So, it’s been a bit of a shitty week. Not just Trump, but at work too. I had tickets for Shannon and the Clams last night, and I nearly didn’t go. But I’m glad I did. They were a tonic.
Their recent album is fantastic, and a lot of the songs deal with Shannon’s grief after losing her fiance in a car accident two years ago. She’s spoken about trying to find the moments of joy in life, through the crushing grief. Well, she and her band certainly supplied the joy last night. One of my gigs of the year.
The Canadian support band, Mock Media, were also great.

Went and saw the Flaming Lips Thursday night, it was an awesome party I will never forget. Whether one regards light shows & other visuals at gigs essential or not, it has become works of beautiful art that enhance the emotional senses while listening to the music in my opinion. They played Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots in its entirety the first half of the show, some of their well known songs the second half.
This was the only decent photo I got.
Some videos from Thursday night have appeared on youtube

Went to the see the awesome Mattiel in Glasgow last week, in a gig postponed from December. Really enjoyed it, and also liked the support act, Cosmic Crooner, a lot.

Last night at The Gov I saw R.E.M. tribute band Stipe. Spent the whole night dancing, they were great. When I got home I got a wee bit sentimental, wished it really was R.E.M. playing live in such a small intimate setting.

I saw LCD Soundsystem last night. I wasn’t really a fan going in although I had a couple of their songs on a gym mix on my mp3 player. I left blown away and sweaty. It’s been a while since I’d enjoyed a show that much.

Wilco with Waxahatchee last night at the Saenger in NOLA. I’ve loved Wilco since nearly day one and have enjoyed every show of theirs I’ve attended, but I have to say that in my opinion Waxahatchee stole the show last night.
