WHAT. A. GIG. The BEST gig I've ever ever EVER been to in my short gig whoring career, spanning a measly 13 years.
The Big Pink were supporting - very nice, melodic ditties but really 'Velvet' and 'Dominoes' are the best of their back catalogue. Hearing a very packed Brixton screetching 'GIRRRLS FALL LIKE DOM-EEEN-OOOOES! DOMINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOES!' is quite exhilarating. I think that it was in fact the most packed it has ever been, when I've been there, for a support act.
Then - the lights dimmed, and on the stage shone 'Un Chein Andalou', the Salvador Dali short surreal film which inspired 'Debaser'. I was so excited!!!! I had studied that film in GCSE art and hadn't seen it since. It's amazing and all these people were watching it!!! (if you're interested, youtube has it in 2 parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqdhsrKkck8)
And as the film rolled to an end, on came the Pixies!!! Yes Kim and Black Francis were a bit chubbier, but still sexy, and the drummer was very tired-looking. Joey however looked sexual and extremely buff. The power of rock welded within him! Anyway...
They all still sounded the same, it was like being in my room with Doolittle on repeat. Amazing. How many people sound like this after 20 years?? With just as much passion. They started with Wave of Mutilation, followed by the B-side version of Manta Ray (odd choice, but still), before belting out classic Doolittle tracks with the energy of a bunch of 5 year olds at playschool. The back screens videos were very well thought out, esp. during 'Here comes your man' where the four of them air drummed and giggled and sang out of sync in the pre recorded videos. Obviously they still enjoy what they do.
Brixton was packed and moshed wildly mostly through the whole set, erupting with ecstacy during 'Debaser', 'Monkey's Gone to Heaven', 'Tame' and 'Crackity Jones'. My fave song, 'I Bleed', was executed perfectly. All in all it left you begging and panting for more, like what I'd imagine making love to Dave Ghrol would do to you.
They bowed to a standing ovation, which left me partially deaf, it was so amazingly loud, leaving the stage with a comedy video playing of them bowing for 5 minutes to appease the crowd.
After serious chanting, they returned to perform an apt 'Wave of Mutilation - UK version' from the B-sides, as well as an amazing version of 'Gigantic' and then left again. After more chanting, they returned with a 2nd encore, of which I couldn't remember, I was too busy moshing.
Oh my god, if only I could have done it all again. Pictures to come soon.

All Quiet on the Western Front
Ahh, hello poppets.
I do apologise for the internet equivalent of tumbleweed this blog has become recently. Unfortunately por vouz et por moi, there has been a gig drought lately; even had to pass up free (FREE!) Animal Collective at Brixton tickets (gnash gnash snarllll) as was otherwise occupied. Mostly with cinema (that damn Tarrantino eh?) Life gets in the damn way of gigging, so I think I'll have to satiate my one follower (heh) with spotify playlists until the well of gigwhoredom starts a-flowin' again.
Gig god bless you, my flowers of musical bliss xxx

Do come along, I urge you, for it'll be worth the 12 English pounds just to hear the chart-friendly delights of 'Guns don't kill people, rappers do', 'Your missus is a nutter' 'Your mother's got a penis' and 'By any means necessary'. Oh and there will be nudity.***
Love to you all, music lovers xxxxx
*if you subsitute 'hot' for 'beer', 'hardcore' for 'pub' and 'action' for 'drinking', you'll be more on the money.
**This may be a fabrication of my sordid mind.
***Maybe. Probably. Perhaps not at all.

The difficult second post
Boy. It has been difficult. Life has not been good to me lately, well, what I mean is, the God of Gigs has SHAT ALL OVER ME AND MADE ME WEEP. July shall now be known as THE MONTH OF GIG FAIL.
I never got to Lovebox because of .......... boyfriend issues. (He lost the tickets. BUM!) I should dump him. Never mind.
I won iTunes tickets to see Friendly Fires and I got the e-mail 5 minutes before the gig started. BUM.
I queued up for Bloc Party and was in the first 100............ but they only let 50 in because famous types like Huw "are you on Twitter??" Davies and That - guy - from - that - shit - Gavin - and - Stacey - show actually turned up (normally VIPs don't do that unless it's like Oasis or something). Oh to be a goddamn VIP!!!!
Then I went to go see A-ha (and what?) - but no-one would go with me (you bastards) and I was too chicken to go Hans (solo).
That being said - Simple Minds were surprisingly good. I almost didn't get to see them, after falling into a perpetual coma of HELL during the (picked by iTunes) support, Vagabond (now named Vaginabond, yes, because they were what a vaginal sealant would sound like if there was such a thing......... *googles vaginal sealant* ewwwwwwww.......... let's forget about this train of thought IMMEDIATELY). But Jim Kerr and the lads were amazing and the place was half empty so the sound was even damn better. They did not 1, not 2, but THREE ENCORES. An audial treat from a band with an impressive back catalogue and (for once) nice die hard fans. And to top it off - a romantical memory for you - I was chauffered there and back by a workmate who was chuffed to bits that I let him be my +1 (yeahhhhhhhh) and as we drove over the Hammersmith Flyover, the sky went brown, "Don't you forget about me" came on the CD Player, and suddenly there was a flash of lightening across that vast open space of sky. It was amazing. A moment that you realise the God of Gigs loves you as only a mother can love her young, and then you realise that if a gig doesn't happen, there's a reason. It's fucking shit, but GigGod loves you.
Hari Krishna. See you lovely beautiful moshy people real soon xxxxxxxxxxx
SIMPLE MINDS SYNOPSIS:
Best song: Oooh - 1. Alive and Kicking (NA NA NA NA NAAAAAAA)
2. (Don't you) Forget about Me (no no no nooooooooooo)
3. Grafitti Soul (from the new ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD album, helpfully entitled 'Grafitti Soul')
Funniest moment: Some random 7ft tall guy with a round blue glo-ball (you can get those???) just standing there shaking it throughout the gig........... some forum thing perhaps?
Best moment: The lightening moment (if you listen to their new stuff you'll see it's doubly poignant)

Gigs To Come:
Christ, that's a lot of gigs, a lot more than I thought!
I have probably missed some too....
As you can see, I have a disease, a need, for gigs and comedy. But I don't want to be cured!
YAY! On with the blog!!
