iLiKETRAiNS - Edinburgh 25th Sept
Rush - Sheffield 6th Oct

I am really intruiged by iLiLETRAiNS, having bought the Progress Reform collection - interesting lyrical concerns combined with a big post-rock sound.

I was talked into the Rush gig by a friend who is a fan. I quite like 2112 and Farewell to Kings but not that sure/familiar with the rest of their stuff. Hopefully it will be good!

Cowboy Junkies - Trinity Session, tomorrow night
at the wonderful Sage, Gateshead.

Evaniscence (?) in November here in Mexico.

Liked their last album.

I saw Roger Hodgson at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham last night, I have to say that I wasn't sure what sort of performance to expect, but he was absolutely superb. Shame it was his last UK gig. Great set-list too.

Saw Ian Brown in Dundee on Mon and Motherwell on Tues. Both excellent nights.

Also saw Maximo Park last week and the Fratellis the week before. No money left now

Saw the Tord Gustavsen Trio at the Queen's Hall last night. Excellent evening. Reminds you (again) that even a good Naim hifi is a pale imitation of a Steinway grand in a hall with good acoustics.

Funny thing is the more I spend on hifi & CDs the more gigs I seem to be going to! Ho-hum.

I'm going to see them in Leeds on Thursday. Quite excited about it.
Did they stretch out a bit?

No, they played energetically and standing up the whole time - but I suspect that is not what you're asking

I am going to see Dick Dale in a couple of weeks. Will probably need my ear protection reading on the internet he used to blow up amps like firecrackers.

Jose Gonzalez this evening - yipeee!!!
