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.

Foo Fighters, The Astoria
As mentioned before we managed to get tickets to see The Foo Fighters last night.

What can I say – they were awesome.  I was a bit worried when Dave Grohl came on stage and suggested that they were going to play a set for the fans, “something different from what we’re going to play at Reading” – I thought we were in for set of B-sides and obscure album tracks.  Luckily, he actually meant that they were going to skim over most of the recent album and play a greatest hits set.

So you can imagine how good the set was.  It was so good that Annie fainted during the encore and I had to carry her out of the venue.  We are now fully fledged Foo’s fans and King Dave is our new hero.

NME.com have a review and set list here.
