Back beat, the word is on the street...
So we're a week closer to Christmas and the Oasis 'best of' has been released. The NME have, quite surprisingly, given it the full 10 out of 10. To be honest I think I'll stick with the first two albums and perhaps buy The Masterplan in the Music Zone sale. Not to be outdone though The Beatles have released a 'new' album too. It's the soundtrack to a Vegas show, comes on 5.1 Surround DVD and is, from what I can make out, like a Jive Bunny Mastermix (but without the hand-claps). As for whether it features the previously unreleased efforts of the famed Fifth Beatle, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, I can't say.
*koff*
This way to the cafeteria.. I mean, here's the pick of the gigs listed in the back pages of this week's NME:
White Rose Movement @ The Joiners, Southampton - 26/11/2006
Union of Knives @ Pressure Point, Brighton - 26/11/2006
The Futureheads @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 03/12/2006
Ralfe Band @ The Joiners, Southampton - 12/12/2006
Forward, Russia! @ The University, Southampton - 02/03/2007
Inspiral Carpets @ Concorde 2, Brighton - 07/03/2007
Jet @ The Guildhall, Portsmouth - 10/03/2007
I'll add them into the SoMC's Events Calendar just as soon as I can. Don't forget that the SoMC Events Calendar is just packed with forthcoming local gigs for local people. In order to access this most useful of resources you'll need to be registered on the SoMC forum. Once you've signed on the dotted you can also post up reviews, jokes, plugs or whatever the hell you want to (within reason) on the forum boards. To whet your appetite here's a selection of local gigs I've found on my aimless wanderings across the interweb:
The Bluetones @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 18/11/2006
Flip Top @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - 18/11/2006 (and I've double-checked on The Cellars MySpace to make sure)
Rachel Unthank & The Winterset @ The Anvil, Basingstoke - 19/11/2006
Rodrigo Y Gabriela @ The Dome, Brighton - 27/11/2006
Miss Spanky Wilson & The Quantic Soul Orchestra @ The Consortium, Bournemouth 29/11/2006
Thea Gilmore @ The Brook, Southampton - 18/03/2007
Girls Aloud @ Brighton Centre, Brighton - 29/05/2007
Girls Aloud @ BIC, Bournemouth - 30/05/2007
The Sawdoctors gig at The Brook on 10/12/2006 is also SOLD OUT; luckily they've added a second appearance at The Brook to their tour so you can catch the boys from Tuam there on 08/12/2006. Such is the demand for Steven Seagal's appearance at The Brook on 24/02/2007 that a second, matinee, performance has been arranged for the same day. The question now is, of course, at which point in the proceedings should I explode out of a large cake. Ahem.
On the font of all knowledge that is the forum more things are appearing on the YouTube thread. As the new Bond movie opens tomorrow there's some Bond-tastic clips for your perusal. I may add the cute animation about a Kiwi that I found last night, then again I might not.
That's about it for this week, this afternoon I am mostly listening to The Pineapple Thief, and rather good they are too..
