the magnificent miss murphy

I went to see Róisín Murphy last night (review in Grau tomorrow). She was WONDERFUL and her hats were FABULOUS. I know she's a long-time poptimist favourite but I don't think we've actually talked about her much, so shall we? Her album is one of the best of the year - my favourite is 'Tell Everybody', omg that was so good last night, she did it as the encore. And there are so many parallels with Gwen Stefani: platinum blonde MILF ex-frontwomen of 'alternative' acts who hit big late in their career, now embracing pop and offbeat couture for their solo careers.

dammit why didn't Alix and I go to this gig like we wanted too (well her more than me because i hate gigs ;) but if i was to go to one it probably should've been this).

it reminded me of why I hate gigs as well tbh - when we got in, to our left was a MASSIVE CROWD for the bar, to our right a MASSIVE CROWD of people looking at the stage. from where we were we could barely see anything. just shit, really. I can deal with massive crowds as long as I don't have to queue in them, or push through them, or see over them.

I would've wanted a seat so I have the option of that if I don't want to dance (to hell with the people behind me).
