I thought I'd start today with a rant. I was chatting with a friend earlier today when he mentioned Bruce Springsteen was coming to Cardiff, how much for a ticket? £109.
Why is it that once you've been around a certain amount of time you get to charge absurd amounts of money to put a gig on? It's needlessly greedy bullshit. If you've been writing and performing for as long as 'The boss' has, or the Rolling Stones, or any other pensionable rock'n'rollers and you still feel the need to charge a fortune for a ticket - do the world a favour and fucking retire.
You obviously don't care about your music anymore, just how much money you can squeeze out of it.
Of course people will pay it, and yeah you'll sell out the venue - congratulations.
Music is about sharing something, whether that's just your love of music or a message you think your music carries - if it's either of these reasons, then why charge so much for a ticket?
And if you no longer care for either and are just in it for that 'stage buzz' from performing why does it matter how much you charge? Or do you need the inflated price to make you feel big?
It's not like you're trying to make a living - you're fucking minted!
Go away please, you make me angry.
The beer.
Sierra Nevada - Pale Ale
This beer, is exceptional.
Looks - Nice amber colour, reasonable head. Nothing much to shout about as it ticks the boxes.
Smells - Citrus smells, nice and light - gives the impression it'll go down nicely.
Taste - Goes down nicely! Starts off a little floral sweetness, then becomes a more pine like hoppy taste. Go and buy one at once.
10/10 Another one...damn it.
I wrote this blog listening to Arcade Fire. I like everything they've ever done. Do you ever get that? Where a band just speaks to your experience?
