Seats are awful when you're under 50. I think I've only had seats for one gig. That was Blur in 1999. Fun night. Phil Daniels came on for Parklife.

He narrated the Quadrophenia performances at Madison Square Garden in New York back in 1996. I caught 2 shows and they were fabulous.

I heard he did that. I was listening to that album only earlier today.
In other news, Arcade Fire's new album out on Monday. Getting stellar reviews everywhere. I wasn't that bowled over by Neon Bible, but it was still good.

It's still my favourite album after first buying it more than 30 years ago. Phil sat almost right above my head during the show. He sort of dangled his feet over a ledge and they'd hit him with a spotlight for his narration bits.
I missed meeting Phil Daniels at the Blur X exhibition back in 1999. Damn shame.

I heard that this morning on the way to work. <3

Mine should arrive tomorrow, hopefully! I was told yesterday that it's on its way.
They're the hip kid's choice, the Robyn.

Oh, early delivery, eh? I've had that a few times before. Always a nice treat.

They should have got us to do it. Eh.

It'd be like that Brits show presented by Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood.

Nah. I reckon it'd be brill. I suppose I'd have to watch some fillums, mind.
