last night was beyond amazing. academy is a great venue, milburn were so special. fantastic setlist (the above copy isnt mine lol). it was incredibly emotional, especially what about next time, the start of count to 10, rudiments!!!!, roll out the barrel and mostly what you could've won, which means so much to me its crazy. joe (carnall) was holding back the tears in wychw.

As you probably already know, Milburn announced they were splitting
in March, with 2 final gigs this week, the second at the new Academy in Sheffield this Saturday. To commemorate probably the most important band (ok maybe 2nd most) of my life, i will post a milburn song every day of the week. Milburn made amazing music, and with better promotion and media support they could have broken the charts, not that that was vitally important, most of the chart indie at the moment (pigeon detectives, ting tings, courteeners etc) are nothing on milburn. For one last effort to get the boys some recognition, many fans are downloading (legally) the bside 17 in an attempt to break the top40! come on you can spare 79p!! (click the picture below)


Old skool monday this week is therefore themed, on Milburn. and we go all the way back to may 29th 2005, from Milburn EP, the amazing lipstick lickin'.
