Re: Where are you off to? Enquiring minds need to know
Went to see Echo and the Bunnymen last night at the Brighton Dome. It was very much a greatest hits affair (with a couple of new songs), which for me was absolutely fine since I've never seen them live before - Lips Like Sugar, The Cutter, The Killing Moon, Seven Seas, Nothing Lasts Forever (somehow...

It looks promising!
What are the server access logs looking like over periods of high CPU? (I'm wondering if bots are triggering multiple searches per second, which in turn puts a high load on mysql)

Re: Ben Christo and levelling up
Yeah, All fair comment. I suppose where I'm coming from is trying to imagine how I'd feel walking onto the stage with Von to try to carry off the gig on Saturday night as Ben did. Like, Chris C is there in the back ground to run the 1s and 0s, but otherwise it's just two people, one of whom is very...

Re: 2023-09-22 The Roundhouse, London, UK
I didn't see any of the drama on the right hand side of the stage with Dylan (only heard about it in the Enterprise after the gig). Very much enjoyed the re-arranged FALAA - almost back to the old arrangement. Von was definitely wandering the barricades on the left hand side of the stage, seemed to ...

Re: Eldritch has become Billy Bragg
My view of AE is that of a Hobbesian Capitalist... very pragmatic and every man for himself. I see very little of the compassionate left in his lyrics.

Re: 2023 set list: your hopes and fears?
Personally I'd like to hear a lot more of the new-new (Dylan Smith era) songs some of the old-new songs (top picks would be Romeo Down, Summer, We Are The Same Susanne) a few songs from the pre-1985 singles (Alice, ToL are probably expected, but a fast Body Electric, a droning Heartland, or a raw Fl...
