Stairway from Heaven

I've been watching too much Grand Designs lately - dreaming of a Modernist German prefab/barn conversion/Georgian townhouse with a lake.

Anyhoo, if i ever get one it's gonna have these stairs.

Low Expectations

Saw Patrick Watson at Scala last night. There's pretty much nothing i can say that would do the performance justice.

It really was one of those gigs.

Patrick Watson standing on a chair in the

middle of the crowd singing without amplification.

After the support (Miracle Fortress's Five Roses was one of my records of the year last year, seen them twice now and they're a little loose live - still, they're about 12 years old too so they'll have plenty of time to get things together) we were in the smoking area and got chatting to Patrick - charming fellow, albeit a bit mad. Sean sarcastically said that we had low expectations of the gig so he shouldn't feel pressured. This went on to be a bit of a theme for the performance ending with the band 'improvising' a song called Low Expectations.

If you want to hear him sing buy Close to Paradise or go here
