Jimmy Page's mini guitar (15cm) for 10 euros...so awesome...I'm not that much of a fan of Led Zep (simply because I only know some of their greatest hits) but I only realised how magnificent Stairway to Heaven really is this week (listening to it as I type ).
Been bit slow on buying stuff lately but something at least...Bought finally the last missing Darkwood CD "Notwendfeuer" Not a bad purchase considering its his best work in my opinion. Also got my first Death in June tee shirt ever. About the time too i say
I bought tickets to see Primus yesterday. I'm so excited I've gone back round the circle to feeling quite calm about it. If there's one band I want to see more than any other in the world, it's Primus.

Aye, that's the one. Apparently, rumour has it the Melvins will be supporting. I hope it's true.
I was going to go but my friend bailed at the last second. Not a fan going alone especially all the to Manchester. Better luck for me next time I suppose.

You should go anyway. Back in the day *creak* I used to get the train to London to see Levitation when they did their King's Cross residency. After the first gig, I met the girl who'd become my best friend for the next 5 years.
Recently the neighborhood FYE was going out of business which i totally was unaware of as i was headed there to treat myself for my birthday. So i ended up walking out with 300.00 worth of music for only a 100.00. Some of the surprise goodies are:

The thread title says tickets, so, tickets it is... Or is it tickets they are?
Anyway, what has two thumbs and scored a front-row seat for Herbie Hancock's show in June? This guy.
More recently, on Saturday I picked up a ticket for Philip Glass's solo concert in town, and wound up sitting barely eight feet away from him at the Q&A session afterwards. Granted, I was quite a bit further away for the actual concert, but still...
Going to be getting tickets for the Rockstar Mayhem Festival very soon. A few of us from work are going. Went last year. Phoenix, Az in July = 120 degrees+ hot in the pit. Had a great time.
Picked up "Bang Bang" by Dispatch and "Black Clouds and Silver Linings" by Dream Theater a while back. Both CDs are great. I'm looking forward to blasting Dispatch with the windows down this summer.
