Spot on. They just announced a 2nd show, on the 27th.

Where has this been all my life?! What a stunner. I tell you what though, it's taken the edge off the 'genius' of some of those early Queen records though. I always figured that stuff like Mercury's 'Seaside Rendezvous' and 'Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon' was pretty unique in the rock world. And then...

Yes, Dan, got there in early luckily. Great news on the other shows like this. I was getting despondent that all they would be doing would be festivals. I'm not going to some cruddy field in the English midlands (no, not Villa Park!) for upwards of £70 to see them support some teenagers and wotnot. ...

...actually, 2 good reasons! 1) THURSDAY 28TH MAY - SUPER FURRY ANIMALS Live at 'Sub29'. 2) FRIDAY 29TH MAY - Ex-Nottingham Forest captain John McGovern is the after dinner speaker at the Angel Hotel. Hear all those Brian Clough stories from someone who was there with him... and watch the Barry Town...

I've got a link here that is playing a streaming acoustic radio performance in Real Player.

Question - how can I / can I save this to my pc and then burn to CD?

Other than the KISS show in 1997, I've never seen Skunk Anansie. I was impressed with them then (I adored their first two albums), so I'm keeping my eyes open for more dates.

Super Furry Animals - dark days/light years The greatest Furries album since 'Rings...', Dan. In my opinion, anyway. 'The Very Best of Neil Diamond', 'Pric', and 'Inconvenience' are up there with the best. Shame about the shitty artwork again - despite the Pete Fowler input. The Furries are current...

Can't wait to hear this in Dobly!

Well, KISS only did 75-80 minutes on the Crazy Nights Tour after having a Top 5 hit and 14 years worth of material to choose from. This also included 3 solo spots. Airbourne, for my hard earned money, were terrific. Can't speak for any other night of the tour, but the opening night was tremendous. I...

I saw them in Cardiff on the opening night of their tour and thought they were tremendous. Just a wall of amps, a bottle of Jack, and a slab of Stella for a 'show'. Bloody loud too. They basically did the debut album in a different order with a new track chucked in for good measure. Did I say they w...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7518888.stm Playing the drums for a rock band requires the stamina of a Premiership footballer, research suggests. Tests on Clem Burke, the veteran Blondie drummer, revealed that 90 minutes of drumming could raise his heart rate to 190 beats a minute. Despite rock'...

From the BBC; Roses track to get game release [/size] The first official track to be taken from Guns N' Roses' new album will be released through video game Rock Band 2, it has been announced. Shackler's Revenge, taken from the long-awaited album Chinese Democracy, will feature on the game, to be la...

Dan, the car-park is entrance is Garth Street on that map, just off Adams Street.

Car park charges in Cardiff are excessive - so will need a mortgage! Dan, there's a fairly new car-park built behind the Vulcan pub opposite the prison, before the bridge leading to the CIA. It's an outdoor effort, £1 an hour or £5 for 24 hours. Cheapest there is in Cardiff, and just 100 yards from...

Gruff Rhys, Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, 2005.

I wasn't expecting him to remain seated behind a table for the entire concert, wearing a flashing gum-shield with the lights turned down while playing anything from £3 plastic toy keyboards to a wind-up tweeting bird in a bird cage.

Fantastic though.
