The Pipettes are similar, so last.fm claims, to Belle and Sebastian and Camera Obscura. I like them, so I thought I'd give The Pipettes a go, seeing as I was stuck, bored and lonely and had few other options.

On arriving at the Roundhouse (which looks like a nice venue) I did notice that everyone seemed to be walking around in twos…someone of around 16 years old and someone of about 45. Everyone seemed to be accompanied by a parent, suitably attired in parental grey jackets, shirt and ties.

But they were playing DJ Shadow on the PA so…

We only spoke once
A conversation - 1994
I think you were being punished
For something you had done
I remember I said
"Neville McKee is picking on me,
He always does"
Narcissism was always my strong point.
I know you replied but
It's been lost in the mists of time
You smiled at me politely the next day
I smiled back
But we never spoke again

So why have you been haunting my dreams?

I saw your face in a magazine
The 1998 beauty queen
Wondered what you were doing
A lot can happen in 10 years
At least I know you're not dead

I wanted to call you up
To tell you I'm sorry
And to say goodbye.

10k - Moron

Wednesday, 1155pm
"Of course she's not here, it's New Year's Eve"
I go outside to clear my head
Out the gate
3 roads, left, right, straight on.
I don't know where to go, so
I lie down in the middle of the junction
There won't be any cars coming
They never pass by here
Especially not on New Year's Eve

Saw Radiohead in Dublin last week. 5th time in the last 9 years. More times than everyone else I know, but pales in size compared to the people who follow them around the planet.

Dublin 1997 - RDS: OK Computer had just been released a week before. Don't remember much, but I remember being blown away. The energy that even the acoustic songs from The Bends had amazed me.

Aberdeen 1997: A good gig, but they claim they were tired cos it was the last night of a world tour. The energy was still there.

Dublin 2000: Kid A had…

Well, after hearing some Tegan and Sara on here and seeing So Jealous today I thought I'd buy it, cos they'd sounded quite nice.

On reading the first page of the inlay I thought, wow, these lyrics are really good:

You wouldn't like me
Take me anywhere
I bet it stung
I know I know I know
Where does the good go
Downtown
I won't be left
Walking with a ghost
So jealous
Speak slow
Wake up exhausted
We didn't do it
Fix you up
I can't take it

It was cryptic, mysterious, hidden, lots to read between the lines,…

I go out walking
Late at night
Where there's life and noise
I don't feel so alone
I found a pen and wrote
This down on paper in the middle
Of an empty street.
Its starting to rain & the music
In my head keeps playing
All those song I want you to know.

Tonight I saw The Evens play. They're super nice people and very nice music too.

Tomorrow night it's off to London to see Sigur Ros. Third time, but I'm not on the guest list this time.

Dunno why I'm saying this.

I don't believe I have a Coldplay track in my playlist. I leave the radio running for a few minutes and blam…there it is when I come back.

They say you can delete it using the profile editor, but from further investigation they appear to be lying.

So the next best thing I can do is tag it as "shit"
