Thank you for the videos!!
So, uh... Scandal is a Heartland story, right? Is there a transcription of the lyrics anywhere? I hear talk of cabbages.

Thanks so much for that recording Jules. Sounds/looks awesome.
As for the lyrics, there have been guesses in the past, but nothing solid. I love singing along, but am never sure what that word is... I don't think it's cabbages, but something very similar. To me it sounds like "caddages", but that's obviously not a word.
I really hope the Great White Noise records this one day.

Hm, I can't remember specifically. I'm short, brownish hair, fringe, etc etc, wearing a plaid shirt and cardi.  Anyway, what did you make of the show and the infernal support act? PS. There ought to be a rule about tall people not being allowed at the front...  I didn't mind Next Life actually, I've been exposed to far too wide a range of music to judge purely on genre. I was surprised how many people either didn't know there was a support act, or had no clue who they were, am I the only person to be sad enough to do research before hand? and pshhh I was in line 30 mins before doors were due to open |

The line is "All that they want to burn down are cottages, cottages" at least that's my best shot at the lyrics for now. |

I always heard "All that they have are carriages, carriages, batten them down," but I'm really terrible at deciphering lyrics.
Either way, I am so insanely pleased that he's playing this again. Also, I must admit that I got a little bit giddy when the song started and I realized that he hadn't made any major changes.

I those were the lyrics that I favoured as well, well at least those were the ones I was mouthing that night I just always pictured it as some sort of Dick Turpin thing, carriages racing through a forrest, but the lyrics are so tricky that's probably ALL in my head |

Instead I arrived just in time to catch their entire set. I don't mind because Owen more than made up for that, but when you compare that to Lightspeed Champion, Nico Muhly, Sam Amidon and Beth Orton supporting when I saw him at Union Chapel in Jan... |

I have to agree that concert was one of the most memorable experiences in my life (sad I know)
But you have to remember it was fitting the venue(s) concerned as well, I think both choices for support reflected that.
And in next life's defence, for the music they produce, they're damn good at it :')

I suppose so, I just can't stand their style of music, no matter how good they are at it. I agree about the venues thing, Koko is very different to Union Chapel, and I'm glad I got to go to both.

And just for the record, even standing was more comfortable that sitting in a pew for 2-3 hours >.< This is clearly why I'm an atheist!

'their entire set' lasted fifteen minutes! i can only imagine what you'd have made of the acts playing with owen when he organised the maximum black festival |

Maximum Black was great (Dirty Projectors! Frog Eyes! Owen!), except for that cello chappy and his friend who were, and I wasn't alone in thinking this, self-indulgent and unlistenable.
But with normal gigs, like Koko, a support act is just a support act, so it's not like they ruined the gig for me or anything like that.
