Had tickets to Glassjaw and Saves the Day in that London but didnt go cause of work…I was 17 working in a cinema
Turning up a day late for Fever Ray on her last tour
Didnt you like them? Im not a fan other than the singles and saw them in Wembley and had a great time
Dont even want to think of how many gigs I missed out on cause of this
Didnt see Hot Cross cause it was raining hard, not sure they played again.
Kvelertak played with Toxic Holocaust and Trap Them and we turned up halfway through Kvelertaks set, saw like 3 songs
Got to putting my card details in for Prince at the Electric Ballroom before deciding to be an adult and not borrow money from my Mum for rent that month. Terrible idea.
Not spending that £175 on a Kate Bush ticket
Or, spending about £300 on tickets and a hotel to see The Knife press play on a CD player and have some students dance on a stage
Didn’t go to see R.E.M. a second time (Loch Lomond, 2005) because they were touring Around The Sun and I’d completely fallen out with them for releasing that turgid excuse for an album
Didn’t go to see Lou Reed on the Berlin tour (Edinburgh Playhouse, 2008) because it was around £50 a ticket, I wasn’t earning much at the time and that seemed very steep
Only seeing the last song or two of Jay Reatard’s set in 2009 because I got the times wrong. He died the year after.
Thanks pal!
Is it your actual birthday?
It is, sadly.
…happy birthday!
brb
Not seeing R.E.M. any of the eight times they played in Ireland that I could realistically have gone to. Thought I’d gone off them. What a fucking idiot I was.

Could have seen radiohead play a gig in a tiny venue just before they released The Bends but i passed cos i had promised this girl i really fancied that i would walk her to a fireworks display that night.
The gig was apparently amazing and the girl, a few months later, ended up going out with my brother.
Saw them do that show at an Irish festival right after David Byrne and St. Vincent played one of the best sets I’ve ever seen. I thought the Knife’s set held its own but I was also just after massively coming up on pingers between the two sets so who can say?
