  1. Saw David Byrne last night, it was pretty much one of the best gigs I've been too. I must have been one of the youngest people there at 21.

     

    He was chattier than I imagined he would be, having a joke with the audience. Where it was a completely seated audience and everyone was pretty quiet you could hear anything that was being shouted and he ran with some of the stuff which was pretty funny.

     

    Whole band was dressed all in white which worked really well with the lighting. They were using lots of LED Colourblasts to light things which worked really well. He also had 3 dancers that performed choreographed stuff during about half of the songs.

     

    The tour he's doing at the moment he's doing is just material that he's done in conjunction with Eno, so it was a real treat getting to hear so much Talking Heads stuff performed as well as the excellence that is the two albums they did together.

     

    One of the backing singers arrived late as she'd been detained at immigration. She just waltzed onto the stage about halfway through the performance.

     

    I don't remember the exact set list but I remember that he opened with 'Strange Overtones' from the latest album and closed with 'Burning Down the House' on the second encore.

     

    Anyway, lots of fun was had. Glad I finally got to see him and was totally blown away by just how perfect the whole thing was.

     

     


  2. i would't have gone for him since there is so many big names who haven't been picked. but saying that people said i picked shelley and aries to early.

     

    Yeah, that was me. To be honest though, if there is someone you really want it's better to take them early rather than miss out. I wish I'd followed that advise myself and picked Tajiri up.

     


  3. Good episode, the episode was near all flashbacks within a flashback. That's some damn fine flashbackin'.

    I'm dying for them to move on the Robin/Barney thing some more. Want to know where that's going already.

    Well, I say that, but I do like that they're not rushing things there really.


  4. Oh man, Kozlov vs. JBL? That match would be horrible, and this is coming from someone that quite likes both of them.

     

    I honestly can't think of an appealing match for JBL at Mania. Perhaps JBL vs Mysterio, they've had some fun matches in the past.

     

    JBL is no great shakes in the in ring department anymore and there's not much left for him to do. So if this means JBL back in the booth I'm all for it. He'd also make an excellent manager, if they chose to take him that route anyway.


  5. For my next pick, I'm going to finish up my brawling contingent for now.

    He's someone that can work brilliantly in a crazy anything goes type environment. He can also be put into more straight up wrestling matches for interesting combinations. He can play heel or face so that's now a problem and has a unique kind of charisma to him.

     

    I can see him vs. Eddie, vs. Kobashi or vs. Jericho all being something fun to watch. Where as the brawling stuff with Sabu, Sheik or Abby would no doubt be brutal.

     

    Even though he's not going to be main event stuff, he's someone that will always come across as a legit threat.

     

    I give you my next pick of the draft:

    Necro Butcher


  6. Sorry for missing my window guys. I was away for the weekend at the last minute and thought I'd be able to text Franchise with my next pick, but where I was staying had no coverage and no internet.

     

    Anyways, for my next pick, I choose a man who has shown himself to be incredibly versatile. He can play face and heel, he can go technical or brawl and can wrestle great as a singles or tag team guy.

     

     

    For my next pick, I choose:

    Homicide01.jpg

    Homicide.

     

    He'll be incredibly useful on my roster as an upper midcard guy. I can plug him into feuds with any of the top guys and he could be the centrepiece of a Junior type division if I decide to go that way.
