[kj] OT:The Caveman cometh

[Mike Cooper]

Here here, blown away . Although we were seated the sound was awesome and a perfect venue for him in that sense.  Great set list.  Funny comments inbetween songs.  Had the wag of the night sat behind me throughout who continually shouted between songs.  First time I have seen him despite being a fan since Birthday Party and worth the cash.  

Sorry I missed you again Steve - catch up at Bauhaus on Thursday if you are going.

2006 turning into a top year for gigs with Buzzcocks, The Beat, Discharge, Killing Joke (Notts and Brum) and a punk fest with Damned et all and that is all before May.  Costing me a bloody fortune.  BUT LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL AND YOU ARE ONLY NEARLY 40 ONCE!!!!!!

  To Symphony Hall in Brum last night and was superb - possibly the first artiste to grace the impressive stage and utter the word "cunt"!
  backed by a smaller band than the full blown Seeds tour a while back and looking as cool as you can whilst sporting a handlebar moustache.He plundered his back catologue from Tupelo,through Red Right Hand and Stagger Lee (and his brother Henry Lee! )through to the Lyre of Orpheus.
  As one man shouted "Cave yer a genius" Nick replied"thanks for confirming what I've always believed" - and they were right.
  Spotted Mike Gatherer Cooper on the opposite side of row B from where I was at - shame Nicks piano was in the way for you! - but was disappointed to see that he'd forgotten his dinner jacket!!
  If anyone else is off to the remaining nights - you're in for a treat - if not get onto e-bay and get one of the ones up for sale - itll be worth every penny

  just remember "there is a war coming..and it'll be a muthafucka!"
