The gig at the Bowery last night was excellent, it all felt very low-key which was fitting for the music. Mary Hampton’s songs are really beautiful as was her performance and Pete Greenwood was very understated and charming on stage. Maybe a little too self-deprecating, he ended a lot of his songs rather abruptly, followed by an unnecessary apology. A shame, but altogether an enjoyable evening.

WordPress won’t allow any embedded Javascript if you aren’t self-hosted, so that’s unfortunately not possible. I will be trying to sort that out over Christmas though, so maybe we’ll get that sorted for the new year. Then I’ll have a far better understanding of what the real readership is.

Yes, Dylan. If you look at the stats for the monthlies, we’re not doing too badly. Of course there are plenty of qualifiers with something like that, like drive-by mp3 croppers and allowances for repeat visitors, which WordPress is rotten at calculating. But it’s not bad.

cheers toad, i like the use of the term shadowy – you could be more right than you know… (actually i’m not really involved in that side of things – i had to have guitar hero explained to me the other day, i thought it was a cartoon character…)

hope to see you there.

yes he does. but he’s a trier and god loves a trier(which means nothing to him because he thinks all that religious stuff is shit as well) but we love him anyways.

and i find this blog much more interesting than a music mag. in fact, i find most blogs much more interesting to read than music mags. plus, if I don’t agree with something I can say and then have a discussion, which is far more interesting to me.

Candythief will be playing the Jazz Bar on Sunday – that’s one that I’ll really be intrigued to see – their last EP was brilliant.

(Actually, about as much as the circulation of a decent music mag. Not quite Mojo or Uncut or any of those, but the last time I checked the figures it was something at least on the same basic playing field, albeit a good way behind.)

And QJ, sorry about that, I got it confused with Gimme Shelter in my head somehow, but I’ve rectified it and put it up there where it belongs. Just ask Ruth, Bart and Euan, I seem to bloody do this all the time.

About twenty people a day if I factor out you muppets.
