Just about to see Kraftwerk perform Autobahn, first night of their Katalogue Berlin residency. Venue is the Mies Van De Rohe designed gallery which is basically a single story glass box in the middle of the city. Can't wait.

My dad met Mies Van Der Rohe on many occassions when at Harvard studying Architecture, My dad's tutor was Walter Gropius, and Van Der Rohe was a close friend.

True story, if a little irrelevant and self indulgent.

Enjoy the gig, HT.

Anyone going to see Benjamin Booker in February? More importantly, did anyone buy too many tickets? I could really do with one (or two).

I'm envious, but at least can hold on to the memories of Electricity at Tate Modern (2013/14?) and them at the Festival Hall (2004). I'm sure you'll have a great time.

I was at the Festival Hall gig as well.

Please do, I have a lay-mans interest in architecture and am familiar with the Bauhaus history....a school which both Gropius and Mies van der Rohe led.

Friday 14th - Peter Hook & The Light performing a support set of JD "classics" then Low Life and Brotherhood in their entirety (Astor Theatre);
Monday 16th - The Budos Band (Festival Gardens) - the one I'm most excited about;
Friday 20th - Chet Faker (Festival Gardens);
Sunday 22nd - Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks (Festival Gardens);
Monday 23rd - Mogwai, supported by J.Mascis solo and acoustic (Festival Gardens);

Any chance you could increase the size of the pictures? Can't quite see the ears of the people in front of you

I'm led to believe that one of my "how come they're not bigger"'s is supporting Panda Bear on his forthcoming European jaunt.

I give you Jib Kidder, this one reminds me of Beck a bit but he's done a ridiculous amount of stuff ranging from the good to the sublime. Get on board!

This is simply unfair- bearing in mind too the fact that early January is historically quiet for live music.

Looks like a great line up. Worth it for AK/DK alone!

The top 4 in particular shold be a really good finish. I really wanted to make sure there was a variety of sounds and I think we acheieved it. I remember going to 2-3-4 last year, which was good but it felt like 80% garage rock, by the end of it I just didn't want to hear another guitar.

However, there's a whole other day of great stuff that couldn't play - we'll save that for Day Two.
