Gigs and Music Events

nice story soul

I must be getting "mushy and emotional" in my middle age, I fear. The moment Bjork appeared on stage I had a feeling that I might suddenly start crying, in a happy way. But I didn't, for which I think son #2 is probably very grateful. It might have something to do with memories of "Birthday" being number 1 in John Peel's Festive 50 all those years ago, and finally seeing her live decades later.

Hehe. I saw Bjork walking down Berwick Street as if she is an actual human person who exists in the real world a few years back. I almost did the old comedy movie double take/eye-rub/throw away bottle maneuver. Shamefully have never seen her live. Imagine I'd react similalry to Ludd if I did. I had something in my eye nearly all through the Joanna Newsom RFH gig in the Ys tour. Managed to surpess obvious physical symptoms from a similar rush of mushy emotion at finally seeing Neko Case being amazing up close at Primavera in Barcalona this summer. Always the fierce ladies with me.

Got tickets to see Bill Callahan at the Southbank yesterday. And Neko at the Forum in December as it happens. W00t.
