I'm filling in old gigs, gradually, I'll get to my current total 670 soon enough, a few more years to fill in. I'm amazed that somebody saw NOFX at Brixton Academy on the same day I saw then at the Astoria in 1995, Similarly, some other freak managed to see Fear Factory in Cardiff on the same day they supported Slayer at Brixton Academy in 1996, strange. Then there are the people putting down old gigs in the name that the current venue is called i.e - Brixton Academy will always be just Brixton Academy, to me, stuff that shandy for softies Carling Academy bollocks, I'm also astonished to find a venue in St Albans, Herts, a good 20 plus miles from London, listed as a London venue. Also this mad site has a habit of mixing up the order a support band is listed, it nails the headliners in, but the supports get jumbled up for some odd reason. More gigs to come soon :)

Tonight it's 1349 @ Camden Underworld, the 600th gig I've been to (I should know, I write down all the details in a gig diary). Will it be any different to any other gig? Probably not, have a few beers, nod politely to good bands, moan about substandard support bands, or maybe not? I recall 1349 being better, to my ears, than Gorgoroth, when they supported them in November 2005 @ Camden Underworld.
