Hate to be that guy, but Key Markets came out last year.

Ta - Moved from my 2016 master list to my 2015 master list. Yes, it does matter. Just as Elvis Presley should be filed under 'P' rather than 'E'. It's the little things you see...

We could be friends.

I reckon we could have rare moment of absolute agreement between me, you and James with this one. 

We'll need that after the inevitable James Blake-gate

What is James Blake-gate?

Just an ongoing argument. I think he's great whereas @The Orgazoid thinks he is - and I quote - "a dullard". 

This is likely to reach boiling point given how good the Colour In Anything was and how high it's likely to be placed on my AOTY list.

Ah I see.

Fwiw I'd go with a drippy dullard.

I think you'd do it just to wind me up. Even if you thought the album was shite.

Used to think he was a drippy dullard, WH headline set proved me wrong, really enjoyed it. Then like a mug I went to see him at Green Man and nearly died of old age during that set. Jesus, Radio Silence and The Wilhelm Scream are good, but the rest of it slowed down time to an excruciating crawl.

When I'm Prime Minister, hearing Retrograde live will be made a mandatory educational experience. One of the most sublime moments of my life hearing that on the Park in 2014 while the sun set

Justice live show tickets are on DICE. Brixton Academy on 29th September.

Are these completely out of the blue or did I miss them announce those shows earlier in the week?

i don't recall hearing anything about it. weird for them to be released so far in advance for just an academy show as well 

edit: just seen it announced - tickets on sale now are pre-sale. general sale on Monday

Yeah that's exactly what I thought. I still got myself a ticket, but Im not happy about the wait. Although it is 3 days after my birthday so that has solved that problem 9 months in advance

[DropBeat]

Can't keep up with all the gig announcements at the moment! Thanks for the heads up on Justice. Gonna get that one sorted!

[mjsell]

Yeah is there normally this many gigs announced and sold so close to Christmas? my bank balance has taken a hit this week. 2 tickets for Maccabees and 1 for Justice. Didnt plan for those this month... 

People will be getting a pack of mistrels each for christmas as a result. Or a mini celebration (chococlate) each like from Gavin and Stacey.

I prefer the new J. Cole to 2014 FHD at the moment. First listen.

[russycarps]

Ffug are supporting SFA tonight. Do any of you clever types know what they are like??

Aye I just checked them out and can only imagine their name is spelt backwards.

[dentalplan]

Sigur Ros are hyping 2017 up on their website and social media. Muse be about to announce the new album, right? Rather than a tour as they didn't do the same when they last announced a tour.

Ta. Ffuck them then, I'll stay in the pub where the beer is cheaper, and nicer.

 

[mjsell]

Speaking of sub acts, anyone know whether Dj James Holroyd is worth leaving a pub for before chemical brothers tomorrow? I can't imagine he would be but who knows.

2 from Los Anjaleeze

Warbly Jets....played 2 dates this past weekend in NYC which I missed for choosing nights out christmas drinking w/ mates instead...

The Shelters - not sure if I've posted this lot before, but first time i heard this track i caught it at around the 2:30 in spot and it blew me away & perked my curiosity and so i caught these earlier this year at a famed little local venue here called the Mercury Lounge. discovered and produced by Tom Petty apparently and he took them on the road with them this year when he did his tour with his old band Mudcrutch

God I hope so. Would be a great way to top off the year. Still holding out for that Other Stage headline slot, although their absence from every other lineup probably lays that to bed

[EighteenSixty7]

Ab-Soul's album is a late surprise.
