Fact One: The Jackson 5 don’t blame it on sunshine, moonlight or bad times. They blame it on the boogie.
Fact two: The Carling Academy are bastards for charging nearly six quid for two shots of vodka.
Fact three: Elbow are the most underrated band in the UK.
With four albums under their belt, Elbow took their latest offering, The Seldom Seen Kid, on the road to showcase a few of the brilliant tracks that are featured on it, alongside mixing in a few older hits.
While talking to a friend who worked at the bar, she uttered the words “I’ve been told there like one of those miserable Radiohead-style bands, so I knew you’d be here tonight.”
Hmm, great that our music tastes have been pinned down, but slightly wrong about Elbow being the soundtrack to a suicidal cult's last few hours on earth.
Meat Loaf has been through a lot in his time - injury, drug addiction, attempted suicide, crooked manager, lawsuits, disease, bankruptcy - but in the end it looks as if it's Newcastle that's done Meat Loaf in.
It's been reported that Meat Loaf has quit music forever, and this is something he apparently decided mid-show in Newcastle on Wednesday night. Mid-song, in fact - as the opening bars to Paradise By The Dashboard Light kicked in, Meat Loaf suddenly decided that he couldn't be bothered to sing for a living any more and trudged offstage. Sure, Meat Loaf's apparent breakdown might sound a little worrying, but if he really has quit music then maybe he can start to concentrate on acting again - and who doesn't want to see more films about man-titted Meat Loaf punching people in a cellar?
