Right then. Lets have a go at this.
Elton John: Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding

Frank Turner: Love Ire & Song (as an aside, he apparently played his 1520th gig tonight!)

Olympic Opening Ceremony: Caliban's Dream

The National: Conversation 16

The Hold Steady: Constructive Summer

Elbow: Fugitive Motel

Gogol Bordello: Alcohol

Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat: Copper Top

Public Enemy: Harder Than You Think

Public Service Broadcasting: If War Should Come


It'll be different tomorrow. It would be less melancholic if I wasn't at home on a Friday night alone with some scotch, that's for sure.

Remember that it is meant to be music that means something, a marker in your life, not just you favorite tracks. When working on our first house in a lovely spring we played Percy Granger Folk songs and Five Bridges by the Nice and the LSO. 

Just back from seeing a Michael Jackson Tribute band. Not memorable but what fun!

Wasn't that the Flaming Lips (saw them live in Las Vegas a few years ago when they were supporting the Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Yoshimi is an INCREDIBLE album )

Dead right, it is Flaming Lips, and it is a great album.

Honky Tonk woman is the best pop record ever made. The second best is 'Me Myself I' by Joan Armatrading. Third is a more difficult decision.

The 'Fleaberto' is an extension of a very long lasting nickname that went all the way through school and into and through most of my working life - 'Flea' - because I'm a weedy lanky streak, but could run fast in my athletics club: "He's like a flying flea!" said one of my teachers in Oz ..... stuck from there.

I added 'berto' as (apparently) 'Flea' was already taken as a username. How rude  LOL

I'd always read it as flea ber to, as in the size of a piece of timber.
