The boyos always put on a fantastic show and if you're a good person there is sometimes aftershow hot hardcore action* to be had with the skantily clad** lads. The best thing to come out of Newport since the M4!!!
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)
