I AM SO SAD

i had the exact money saved, like down to 5pences, to go and see PASTELS/TENNISCOATS and Veronica Falls in Stereo this week.

i have the f*****g poster on my wall, and i was SURE it was Friday the 4th of September. but NO i got it wrong, it was WEDNESDAY the SECOND. :( 

i just stumbled across a mini review today (3/9/09) telling me how great it was and how there were little fanzines made especially for the event and my heroes Belle and Sebastian were in attendance....... made me want to cry briefly. 

i keep missing so many good little 'gigs' in Glasgow, i used to be a little venue whore, at all of them. i guess that was when i put effort into my job. but then i got lazy and my paycheck sort of halved each month until now i get roughly £180 a month ha...... lazybones.

but a lesson has been learned:

ALWAYS double check the date on the poster of an event you really want to attend.

ALWAYS try to work a bit harder in wor..... no scrap that one.

ALWAYS wear glasses.

end.

September the somethingth- I go to see The Pastels in Stereo

December the somethingth- Vic Godard & The Subway Sect in Stereo

some might say, these 4 artiztes are 'hasbeens' but for I, they are, ''willalwaysbe's'' and I am very excited, yes i am.

Edwyn Collins - A girl like you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzUuj-3BG58

Subway Sect - Ambition http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwgpWojUC_4

The Pastels - Crawl Babies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shnXuSP8pPs

Talking Heads - Burning Down The House http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A6ar44Ecec

the edwyn collins one is the BEST.
when i went to see him last time, Roddy Frame from Aztec Camera was on guitar, Edwyn can't play guitar anymore because of his stroke, but i hate guitar solos and show offs, but Roddy fucking killed it during A Girl Like You, i was so amazed, I had never ever seen anything like it before, in the flesh. It was truly amazing.

The End.
