Madonna wasn’t the only artist playing a “secret” gig last night. Alanis Morrisette was playing the intimate confines of the Kings College London Student Union in a one-off gig to promote the recently released “Best Of” (or rather “Collection”).
\nAll good fun with all your favourites, although the annoying idiot near me who kept shouting out “Ironic” every time she didn’t play it, really did begin to annoy me after a while.
\nBut I didn’t let that get me down for what was an ebullient concert. I got the idea that the audience was 50:50 die-hard fans and liggers like myself. That probably doesn’t make the greatest concert audience ever, but it was still a good crowd all told. I’m probably just getting more ratty in my old age.
\nAs an aside, it’s somewhat disconcerting when you see mobile phone pictures coming out better than your own digital camera photos. I can console myself that was looks good on a phone screen is usually at the extreme end of a digital zoom. I’d never lower myself to use such pointless technology.
\nMust dust off some of my Alanis collection, although having had a proper listen to Gillian Welch last night I think my tastes in music are ‘a changin’. I must admit that I got mildly interested when I read in the paper that it’s the Country Music Awards tonight live on Radio 2 (oh there’s some terrible music in that genre undoubtedly, but there’s also some good stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
