Glastonbury pictures

Thinking about Glastonbury, Mum asked at the weekend if we had any pictures of us there, bearing in mind we may never go again. And I thought LAWKS, no I don't! I found a few luckily, but they're rubbish, andn none that make it look like we're having...

now all we need is the date...

did you see any other bands there? I've heard of a few others playing there, it was on the indie circuit, but no-one's sure of actual dates. Suede played there, that's one I do have a date for, as it's in their biography Love and Poison. I hear Faith...

"Caught By The Fuzz" for the "Who were Supergrass, Grandad?" generation

Lethal Bizzle's "Police On My Back" is a bit flippin' good isn't it? Who says I don't like new music, because I've listened to new music before and it's all rubbish? Oh, that'd be me.Also this week, I am listening to Suede rarities and bootlegs and t...

Farewell then The Metronome

In the Herald last week it said it's opening as some sort of medical / health centre. Where now might we ever see again bands of the calibre of Suede, The Manics, or Faith No More playing in intimate surroundings?...

I can't read that

Do you mean that they're www.popex.com/img/censored.gif, or that they're www.popex.com/img/censored.gif? Or maybe you mean that I'm www.popex.com/img/censored.gif, I'm shocked...Aluminium blinds indeed, they're VERTICAL for starters, and made of genu...

BBC fights Blue Peter badge sales

Badgetastic, there are still tonnes of Blue Peter Badges on sale though, going for crazy prices - is this the ebay guerillas spoiling the auctions? Nice work!Sadly finished Nathan Barley last night, it's a brilliant series, and should be compulsory v...

Best Gigs Ever

Hmm, having no joy tracking down the full 100 of Time Out's best london gigs chart they did last issue, but prompted by a thread on PopExcellent I've had a think about my top five gigs... I'm sure I'll think of more later and strike these out...1. Bl...

No More Tears

Woo The Tears played a Suede Song! Cheers for this Stu...

You've been framed

BBC reports about a burgliar caught on a webcam, and the 11 month sentence he got... have a look at the homeowner Duncan Grisby's site with the original pictures on, in that third one down is the burglar doing that "pretending I'm just rubbing my eye...

Bernard Butler

We were in the Phoenix artists bar last night before The Tears gig, precisely because it's the kind of place where you might spot somebody... And LO! There was Saint Bernard Butler, dressed like a student in a big coat and hat. I nearly snapped him o...

Keeping my head down

Not actually much to report this week, just keeping my head down to get through the week, really looking forward to 5.30 on Friday. This weekend Clare's bro is over from the Americas, where he lives, so it should be a right royal piss up.Our living r...

Dilemma

Bloc Party or The Tears? The Tears or Bloc Party? I can go to either, on the 16th of Feb, but not to both... Bloc Party is at the Barfly, never seen them and that venue is far too cosy for them... The Tears is at the Astoria, part of NME week which I...

Tears before bedtime

(I think nme.com already used "Tears in Heaven")So, I went to see The Tears last night, at Heaven nightclub at Charing Cross... you know what? It wasn't all that. I love Suede, but never saw them live with Bernard Butler, so the opportunity to see hi...

Looking forward to The Tears

We're off to see The Tears tomorrow night, if the tickets ever show up... got a call from SMS who are delivering them today to say they're going to try again tomorrow... USELESS BASTARDS! Anyway, Nic went yesterday to the warm up in Oxford and says:i...

Some in the studio snaps

Some pictures of Brett and Bernard working together on Bernard's site, apparently... maybe they're not going to be using the name Suede then?...

It's definitely happening

The reunion is definitely happening, but it might be that it's just Anderson and Butler getting together and using the name Suede... Are you going to Earls Court then? It sounds quite convincing to me that they would support Morrissey, but then I als...

Suede reunion

Article in the Indie here... not sure how much of a Suede reunion it's going to be, I hear on www.popbitch.com (oh yes, always reliable) that they'll not be playing any old material, so there is NO parallel with the recent fantastic Pixies shows...If...

The Others

I like the sound of The Others, they did a gig on a tube a couple of weeks back. Unfortunately going to miss their show at the Barfly as it clashes with Goldie Lookin' Chain, but going to track down some stuff... The IPOD is treating me good today, b...

No no no no no no... ooh close!

This headline: Libertines Joined By Very Special Guest At Love Music Hate Racism Gigjust gave me the fear on reading the www.thetripwire.com mailout - I remembered a rumour that Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler were going to get back together and pe...

Updated Folkestone gig history

From someone on mr gig:Toft's Jazz Club was just down the hill from the Harp Club. Stand outside the harp, turn left (looking at the roundabout). Cross the road to the library, turn left and walk down past the roundabout. Its a big building on the...

Essential Suede

Got that fascinating slice of Folkestone History from www.essentialsuede.com/tourdates.html - I like gigography type sites, I've found and linked to similar resources online for The Darkness, Nirvana and Oasis......

Tripwire

www.thetripwire.com says Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler are working together again, how exciting is that? I had heard that rumour, but now it's confirmed, I am a bit pleased.Wonder what the other members of Suede think of this?...

2000AD

Who'd have thought Metro would do something that I approve of, what's happening to the world? They've signed up Judge Dredd as a new comic strip, unfortunately not dropped either of the other two yet though. I read 2000AD every week when I was younge...

Mortgage Broker

After hearing from a mortgage broker every hour on the hour all week, today, not a peep... I think it could be because I've mailed him to point out that the best mortgage he's found for me seems to be the same as the mortgage my own bank have offered...

Ricardo

It's a bit crap putting reality TV types up here (he was the Brazillian hairdresser from "The Salon"), but he's quite an entertainer by all accounts, he tends to dress as a lady when he's going to showbizzy type affairs, but at Suede on Saturday Nigh...

Mike Leigh

I was expecting to see a big bundle of celebs at the last ever Suede gig at the Astoria on Saturday night, but as we stood downstairs I missed all the usual melee in the Keith Moon Bar... I DID however see Mike Leigh in the Phoenix Theatre bar before...

Suede were amazing

So glad we went to the Astoria to see Suede on Saturday, they were fantastic. They played two sets, the first being all the non singles that they say they wanted to play - coincidentally it was all their best songs, all the songs they've been ignorin...

Suede @ London Astoria

Man I'm spending too much on gigs, but it's turning into a really good year for good bands touring... Just got Suede tickets, it's good that they've added a new date at a smaller venue... Also GOOD that it's a Saturday night, we can really make a day...

Day of flat viewing

I'm a bit nervous about seeing the flat, what if it's perfect and then I have to REALLY commit?Last night was good, quieter than expected though. I blew out the Channelfly xmas party at The Enterprise to go see Electric Soft Parade doing a cheeky gig...

Suede onstage at 7.30pm

Suede are onstage very early indeed, as suspected, so as to clear everyone out in time for the club... Word according to popbitch is that Neil Codling will be in the building, but undecided as to whether he's performing or not... WHO CARES, what abou...

Astoria

Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler, weren't they in a band together before? One of the NME gigs, support included The Magic Numbers I think but we stayed in the pub and missed them all....

Astoria

Last gig ever! Played some great sets, the gig seemingly got chopped short, we left to the ghostly strains of "We'll Meet Again"... I hope we do.

Glastonbury

Suede, REM, Radiohead, and The Darkness opening the main stage on the Friday morning......

The Scala

Electric Ballroom

Fan club gig, played the new album, then a hits set, then a "wheel of fortune" set including best songs "My Dark Star" and "The Living Dead"...

Old Trafford Cricket Ground

Plus Suede and Divine Comedy. It booted it down with rain, but we had a great time.

Shepherds Bush Empire

MTV Five Night Stand, would have been a few other bands on the bill... broadcast on MTV from May 17 to May 23, 1999.
