Went to see Peter Gabriel last night at Wembley Arena. Hats off to the geezer. Not a bad show at all. Shame the actual venue is a pile of shite.

I wish more artists would move out of these sort of venues, with crappy fold down seats, narrow aisles. No room to get up and dance, having to go out of the area to get a beer, not being able to surge the front of the stage. Not being able to smoke.

AND. I had to fucking leave before the end so I could get my last train out of london. How fucking sad is that. 11:30pm is the last train out of London down to Kent. What a fucking pile of shite. Its laughable. A major capital city and the fucking trains stop at 11:30pm, and even then I had to fucking get a taxi coz it didnt go all the way to my station.

No wonder people drink drive.

Anyway, Pete was good.

I read somewhere that The White Stripes have made a big issue about the fact they used old analogue recording technology on their latest track, to give it a distinctive sound.

How ironic then, that I should use the latest in digital peer to peer file sharing technology to download it off the net for free !

And it was shite.

Well, I have to preface this by saying I'm a huge fan of drummers who are there to keep the band grounded with a solid, steady, backbeat. I'm not a Neil Pert fan. That said...

Ringo Starr comes to mind. The Beatles became superstars with a simple 4x4 backbeat.

Charlie Watts (with the Stones, not The Charlie Watts Quintet) also comes to mind. Of course. you can't expect Charlie to get too complicated when he's with the Stones. Might distract him from choosing the night's twenty year old groupie. ;)

I get fed up with drummers who cant do any hi hat work, or leave the fucking thing open all the time and whack it in 4/4. Its bland, and sounds lazy.

Vinnie Coluita, best drummer I've ever heard. With Stewart Copeland coming in a very close second.

x, entertaining, but surely it just shows if you listen to enough stuff backwards you're bound to hear something intelligible and relevant eventually. Have you come across the psychophon?
