nostalgia

I fought it for years but I am now officially a reuinion tour whore. My Pavement tickets wait expectedly in my wallet, and I just purchased Guided By Voices reuinion tickets (40% TicketMaster markup). It's pathetic, and yet I am incredibly excited to see the Pollards and company.

What reunion tours are y'all taking in? Dont lie and pretend you're too cool for the nostalgia circuit.

Pavement.......Pixies (again).........I always see whatever 2/5ths of The Psych Furs are touring .......(the Butlers and whoever the rest are). I'd see GBV though I saw them alot in the past.

I saw the Psychedelic Furs (or rather, Richard and Tim and their sidemen) last month. I'm getting a double-dose and seeing Squeeze and the Beat on the same bill next Sunday.

Apart from The Pixies' return we've got a Blondie/Pretenders double.
Saw The Pretenders a couple of years ago and it was good fun, especially the 19 year old ushers yelling at the 40 year old punters "get back in your seat!"

And don't forget, Robbie Williams has officially rejoined Take That!
New record 2010
World tour 2011

Saw the Buzzcocks last month (and they played "Nostalgia"!) and will probably see the GBV show. Unless my buddy follows through on his offer to pay my way into Pavement, I'll probably skip that one. Killing Joke is playing here sometime in the fall and I'll think about that show.

I already mentioned the Gary Numan show in October (which I'll have to miss, due to work-related travel).

Gonna go see Squeeze + The Beat on Sunday.

Hmmm, as I double-check the schedules, I see there's a Michael Jackson tribute act playing on 03 September. Pity, I'm already busy.

Does this sort of thing count?

My business overseas just got pushed out by a few months. Looks as though I can attend the Numan concert after all.
