Faithless at Brixton Academy Tuesday 11th September 2007
So, I went to see Faithless again on tuesday at Brixton Academy. I was pretty stoked because this is an absolutely tiny venue to be seeing them in, considering their last tour was an arena tour and when I saw them the first time at Global Gathering there were at least 60,000 people in the crowd. This time I was about 20 feet from the band and I was pretty near the back. A word on the crowd at this concert by the way; they were crap. I'm pretty sure I was…

So yeah. Been on a bit of an ebay binge recently, and ended up with a whole bunch of stuff, so I figured I'd talk about all the awesome music I've bought for under £20.

First was Night Works. You may notice I've actually had this album for ages. But shh. This is such a cool album, so you know, I'm happy to have a real copy. Plus the packaging is really really nice. Top tracks would have to be Let The Good Times Roll, Love Story and 2mrw. Incidentally. I've found a couple of really awesome…

Support came from two corners, neither of which I'd heard of. First up was a band called Stateless, who's singer, Chris James, has 2 guest spots on DJ Shadow's new album. They were pretty good. The guy on keyboards was sort of like a bizarre version of Sister Bliss, except rather than euphoric keyboard anthems, it was some slightly unsettling keyboard riffs with some drum machining as well. The Drummer was pretty damn good, played some nice breaks, and the DJ didn't touch a cross fader all night but was pretty damn good at scratching. It came across…

Just because I don't want to read Sartre, have the benefit of my opinion on this matter. From worst to best, for once:

10: Timber
This is a pretty laid back tune, it's gotta be said, but it's fairly groovy, in my opinion. I don't really know what would happen if you tried playing this in a club, but when they played it love it tore the place apart. And Coldcuthave to be in here somewhere, because they practically invented House music.

9: Right Here Right Now
I really hope this is the right track title, but this, in…

Anyone else ever get this? Just recently it's been happening a lot more, but there are just so many songs where some line it just gives me the chills and I'm like… "damn…I wish I'd thought of that"

The main offender at the moment is the fantastic line from Carolina Rain where he says "One night at the diner over eggs/Over easy she showed me the length of her legs". Seriously. How awesome is that line? I just love the way he makes one statement (that he's eating eggs with a girl) flow into another statement (that he has sex…

Yeah, I figure one day I'm gonna feel the need to decide on my favourite albums of 2006, so in aid of this I'm gonna go over the first 6 months odd and get a top 10 of that first. So here we go.

1: Ochre - Lemodie. It was always gonna be hard to top Midsummer Nice Dream, but he managed it. This is just beautiful. It has a cohesion completely lacking from midsummer nice dream (which I suppose I expected) and although not nearly as intense as tracks like Involutionor REM Sleep Research from the former, it…

I held off as long as I could, but the shinyness drew me back to you, last.fm. I simply HAD to do another quiz. But first, just got the new ochre album, lemodie which is fucking amazing. Seriously. No song yet that matches up to the high standards of my favourites from A midsummer nice dream (except maybe Bluebottles or Vegas), but it's not a random collection like that was, so it has more cohesion. Generally it's slower, but you can tell it's gonna be good from the start with 111. Amazing album.

Ok, so I get sidetracked easily, but in the process of looking for recordings of Liz Phair shows, I've managed to download a live set by Ryan Adams, nizlopi and Mogwai and I'm in the process of getting a Godspeed You! Black Emperor set too. Still nothing by Liz Phair though.

Anyway, the Sets as I have them

Ryan Adams' show is awesome, nice to hear some of the newer 2005 stuff live, seeing as I haven't seen that myself yet. Does some really nice things to some tracks especially Magnolia Mountain, but others are slightly ruined by…
