....spending 130 euros on concert tickets before breakfast. No idea why, but Jarvis tickets are already on sale, despite Paradiso's site proudly disclaiming they're on sale Saturday next week. I was lucky to stumble across it while waiting for the Isobel Campbell/Mark Lanegan tickets to go on sale. Funny thing that, I thought this kind of thing only happened in Ireland. So I bought 4, thinking maybe I'll flog some to cover expenses (oh, bad puppy!), but then I already have a couple of friends interested in coming as well, so maybe we'll make it a party instead.
On top of that, the Campbell/Lanegan ticket and I just spotted John Cale will be playing the Netherlands as well. I don't think I can be bothered seeing him at Vredenburg with it's capacity of 2000, but seeing him Patronaat will be great.
Razorlight also have some new dates, but the closest is also Vredenburg, and I just found out they're supporting Muse in Antwerp, so I think that may satisfy my needs.
So tickets I still need to buy are for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, The Magic Numbers and Bonnie Prince Billy (Vredenburg again, blah).
And while I was doing all this I noticed a large banner on Ticketmaster's front page saying how unfortunately tickets for Scissor Sisters would not go on sale today yet as mentioned before, due to technical difficulties with the tour. What the fuck? I didn't even know they were coming! Maybe I really should start reading more Dutch music forums or something.
I think I just outshone myself when it comes to stupidity.
I know I bought a ticket to see Joan As Police Woman in Patronaat somewhere before I went to Dublin. I distinctly remeber spelling out the name to the girl behind the counter in the post office, and feeling like a right plonker doing so. I also remember the total amount was, like, 16 euro or something...
...the only thing I can't remember is where I put the damn thing.
I found my Cat Power ticket this morning and just bought a Nina Nastasia ticket at the post office, but had the worst deja vu feeling about the JAPW ticket.
So where the fuck is it?
On a different note altogether. The Nina Nastasia ticket came to EUR8,65 including service charges. Now that's a great price. Girl at the post office said I was lucky, because it was almost sold out. Not surprising, considering the price and the little place in the Paradiso only holds about 150 people.
Oh, wow. Just checked the Paradiso site, and guess what... The Drones are playing this coming tuesday at the little place in the Paradiso too. I'd been meaning to check them out and way hey, going to the gig is actually cheaper than buying the cd. Nuts. Will have to leg it, since I'll be coming straight in from Leeuwarden though. Then Teddy Thompson is playing the Paradiso Nov 1 & 2 supporting Lucinda Williams. Wouldn't mind seeing him, but I can't be bothered with Lucinda Williams, really. And god, MC5 on December 5. I know for fact that some of those are actually dead, so what's the story? I may check them out just for kicks. Sadly, Razorlight on December 6 is sold out.
Oooh... and Kashmir November 8 in the Melkweg.
Why on earth did everyone collectively decide on November to tour?
AND WHERE IS MY JAPW TICKET? Damnit.
