I now need to find the time to locate someone local who can do a nice repair job.  Any recommended repair shops in the Newcastle area?

It's probably the most adventurous, experimental and ballsy album released on a major label since Green Day's revelatory American Idiot, which also happens to be its closest kin, in spirit at least. Because for all its growling electronics, squelching guitars and plinking African kalimbas, Year Zero is essentially a punk-rock album, one born of the same bold attitude that drove Green Day to jettison traditional thinking while making Idiot.

But that's about as far as those comparisons can go. Because there's no jaunty, nine-minute rock-opera pieces to be found on Zero, nary a ballad on par with "Wake Me Up When September Ends." Shoot, there are barely any discernable guitars. Instead, almost every sound you hear on the album has been chopped, ripped, pulled, flayed, destroyed, flattened, squeezed or smashed beneath the massive, ominous bit-mapping of Reznor and co-producer Atticus Ross. Sixty-four minutes of disorienting, pummeling Sturm und Drang roiling atop a rumbling, certifiably bone-chilling layer of white noise that recalls the wind whipping through a war zone.

The article is pretty good preview of what's coming...  Argh!  I need this album now dammit! :)

The support act, Ladytron, didn't seem up to much. The music was fairly interesting, but the vocals were almost totally drowned out. Thankfully they were only on stage for 30 mins :)

Approx 45 minutes later we were treated to a room almost totally full of smoke, the silhouettes of NiN and the start of a blinding set.

I've uploaded a selection of the photos I took to my gallery (as usual)

Kylie was much better that I'd expected and embarrassingly enough I knew the words to almost all the songs!

This was my first serious play with the new camera Leela bought me for Christmas - Due to our distance from the stage and the angle we were at, the photos didn't come out quite as well as I'd hoped. Maybe a little bit more experimentation is required before the NiN gig ;)

The left earpiece of my new(ish) iPod headphones has died.

Back in March I bought a lovely pair of Sennheiser CX300's to replace the crappy standard iPod ones, but now that I've had to return them I'm going to have to suffer tinny music with no bass until the replacements arrive :(
