Not bothered with this for a while because I was conscious of the fact that I was just whinging.
Fun though it is, man cannot live by whinge alone (although Mrs B reckons I make a pretty good try).
The problem is though, that if i'm not in work for a long period of time I seem to go nucking futs.
Went to see Guillemots tonight. The microphone fellah said that it was the biggest crowd they'd ever headlined to, personally I believe him because it would be a crap boast if not true! Mainly went because Mrs B has fallen in love with the album, but I was really impressed by the way that they seem to have maintained a joy in what they're doing. Somehow "a good time was had by all" is more meaningful if you can include the people on stage, just one of many reasons why an Oasis gig will always be shite.
Pessimistically I don't think that Guillemots will improve throughout their career, I think that the first album might be their apex (cf Smashing Pumpkins, Puressence, Gomez, NIN etc etc), but I would really recommend going to see 'em.
Had to spend the gig standing leaning against the wall or sitting on the floor, but as I tried to explain to Mrs B, I was going to be uncomfortable wherever I was, so i'd rather be uncomfortable there than in front of some shitty TV show.
