/Countdown/2007/Gigs
OK, it’s Wednesday, but still…it’s time for the last of my TT’s on the round-up of 2007’s music. This week it is the best gigs of 2007, in my view. Feel free to disagree, offer opinions, alternatives, etc.
Month: December 2007
Into the Pit: 055: Gogol Bordello – Live at the Leadmill Sheffield – 18-December 2007
I’m still not sure how much I like the Leadmill as a gig venue. While the layout is great – a wide stage, and a good sound system that allows for just about everyone to see the gig – it never feels quite right. So it was a good thing that in the main, the […]
Into the Pit: 054: VNV Nation – Live at Corporation Sheffield – 15-December 2007
Getting in a little late, I missed the beginning of Kloq, but got to see the majority of a set I had been looking forward to seeing.

/Countdown/2007/Albums
Part three of my round-up of the year, and this week it is my albums of the year. Despite my reservations recently that there hadn’t been an awful lot to recommend for 2007, it turns out that there are actually quite a lot.
Into the Pit: 052: The Young Gods – Live at Roadhouse Manchester – 06-December 2007
First, I should mention the support band. A band from the south-west called Undercut, who were really rather good. Not at all the type of band I would expect to see supporting a band like TYG, but maybe that was half the fun. A five-piece alternative rock band, with passing nods in the music to […]
/Countdown/2007/Tracks
So, part one of my review of the year, and this week it is the tracks of the year. This as usual spans a number of different genres, and I don't doubt that there will be some disagreement with my choices: so to that end, let me know what you think the best of the […]
