Saw Shed Seven last night, the first time since the 90s. They are still great live and Ricks's voice has held up well, looking forward to seeing them at Wychwood next year.
somebody hacked this account me thinks.
Macca and Michael would say differently if there was a real argument about "bigger". Why is Beatlemania still being examined 60 years and counting? Taylor cured the planet with her music after a president got assassinated? Thought so. Billboard had it right when they gave Beyonce best artist last 25 years when they said that Taylor only sells but Beyonce actually had an impact on the culture. I mean putting thousands of people into crippling credit card debt should not be seen as an act of valor.
I am hoping that Nelly Furtado plays before Vampire Weekend as she has a few songs I like but doubt I would ever pay to see her own show. Although, as @northernangel has pointed out surely Last Dinner Party would be rammed at the Castle and the obvious place for them to play is as common sub.
I also think Madness would be rammed against QOTSA but that seems very likely.
I have to admit I prefered it years ago when they used to name who the Castle headliners where going to be on the poster early doors. It cut out all the guessing and assumptions. A few years back when Mumford played, from the positions and font size, I would never had guessed Marr would be Castle headliner, I assume every one else bottled it.
