Musical Misery
Gigs // Jim // 4th October 2006
First it was The Young Knives rapidly selling out the poxy Academy 2 and forcing me into the hyper-inflated world of Ebay (my arse is still sore from paying for the last lot of tickets I got there). Now my nightmare is compounded by the release of the Art Brut tour schedule. Are they playing anywhere round here? Anywhere even vaguely nearby? Are they fuck.
The closest is either Manchester or Reading, the most likely is London, or possibly even Paris. I can only hope that this boycott of the Midlands is not due to the unfortunate confusion at the bar the first time we saw them in Birmingham. If so can only apologise.
And could I buy the Beck album in Woolworths today? No. No I fucking couldn't, not even after a ten minute wait in a queue listening to some Bon Jovi attrocity blaring out with Steve hanging around - a seething mass of indignation. Get to the counter with the box and after another ten minutes, the two rocket scientists on duty realised that Beck was probably filed under "B" and then that they had sold the one copy that they had.
No wonder they're going to the wall.
