The Sage, Gateshead - Monday 7th April
something similar happened in Birmingham, when she asked for Kate Gordon. No other happened, but it was a nice moment ! May I ask you where you was ? I was there, about 7 rows back in the centre, but my brain just refused to react until she'…

The Sage, Gateshead - Monday 7th April
Waking up the morning after I feel a mixture of a happy glow from that moment (mixed with parts feeling like an idiot for letting it pass me by) and a big grin from such an excellent show. The sound quality was probably the best I've heard the…

The Sage, Gateshead - Monday 7th April
I have not a clue! The whole thing is a mishearing wrapped in puzzlement and covered in a whole heap of randomness. I'm signing off for now as I also missed the last Metro home having stood back of venue for a bit just in case. 4 miles walking…

The Sage, Gateshead - Monday 7th April
.....and the last Metro home too! Yrs, Alison said ''Is there an Andrew Beeston in tonight?'' and my brain thought she couldn't possibly have said my name and I must have misheard. Then, after the show, thathurt confirms th…

I'm there tomorrow night...... Might see you in the venue - I've got my vintage grey Danish Army jacket on and the bit above that looks like my avatar but in colour!

The Sage, Gateshead - Monday 7th April
Just heard that bibs (Liz) may be stuck in Durham due to a track and signals failure so might miss the show! How rubbish is that for her! I'm at venue and have already spent silly money on a signed tour print. Like there was ever a chance tha…

Kate Bush - Before the Dawn (was the spoiler-free thread)
On a side tangent, any of you KB fans that either missed out first time or were waiting for it to be cheaper, the 3 CD version of Directors Cut is back in HMV for £9.99 I've only seen the single CD for a while so thought it was worth a mention…

I've just heard from Liz (bibs) that she's going too which is always excellent news. Meeting somewhere in the afternoon for a mini GMB "Tea & Cake" soiree would be excellent if possible.....?

UK Tour 2014
Have to say this is some of the best sound I have heard from the band during this album "era" if you will....... Glad to read the gigs are so enjoyable for all! That's why I'm really excited for Gateshead. The Sage is in the t…

What`s the last film you watched ?
I only have part 1 showing presently. Are they supposed to come simultaneously? I think it seems to be that some places get a launch with the whole four hour showing then a staggered pair of runs with parts 1 & 2 showing separately. Definitel…

@hunter - wow. Putting that scenario with that film gives me no surprise about the outcome you had. That's a full on collision right there! @stevil - went to the one of the UK première cinemas linked by satellite for the "One Night Stand&…

What`s the last film you watched ?
Is 'The Fountain' the one with what's-his-name and the tree and the big bubble? I loved that one, and I keep meaning to watch it again. Yep, is indeed. I love the recursive and cyclic nature of it. Takes some doing to pull that off. …

Will do for sure. I even love "The Fountain" so I think I'm hopefully liable to come out on the positive side.

When Alison was our "Auntie". Such a wonderful time.

Sexy Women
Nic Endo. Have always found her utterly alluring..... .....and when she kicks off, all sonic guns blazing, she's sexier still....

Will love to know what you two make of Under The Skin - I've now been to see it three times and I'm still very much enraptured by it. I've just booked for the chunky 138min of Noah on the IMAX tomorrow afternoon. Read a review that d…

Back from seeing Under The Skin for the third time. Just something about it that keeps dragging me back and won't let go. Amongst other things, I think it's the use of those wonderful held-for-almost-too-long shots. It's one of the br…

Went and saw Noah last night. Can't stop thinking about it. A beautifully shot film with some great performances and spectacular set pieces and scenery. The film is overflowing with images, ideas and emotional explorations of theology and the m…

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
Avoiding the thread not due to rudeness but more to enjoy the show later in the tour spoiler free. Had nearly too much fun, you lot!

The score was superb. It would be interesting to listen to it on headphones whilst walking along the streets of Glasgow! I bought the soundtrack cd and have done just that around Newcastle two days after seeing the film - it's a very odd feel…

^ Oh, it will not be a new performance. Strictly speaking it shouldn't be billed as 'live' this time. But very much worth seeing (again) :-) Yeah, it will be them playing live.....but in the past. I think I've just confused my…

'Thea' remixes announced
Does anybody know of anywhere selling the WAV or Flac versions? Buying them from Apple in their crappy format is at the bottom of my list of preferences so I'm exploring any other options first!

Comment by The_Carpathian March 2014 permalink
RAAAAAAANTTTTTT!!!!
Yep, I'd certainly expect a definite reaction either way with Under The Skin, rewak - a la mine & Alison's for example. Quite a few folks I know have been so far and it's running at about 2/3 blown away and 1/3 blown a raspberry!…

Vangelis -Blade Runner soundtrack... still amazing!! Embarrassingly, although I loved the Blade Runner soundtrack from the moment I saw the film I'd never checked out any of his albums at all until earlier this year when the first raft of rem…

Kate Bush - Before the Dawn (was the spoiler-free thread)
People of a certain age need to brace themselves for my following comment. It'll make you creak and reach for your zimmers. I work with somebody young enough that they just asked "Who's Kate Bush? Would I know anything by her?" …

^^ I've recommended DD to many friends over the years and most give a fairly predictable "FOUR HOURS....for a documentary extra?!" response.....but most have later tried it and really engaged with it. It flies by and it feels half i…

Twitter died for a short time after the news hit so the ticket site will reeeeeeally need to be resilient!

I tried to watch most of the Oscar Nominees from this year. Apart from Nebraska and Gravity a total waste of time, for me at least. So very pleased to see Nebraska getting another mention. Such a wonderful movie - warm but still with some nice spik…
