Demetri is adorable and damn funny - you obviously didn't give him enough of a chance to get to the good stuff. and Vax - he doesn't do that for the whole show, he basically does that little bit (slightly longer) with a guitar and the rest just normal stand-up. sad that you think that's what his whole show will be, and hoping that's not what EVERYONE thought. I'm also sad that more people didn't enjoy it. don't not go to his show because of it, he's honestly up there with Jason Byrne as the best shows of the fest for me. and those are the only 2 I'm going to see twice. (if I have time.)
and no, he doesn't sing - he just plays guitar to make it more interesting.
I was sad that Jason Byrne didn't do something better than his guy in a box routine - he's so much fucking better than that.
so over the juice bar girl song, Eddie. it was funny for a while but....yeah... umm... MY COW IS DEAD!!!
Bill Bailey was brilliant but they clearly cut him down a bit too much and wouldn't it have been spiffier if he'd done his portishead version of zippedy-doo-da? fuck yeah.
Tripod - I don't get it.. they had 4 new songs for the spinning wheel but they went years back in time for the gala??? whaattt theeeee?? I love my boys, but they really need someone on the outside to choose what they do when they go on TV - 'prostitutes' is funny when it's abrupt in the middle of a show, but not for a one off performance.
the show wasn't overly spectacular, but still.. it's a gala. i thought it was better than last years - mainly because I found last years to be complete crap... *shrugs*
I love Jimeoin's 'half of you are laughing and half of you are going aaaHHhh' about the mic stand thing... I was just thinking. no, Jim, half of them are saying. 'I've heard this about 20 times you twat.' does the guy ever come up with new stuff?
I want more Jason Byrne!!!! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh *grabby hands* |
