Ryan Adams.Oasis etc?
After listening to the Vines album only ten times or so I can now only stand a handful of the songs - Homesick and Mary Jane - the quieter ones. It's not that the other songs are bad - it's just the production is too slick, everything is very loud. Wish I ahd bothered to stop and listen to them at Glasto now.

Saw Low last night - it was very lovely, better than I expected. Some good rocking out, great handclapping from the audience and a bit of band interraction. Got me an autograph as well from Alan (though I really wanted Mimi's autograph).
