I got me two shows coming up later this year - Damien Leith first, a beautiful Irish singer-songwriter and Meat Loaf later in the year.

Coldplay was the best

But The Ark was amazing too, and Paolo Nutini and Brandon Flowers were very good too

BTW: I asked you a question in your trade topic a while ago.

They're a pretty ridiculous Swedish glam rock band, but holy shit, they were awesome live!!!

This is their farewell tour, they're in their thirties and I think all of them have families now with kids and doesn't want to tour anymore.

This is one of their best songs:

And this is a hit (that gets annoying but was awesome live):

And they once got to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest with this:

I'll check those out as I always like to hear new bands. Got myself a few new albums the other day on clearance - and I tried Amazon but god are they expensive on shipping. $8 for a 1c album...I say fuck that - I'll stick to eBay or clearance sales.

I'm not really fan of The Ark, but the live show they put on was awesome, the singer was such a showman!

I've noticed that with a lot of bands....their music isn't the best, but they do a great show and really make it entertaining. Not new manufactured crap - Lady Gaga is about the only really new one doing something awesome even if most of her music isn't much chop, although I liked Born This Way, the album - but they are great showpeople.

That sounds odd but it's true.

I woke up at 3AM (:o) in order to study, and it has been completely useless. Tomorrow I have my last exam until September so... I'll take a short nap, see you all in a while

Hope you done well in the exam, man. Good luck for tomorrow as well!

Terrible at the moment and not able to do much with it after four days of work straight. Although I may try it again eventually....have a few new songs I'd like to do with some harmonica that I came up with. No idea when but it's just too high at the moment to reach any low notes.

Sorry to hear that. Mine is a little rusty, after the festival this Tuesday, but much better than I thought it would be after the festival. I guess it must be because of good technique, cause I sang my heart out a lot.

It actually sounded alright a while ago, have to upload something later.
