho. I'm sure it'll be double that when she plays London next :/

    Ugh yeah it's bad. I don't like her tour setup at the moment, she just added Grimes for a bunch more shows but...not hitting the same places she went with Love. Lana + Grimes not playing LA? Makes 0 sense.

    1) I'm waiting for the Ting Tings to start their set. Tomorrow work will really suck.
    2) I just put unused earplugs from a communal bowl into my ears because the opening act was incredibly loud in such a small theater and I am well past the age of not giving a blank about wringing ears the next day.

    Colin Hay (Men at Work) doing a comedy / songs show.



    Also Noel Fielding. I have no idea what to expect there. Not really a concert, that one.

    I went to some awesome underground show last night with tons of bands I'd never heard of (plus a couple of big names). Most mindblowing was these guys, so ****ing awesome and unique combination of genres....bought the rest of their discog right after.

    Well, Of Monsters of Men was awesome. Played Tons of new music off their next record. Played all their hits and more.

    They just take me on a journey with every song. Story telling at a very high level.

    Go see them if you get the chance.

    Last show I saw was Steven Wilson, and I can't find any footage of it on YouTube but I found another show from the same tour.

    I might be biased but I have to say I think the one I went to was better than all the ones I've seen on YouTube.
