I guess thoughts of tomorrow's gig make me wistful because I think In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is the last rock album that completely consumed me. My brain set up camp inside that album and didn't leave it for years and I can't see another album weaving the same spell. Time has eroded the required quota of youthful passion for that to happen. So it will be with a fond but slightly dispassionate heart that I'll watch tomorrow's show, and quietly sing along to those songs packed with all that kinetic, strange, and abstract imagery that once seemed to be the centre of my world.

What a brilliantly succinct post. Think you've chimed with what a lot of people going to this show will feel Darragh. Myself included.
It pleases me to no end that you finally pick a song that has words and tells a story. thought you might have been lost to that electronic fishbowl type music forever. just the other night I had to pull out some classsic vinyl just to get my head on straight. But I do have to say I did find one artist that mixes that electronic sound with an actual story and has a really great CD out David Gray "White Ladder" I think you might like it. check it out.

Even reading pleasure . Thank you.
Thanks Barry.
@anonymous - electronic fishbowl music? Haha I guess you don't enjoy a good 80% of my content these days. But fear not, it happens that there is some guitar driven music on the way over next couple of weeks.
P.S. I really really like one David Grey song but the rest I can't cope with.
