We had a friend who had tickets to the UK, to see them play ... he just lost his job, girlfriend and lease ended at his rental ... all in a week ... he just had to sell his tickets and cancel his flights. Blur is to him, what Smashing Pumpkins is to me. My heart hurts looking at that setlist, knowing how much I would have enjoyed it ... then I think what it would have meant for him. Shit.

I think you've mentioned that friend before, that is terrible Sunks. Hopefully all the talk is true and we may even see them here at some stage.
I've read about a lot of Aussies travelling over just for this, would have been fantastic.

After word got out that prolific icon Tori Amos would visit Australia in summer, a round of shows have been confirmed. Amos has been always been warmly welcomed down under, with her last tour in 2007 stretching over 11 nights.
She recently released her tenth studio album Abnormally Attracted To Sin, reasserting her sizeable talents as a songwriter. Amos is equally accomplished as a performer. As FasterLouder’s reviewer wrote of her theatrical run at Sydney Opera House two years ago: “This show felt so very full; plenty of light and shade, plenty of old and new. Unsurprisingly, she earned a standing ovation from everyone in the concert hall – twice.” In November, the ever-evolving enigma will return to the grand venues that suit her best.
Tori Amos plays these solo shows in November. Tickets on sale Friday 31 July.
Thursday November 12 – Regent Theatre, Melbourne Monday November 16 – Sydney Opera House Concert Hall Thursday November 19 – Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide Saturday November 21 – Perth PCEC Riverside Theatre Tuesday November 24 – QPAC Concert Hall, Brisbane

I know everyone bashes Live when I mention them. I don't get it, to me their music and career has been quite similar to the pumpkins.
Anyway the lead singer Ed Kowalcyzk is coming solo to Aus. He's playing accoustic songs from the whole of his career ie Live's. It's going to be awesome its only $60 too - a steal.
Quick interview about it:
Live frontman Ed Kowalczyk will perform two special solo shows at the Octagon Theatre on August 12 and 13. BOB GORDON reports.
After years of playing arenas around the world fronting Live, Ed Kowalczyk is revelling in the intimacy of playing solo shows, armed with only his voice and an acoustic guitar. "This is like being in 1990, making music in a room with a couple of people for a couple of people. I'd sort of become completely separated from that. This has been an incredible sort of leap back into that world. I've rediscovered myself."
Ed (or Eddie, as the tour publicity goes) Kowalczyk's enthusiasm for the simple act of playing solo and acoustic resonates on many levels. While he's always been open and approachable with Live's fans, the logistics of a major rock band being on tour means that aside from a lucky percentage who may meet the band, most see and hear the music from a distance. In touring solo, Kowalczyk is meeting both the shier or timid fans, as well as those who maintain the deepest kinds of connections to his music.
"Yeah, I believe so. Also I've noticed that with this particular approach to the music that it's bringing out the people who are really hyped about the songs, who have had a really long-term relationship with my lyrics. Now for them, they've been able to see my face doing it right up close and experience it in a direct way that you can't get if you're 10, 15 or 100 rows back in an arena, or in a theatre even.
"It's just a whole new experience. It's just me and an acoustic so you can really hear the vocal and the lyrics, so it's just different in that it is a new reflection." One of the most fascinating aspects for Kowalczyk is the ongoing reveal of how people relate to his music... "It's been really extraordinary for me the way that people have grown with the lyrics," he says. "And basically, regularly, daily, how much the music still means to them. It somehow even means more now than ever. I mean, when I take a perspective on that, a lot of the music that I liked in my 20s I don't care about that much anymore (laughs). You move through phases of life where inevitably you drop off from things that once meant a lot to you. "To hear people say that 10 years, or 15 years later, a song still means just as much to them, has been really amazing. It's something that you hope you're doing with your writing, but never really realise when or if you're at that point. So I'm just overwhelmed by that just about everyday. "One of the tactile things about these shows is the sheer appreciation of the fact that these people have been able to grow with this music and having it mean more in the lives with the more experience that they bring to it. I mean that's what you dream of, it's great."
In the fans' eyes it's like new light shining through old windows. From Kowalczyk's point of view in re-treating these songs, it's like meeting old friends again. "Absolutely. They really start there for me. Before they really go to the band and they get produced and arranged and added to, subtracted from - whatever happens in the studio and all the layers that go on there - they start in that sphere of me and the guitar. So for me to do that on stage and invite people into that experience, which is so personal to me, people are really appreciating that.
"A lot of people aren't aware that I can do it or am interested in doing it that that way (laughs). For me it's very natural and I've been doing it for years, but a lot of people have had no idea that it could be so compelling done it that way."
Sounds to me like he's doing a similar thing to Billy with TFE, getting focused on the music again.

Timmy news. No offence to any fans, but i hope by locals musicians, it's Melbourne locals, not Pyke/Jamison etc. That albums tracklist is: "Jumpin' Jack Flash"– 4:02 November 27, 1969: Madison Square Garden, New York City "Carol" (Chuck Berry) – 3:47 November 28, 1969: Madison Square Garden, New York City (first show) "Stray Cat Blues" – 3:41 November 28, 1969: Madison Square Garden, New York City (first show) "Love in Vain" (Robert Johnson) – 4:57 November 26, 1969: Civic Center, Baltimore "Midnight Rambler" – 9:05 November 28, 1969: Madison Square Garden, New York City (second show) "Sympathy for the Devil" – 6:52 November 28, 1969: Madison Square Garden, New York City (first show) "Live with Me" – 3:03 November 28, 1969: Madison Square Garden, New York City (second show) "Little Queenie" (Chuck Berry) – 4:33 November 28, 1969: Madison Square Garden, New York City (first show) "Honky Tonk Women" – 3:35 November 27, 1969: Madison Square Garden, New York City "Street Fighting Man" – 4:03 November 28, 1969: Madison Square Garden, New York City (first show) Interesting he would do a Stones album which features a few covers. Would have thought a Stones material only album would have made more sense? - That said, The Stones played a lot of covers in their early stages as well. What does this have to do with anything? Not much i guess, just thinking out loud!
