Brilliant Radiohead

Saw Radiohead in Paris Friday. Brilliant. A very intimate show, despite 12000+ attendants. Toms vocals incredibly good, nice set and great atmosphere.

Set list here.

Stones Roses return with Danish

So the Stone Roses are resurected.

Wish I could say that I'm excited, but I'm not. It's a bit like The Matrix: when the sequells came (and sucked) it retrospectivley gave the original movie a bad feeling.

So far the only positive effect is that I discovered that the Raveonettes have covered I wanna be adored.

The End of the National

It's a bit like that incredible Amarone you drink at your friend's dinner. Casually opening that reasonably priced Zinfandel the next day just doesn't cut it.

When I saw The National in Europe they gave me a sensation that their recordings can't match: after the concert I couldnt't listen to the records for a while.

This time I was in the company of a couple that (despite a Spotify invite) never bothered to listen to the music in advance, so we listened to them a bit the following day. Quite nice, even though most of the conversation centered around their final number.

Their closing act is really quite a fabolous thing. They gather the band center front  and play unplugged (completely). Appart from singing along the audience needs to be completely silent (as you'll notice in this clip).
