Spambots

After suffering a repeated bout of comment spam all week, that's buried the few legit comments under screeds of carpet cleaning advertorials, I've changed my settings. So this will hopefully fool the 'bots and free this section up for the loyal core of readers...ahem.

Having got the geek over with, am free to report on the Eels show last Sunday. At this point, I think I have to say that despite being early ticket buyers, Donna and I are not the most organized concert goers. Needless to say, the venue changed and we had no idea. Luckily we wandered past the St James on our way back to the car and realised it was on there. We were late anyway, as we thought the Sneaks were supporting and didn't really want to see them play.

So when we did arrive about an hour late, everyone was seated at tables. This didn't impress much. We sat with some randoms for awhile but moved up to stand at the back like a real concert. This was better. The set was good, they played a few favourites from Shootenanny, and a lot from the new double album. But I couldn't help thinking that I would have loved to have seen them tour an earlier album.
