how far are you traveling? I'd definitely recommend it if the travel if its Manchester or closer. 

London :| 

Seems a bit extreme maybe, but I wanna visit anyhow. If they decide to play ally pally in London I'll definitely be looking for alternative venues...

i know its long but you can get a £6.50 (inc booking fee) return by megabus with a coach leaving glasgow at 23:55 after the gig so you dont need to find accomadation

Oh I had no idea who he was. But I now remember talking to him at Glastonbury in 2011 waiting for Imogen Heap. We disagreed on him thinking her stuff with Frou Frou was better than her solo stuff, but he was thoroughly lovely. On his own and chatting away to random people. Had no idea he was a minor celebrity, but he stuck in my mind enough from that encounter.

So - the LCD Soundsystem website - the pic's feed on the left - is it just completely random pics it shows per day or is there some order behind it I wonder....

Anyone notice anything interesting from the pics I see there today? (the pic that is shown is from 2010 like....but whatever... it has peaked my interest)

James Murphy has said on more than one occasion Barrowlands is his favourite venue in the world. And he loves Glasgow too. I'd be very surprised if they don't play...

He's from Bristol (as am I). He has been going to gigs for years, and as he is very tall and headbands to everything, he has slowly grown to a sort of cult celebrity status. As said, he has some form(s?) of learning disabilities and this is his main form of expression. I've never spoken to him but I gather he's a friendly guy.

If bands spot him in the crowd, he generally gets a shout these days too. I think the received wisdom is that if Jeff isn't in the audience, there must be something better on - so it's a bit of a sleight not to see his ginger affro banging away.

Seen a couple of people mention the Long Goodbye, does anyone know if it's still possible to buy it in the UK? Looking at Discogs it'll be £200 including shipping which is probably too much of a stretch

There are copies to be found of it - I picked one up at Reckless Records in Soho a few months back for £70/£80.

that's some vinyl habit that'll contemplate those prices for something that can be heard on Spotify!  each to their own i suppose

yeah i could probably £80-100 for it because it is 5 records (which is how I'm justifying it) but double that is too far - especially as it wasn't even their last show! 

To be fair, I thought the retail was more than £100 so didn't realise just how bad the £130 (+ shipping) was - I'll definitely pass on those ones then

I'd like another Fabergé egg, please.

I've got money to burn, or at least singe.

That, right there, is the moment. Granted I've only been to two GFs, but that must be right near the top of "holy fuck" moments?!

I wish they'd hurry up and announce proper tour dates!

And new music. 

[Aiden]

After spending the month that the set was on the BBC website watching it almost everyday I thought that living without it would probably be for the best, however I have had an extreme change of heart and need the whole thing back in my life more than anything else! I've tried going back to watching Shut Up and Play the Hits again but it simply does not compare to the glasto set because "I was there". 

So if anybody has a link to the whole set somewhere or has it saved themselves and could be kind enough to send it to me I will pay you back with several cans once we're back on the farm next June.

I fucking love it when Al Doyle plays in a band headlining a stage at Glastonbury that closes with "All My Friends"

Every time this thread is bumped I'm hoping it's tour dates and praying it's not an arena tour.

Set of the weekend for me that. Caribou into Hot Chip is the best night I've had on the farm. Bliss.
