An opportunity play catch-up

In the interests of catching up with things I like I've just bought tickets to see genius guitarist and grumpy old songwriter Michael Chapman in Aldershot on Friday night and genius band responsible for the best album in my collection British Sea Power in Reading at the start of November.

I've been wanting to see both live for a long time now, so I'm really glad I've actually got my act together and done something about it.

No, you're just one who has yet to see the light. The first British Sea Power album is the best thing ever recorded by anyone ever, but it takes a vast amount of listening in. I ignored it for about a year after I got it before I realised how totally amazing it is in every respect. It even has the best artwork of any album ever made. Just thinking about it sends a shiver down my spine, when I listen to the songs they are so amazing they make my feet go cold.

Not been so impressed by their newer material, the second album was a sorry disappointment after "The Decline of..." but word is the third will perhaps be back to the slightly darker and richer textures of their debut. It is believed there will be a song on it called "lights out for darker skies" which bodes well.
