I almost wish I'd pulled my finger out and got myself a ticket for Glastonbury this year, the sound of 177,000 people singing along to Shakin' Stevens could well be a life altering experience.
[thinks]
There's lovely.

Portsmouth venue The Cellars hosts two packed sessions of live music this Sunday, 4th May. The afternoon session features live performances from The Bog Rolling Stones, County Line and Eddie & The Earwigs, with Mess-O-Boogie, Manti and The Evil Puppies taking over for the evening. Tickets for each session are £7 in advance, separate tickets are required for each session.
Out Of The Void has organised two Oxjam events at The Hobbit in Southampton; one this Bank Holiday weekend, the second the weekend of the late May Bank Holiday. The first event this Sunday, 4th May, features live performances from Skitanja, JayetAl, The Limes, Shit! Hot Llamas, Magnus Spectrum and My Name Is Billy plus DJ sets from Laptop Dancer, Killblinton, Emo Hunter and Jeremy Waxman. Entrance is free (there is a suggested donation of £2) doors 1300-0100.
The Dawn Chorus and WiLf? will be providing the live entertainment at Waster tonight, with DJs Lemon and Will Chump dropping the best indiepunkelectrorockdance onto the hot wheels of steel. Doors open at Liquid Envy in Portsmouth at 2200, entrance is £1 before 2230 (£2 before 2300, £3 after).
The Hobbit will be alive to the sound of music on Bank Holiday Monday with an all day mini-festival featuring Miles Hunt & Erica Nockalls, Stuart O'Connor, Buswell, Swedish indie outfit The Flaming Moes and rockers King Furnace. Entrance is FREE before 1400, £3 before 1800 (dropping, bizarrely, to £2 after). Last entry is 0100, though DJ Sparky will keep things lively right through until 0300.
Regular club night Funkt-If-Ino will be commandeering The Wedgewood Rooms again this Saturday, 3rd May, for more 'funksoulboogiediscohiphop' supplied by resident DJs Darth Fader, Jabba and 2nd Hand Dan. The famous Games Room will once more be in effect, so you take a break from the boogie to improve your KerPlunk score. Doors open at 2200, tickets are £5 in advance.
The Brass Soul Band and London-based pop-rock outfit Emma King & The Heartsets are the live guests at Roger Courtney's Open Mike Club this week; the regular Open Mike session follows the guest slots at 2200. Admission is FREE, doors open at The Barn at The Milton Arms tomorrow, Thursday 1st May, at 1900.
Put a fork in me, I'm done. This afternoon I have mostly been listening to the harmonica-fuelled beat-boxing of Son of Dave and the humorous stylings of quirky antipodeans Flight of The Conchords. Be sure to join me next week when I'll be trying not so say "it's business time" so much.
Oh yeah.
