I got a set of matching badges when I bought my copy of the single in the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street the week it was released…

That is such great news!

What! You are feeling well enough to attend a gig? That’s amazing! I will be there on the 19th!

We were all in the same room at Glasgoes Pop in July!

Ha! I’m slowing down, just the two gigs next week!

Could have sworn Paul was there! Found some pics I took of Editors and Midlake…. I also recall great gigs by iLikeTrains, The Sadies and Guillemots..

Oh, I forgot Midlake and Fionn Regan on the same bill!

I was a regular there and saw so many bands when they first started such as The Editors, The Feeling, Gary Louris, Murder by Death and Young Knives…. I recall you and Paul being at the Pernice Brothers gig!

I saw CRR live in Barfly Cardiff when it came out. It’s the only time I have ever seen a singer stand on a box so they could be seen by the audience. if I recall correctly, the support band that night were a bunch of students from Cardiff Uni called Wave Pictures…. I wonder what happened to them! 😳

Tonight’s matching badges from
Buzzcocks…

One of my favourite albums of the year…

Some crackers in there! Would go for Calexico “Black Light”, Dot Dash and John Grant “Queen of Denmark” but there are many I also have that I would stick on the CD player…

Nice one Dave and thanks for the credit for the ticket photo!

Ha! I have that tape and the magazine it came with! It’s what got me into them! Kevin, guitarist in the band is in The Lovely Basement these days and their new album is great!
