I'm thinking bout heading to jolly old London for x-mass. Any good shows around the end of December I should know about?

Depends what your musical tastes are like. For me, the only gigs I have lined up for December are:

• 2006.12.11 -- Mike Tramp's White Lion
• 2006.12.14 -- Dragonforce / All That Remains / Firewind
• 2006.12.22 -- Iron Maiden / Some crappy support band

The best place to check for gigs in London is Stargreen: http://www.stargreen.com/listing/2006_12 [stargreen.com]. The list is a bit sparse for December at the moment, but it'll pad out over the next couple of mon

Massive Attack

I just saw Massive Attack last weekend at the ACL music festival. Very cool. I would have liked to see them play much longer than the 90 minute set.

I was very Impress with their performance at Coachella. It'll be nice to not have to deal with the TOOL fans booing them this time. TOOL fans are tools.
