I went to see Marilyn Manson at the Civic last night. It was pretty good considering he spends the show in a wheelchair/on a crutch.
The highlight of my night though was walking past Miles Hunt as soon as we walked through the doors to the Civic. He may be old and not particularly famous but I still got starstruck :icon_lol:
Changed it up a bit from when I saw him a few years ago.
He spent most of the night either putting on or taking off coats and then spent a good chunk of time insulting a pretty un-responsive crowd, he played a few songs in between but he did appear to be massively off his tits throughout.
You need to remember that you, and the rest of the audience are now OLD! :icon_wink:Yeah, I saw him last time he played here and I don't think he was totally with it then. He was better last night, although with his leg broken in 2 places I guess he was less likely to be off his tits! Considering it was a sell out show, I did think the crowd could have been a bit livelier though. Hardly any jumping around, they just sorta stood there throwing their arms in the air a bit (of course, I saw all this from the comfort of my seat in the balcony!)

As a means of blocking out the awful "songs from the musicals" radio the girls in the office have put on, I'm working through various internet Best of 2017 lists on Spotify.
Favourites so far:
Idles - Brutalism
Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds from Another Planet
War on Drugs - A Deeper Understanding
Richard Dawson - Peasant
Protomartyr - Relatives in Descent
Alvvays - Antisocialites
Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile – Lotta Sea Lice
Mount Eerie – A Crow Looked at Me
Julie Byrne - Not Even Happiness
Priests - Nothing Feels Natural
Seems I'm still mostly drawn to white people playing guitars!
great stuff - love the proto and priests albums. proto are lined up for a UK return next May too.
i can prob get a cd done and sent to you before new year if you guys want that. i don't remember anyone commenting on the summer one though - was it $#@!e?
i had japanese breakfast on last year's, but a quick listen to the new album didn't entice me this year

Would anything off the new Total Control lp be on there?:nod:
I'm sure it wasn't $#@!e - I just struggle to listen to CDs if I'm not in the car, and I rarely drive anywhere these days, and almost never with people who'd appreciate your music :icon_wink:
Out of those listed, I think the Idles one might be my fave. A bit like Sleaford Mods with tunes! The Mount Eerie one is a pretty awesome record too.
