Nothing like blasting a 5.56mm round through a couple of hapless peoples heads whilst flashblind to cheer you up.

Moving swiftly sideways and since this morning has taken a distinctly band related turn how about a mini-meme of which bands you'd love to see live? I can't reduce my list less than four, so four - for the purposes of this at least - will be the magic number. In probable order of preference, for me at least, these are...

1. Portishead.
Amazingly unlikely ever to reform and play again sadly, their NY concert was absolutely amazing and their coordination of a string orchestra, singing, scratching, drums and a variety of other instruments is completely spellbinding.
2. Pink Floyd.
Just because. Unlikely to play except if they survive to a anniversary number and do a couple of one off gigs, missed their haydays but even so a gig would be good.
3. Duran Duran
Allegedly doing a new album, which will hopefully mean a tour next year, hopefully. Reformed at least and actually playing gigs, which at least gives a better chance than the last two.
4. Red Hot Chili Peppers
Still gigging, still playing and still totally funktastic.
