The Aussie folks have it even better actually! I’m missing out on Slowdive there this weekend.
Snagging tickets here is another issue, it’s virtually urban guerrilla warfare to get tickets to any major gigs. Taylor Swift’s had over a million people in the online queue. Likewise for Coldplay’s, I had queue number 60,000, fortunately they’re playing multiple dates, so I managed to get good tickets.
Still, I can’t complain. Come September I get to catch Post Malone, Kings of Leon, Madness, and Groove Armada at the F1
Bauer Jonathan, Clash Sandinista is the greatest pop/rock/jazz/gospel or how ever it’s classified album of all time. It’s like a musical version of Where’s Waldo. I’m curious if you figured out Mensforth Hill?
One of the advantages of albums is they can be spun backwards to hear hidden messages. The Clash being the Clash had to one up everyone. Mensforth Hill is Something About England backwards. The entire song. What I find fascinating is the vocal “chorus” is undecipherable forward and backwards. At one time I had an iOS app that would play songs backwards but I’m not sure such an app exists anymore. If so, it’s a fun listen.
