In other Courteeners news, impressive album sales for them this week in the current climate.  21k in the 1st 3 days.  As a comparison, Lady GaGa did 26k in 6 days last week, Two Door Cinema Club's latest did 8k in 6 days the week before.  Given they haven't had a proper hit single in 6 years and they've got no mainstream radio/press/tv support, they're doing bloody well and ought to be praised for it really.

From Medway.  We don't have much to claim except Billy Childish (meh) and the James Taylor Quartet (yay).

Truth be told I don't know what I am anymore...

Well I'm from Dudley, once we're past Sue Lawley and Lenny Henry I'm stuffed.

HMV on Market St must have been busy.

Went to a gig in Brighton last night, and I have to say that the crowd was pretty sterile.  I mean, when I'm one of the only ones dancing you know it's bad.

Obviously fans and knew the songs, but lots of standing appreciating it.  Not the danciest (word?  maybe) of bands, but certainly enough to move your feet to.

Never really noticed it before.

Is it true Baggy Mondays at the Stonebridge Bar next year is for Northerners only, entrance to the tent is only allowed if you're wearing any Pretty Green clothing or a bucket hat to prove your Northern-ness!

You're not helping Padgey...

But if it is then I will actually end up coming in like Perry to make sure I can attend.  Love Baggy on the Thursday afternoon :)
