Ah rats. Birthdays is a pretty hit and miss venue, but Japandroids are exactly the band that can make it fucking incredible. Yeah, really want to see them again.

Listened to Wildflower today, I found it a very entertaining and consistent listen, but never really amazing. Could've been better, could've been worse.

I also listened to Good Luck And Do Your Best by Gold Panda, I think I listened like once when it came out and never listened since. That's real good shit right there, I reckon the best electronic album I've heard this year.

65dos No Man's Sky signed 2LP dispatched says my emails, whup whup.

Like like like.  Probably not everyone's cuppa, but for me it's got that instant hook that they've been missing for a while.  Looking forward to the album, even with that title. Only thing I would hope for is a bit more of the small town social commentary from the early albums and maybe a little less of the big serious politics, but that's just me.

On a separate note, new Skinny Lister album coming on 30th September

Hang on a second.  

There's no chance of Billy Ray Cyrus, Joe Cool and that other most excellent punk lad showing up to rob us of a decent headliner next summer........is there?

Oh yeah, that's reminded me. On my last trip to the modern hell that is London, i saw a poster for the Green Day musical, currently on in the West End. Bad enough, you may think, and led me to a multitude of questions about what stripe of arsehole goes to something like that. Further car-crash style rubbernecking of the poster showed me that the lead actor/singer in this sorry debacle was... Newton 'fucks sake, no, my ears my ears, look at that twat, bring back conscription' Faulkner. 

 

Just let the enormity of that sink in. A Green Day musical featuring Newton Faulkner. It's c**t squared.

Sold out, mate. Not a sniff. God knows I tried. Makes the clamour for Harry Potter tickets look like trying to get near the stage to see LCD soundsystem at T in the Park.

Alongside an x factor finalist. He's found his level right enough. Actually, they've all found their level.

It's what strummer would have wanted

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's what Billy Bob's wanted ever since he first picked up his guitar and wrote What's My Age Again?

[Quark]

Green Day, yes.

Green Day Musical?

 

[the wonderwhy]

I'm sure there used to be a Billy Bob in Cuttlefish and the Bubblemen

Newton Faulkner chopped his own ear off? Perfectly understandable. We've all felt the same when hearing him.
