My gigography

Getting there with my gigography now, a list of every gig I've been to, from 1987 up to last year. It's a natural progression from my Best Gigs Ever post. Well that's the theory, but there's A LOT missing. I have chucked in details from the big bag o...

Never Going Nowhere

Well this is a cheery little tune from the Bluetones, though the subject matter is a bit sad. It's a song saying "you're chucked", but nevermind. You can hear snippets of The 'Tones earlier work, it's nice indie pop, then towards the end it starts ge...

Buffseeds / Bluetones... Blueseeds? Bufftones?

Listening to the debut Buffseeds album The Picture Show right now, and first impression is that it sounds a bit like JJ72 and a lot like the Bluetones... not their livelier tunes, but the more whistful and melancholic stuff definitely...Anywyay, it's...

Are you blue or are you a racist?

The Bluetones last night (at Sound in Leicester Square) were good enough to make me forget about their recent racist remarks furore, which must be an achievement. They played a mix of old and new, a few tracks of each album, but concentrating on the ...
