Low Anthem and the Decemberists tonight. Anyone watching?

[MattL80]

Wow, that's amazing, my mental computer managed to post the same thing 3 times. No it wasn't me, it was the computer. If there are any moderators out there who are able to remove the other two then please do.

But yeah, the low anthem were flipping good.

Wow,  2 songs for the Decemberists and 1 for the low anthem. Thanks.
At least we got about 14 from the incipid David grey and corrine bailey ray. Thats what's important.
Oh and thanks for that interview with vic reeves. That's why I watch your show, for the pointless interviews with comidiens.

Last in the series you say? oh what a shame.

That said, the low anthem and the decemberists were great.

Decemberists for next year please.

Oh, and I'm not drunk, its the computer.

And please, someone else post something. I'm beginning to think i'm the only one who sits in alone drinking wine on a friday night watching rubbish tv!!

ps. Them Crooked Vultures on now, no dissapointment there.

Watched Jools on replay last night and yeah, it was diasppointing to only have the three songs from the pair of them. Especially when The Low Anthem could have played another instead of Vic Reeves' pointless interview (and I like Vic Reeves).

Was a bit gutted for The Decemberists though. Jools never provides a great platform for bands, IMO. They always sound a bit weak and insipid on there. Sadly, The Decemberists performance was marred by the problems. Having seen them at The Forum on Wednesday, I can safely say that The Rake's Song and The Wanting Comes In Waves come across so, so, so much better in a proper live setting. Awesome band and the perfect headliner for EotR. MAKE IT HAPPEN!

I have to admit that in the last couple of days I've gone from not knowing much about The Decemberists to being a big fan. The Hazards Of Love is a great album with just enough 'prog' for an old bugger like me. Headlining next year is a must.

So far I have Hazards, The Crane Wife and Picaresque. I think Picaresque is my favourite - quite piratey in places. Hazards is great as well

I was disappointed too - Gutted Low Anthem only played one, so do we think The Decemberists might be at EOTR? Fingers crossed.

Really got no idea. I think we'd all love them there and all this talk is more hopeful than general expectation.
