Booked a ticket to see Aldous Harding in Liverpool in December.
If the weather behaves itself, Charlatans and Primal Scream on the pier.

Madness with Mrs Jones tonight, ah lovely
Iāll be at Snow Patrol and The Cure in Malahide Castle next Friday and Saturday. *
Let the haters hate.
- where is best place to go for a pint or two of bubbly Guinness poured with a press of a button into a wet glass after the gig to let the crowds die down before making my way back towards the city.
Enjoy pal. Be comfortable in your own skin.
(Snow Patrol have a couple of great songs)

I hate when acts you donāt want to see get added to bands you want to see. I hated paddy Casey and the thrills and saw them each about three times one summer as they were handed the support act for any concert I went to.
Snow patrol are bland but not as bad as either of the above two and I wouldnāt mind sitting through them. Inoffensive TUM type material.
I know what you mean pal. The Kooks are supporting Snow Patrol and I have no grĆ” for them. But I find if I want to avoid a support act I can just go a bit later to the gig.
Are Snow Patrol still dining out on that āI predict a riotā song?

This was over 10 years ago and I was young and enthusiastic and wanted to be up the front. I remember being in the front row for the rolling stones and sickened at suffering through those thrills cunts.
I would prefer The Thrills to Snow Patrol.

This is unreal now ā¦ Rosenstock predicted the future in his caricature of the Thrills ā snowflakes speaking in American accents ā¦ thatās practically anyone under 25 these days,.
Funnily enough I will see the Kaiser Chiefs on Sunday pal who do a great cover version of that Snow Patrol song pal.
Snow Patrol are better known for their cover version of the Leona Lewis song Run.

I have noticed weāve largely lost regional accents in anybody outside Dublin under 25. Canāt blame a lad not wanting to have a Dunleer or Limerick accent and want to be taken seriously.
All accents are great and should be preserved.

A real sign of weakness if a person loses their accent

Lads from the likes of Wexford and Laois and Leitrim moving up to Dublin and losing their accent in a week.
Mrs OāSullivan gets very embarrassed at weddings/functions when all the RoCo crowd are pronouncing their words correctly and then I pipe up in front of all her rich friends calling everyone ākidā - fuck em.
My father in law is from the Wesht but has worked in Dublin for 40+ years as a bus driver.
People say that his West of Ireland accent has grown stronger in that time.
