Muso-bable
The thoughts and ocassional ramblings of a 30-something muso.
Hello, I’m a muso. I'm one of those guys you see digging around the racks of vinyl in London's backstreet record shops. I'm not addicted, I can give it up whenever I want. I just need to find that limited edition 7" single that the NME made single of the week. Maybe you've bumped into me in the queue for the bar at The Academy or The Astoria. There are thousands of us in London - I've seen all the regular faces in the record shops and at the gigs.

This blog is my attempt to write about the records that I love, the gigs I've been to and, well, anything else to do with music. Hopefully you'll find something here that makes you nod in agreement or rant in disagreement or maybe even laugh.

More About Last Night

Everyone has been talking about last night's Babysambles gig. People at work who normally have no/little interest in music have been asking me about Pete and the punch up. I guess it shows that he is now Grade A media fodder and everyone wants to know about him.

Other people at last nights gig, including Andrew Kendall, one of the only photographers allowed into the venue have been discussing what went on.

For me the most amazing thing about last night was that everyone knew most of hte songs. This band have had just 2 singles released, containing a grand sum of 4 tracks. So how come everyone knows the lyrics? It's probably down to one of the best marketing tools invented - t'internet. Does this mean that when Pete and pals actually get around to putting down the crack pipe and recording some new songs these people won't go out and buy the record? Well that's what the RIAA/BPI etc would have you believe but I'm willing to bet that any album release by Babyshambles will sell like the bucket load.
