I've decided to go to more gigs this month in Oxford. Do you have any recomendations?

Her's a link to February's Nightshift, the music paper in Oxford. Its a PDF, which is quiet annoying. The gig guide starts on page 8.

All I've picked out is Regina Spektor on the 16th cos I've heard people bang on about her, and I might go and see Julian Cope since he's always worth a roll. Who else is on this month that I might like?

I will be going to :

The Research last Saturday night (excellent show)
Napoleon IIIrd and Jeremy Smoking Jacket on 16 February (mainly because Rose Kemp is a hottie, also the IIIrd is crackers)
The Young Knives (I suppose it's the done thing)
The Boy Least Likely to on 19 February (twee-ish, nothing like James Blunt, despite having supported him)
Mogwai on 1 April (not this month)

Also, whatever Vacuous have got on this month.

I'd heard good things about The Boy Least Likely, although I must admit to being scared at the Bluntness. What's Vacuous about? I've heard the name, but no more than that . . .

TBLLT is kinda like a Belle and Sebastian with nostalgia for childhood rather than the 60s/70s/80s. Here's the only three tracks I've heard:

I hadn't heard about the Bluntness, and must admit to being slightly appalled. I assume they were booked before he got massive, so were appropriate for the kind of mid-level venues he was booking six months ago.

Vacuous are microlabel/promoters. They have a monthly night at the Wheatsheaf, which is good independent music. They're a reliable source of good times, along with whoever runs the independent stuff at The Cellar (by which I mean not the bollocks drum n bass or the student stuff).

Also, Test-Icicles are on at The Zodiac tomorrow night. I'd rather get stabbed in the face than go, but your mileage may vary.

Also, The Rollercoaster Project is doing some sort of set of loopy guitar electronica stuff at The Cellar this Sunday.

I'll be DJing afterwards, playing stuff I like to think ILM would approve of, and I hope the Oxford student crowd will be confused by at first, awkwardly swaying to music they've never heard before, but by the end of the night the dancefloor will look like a skillfully animated butcher's window, beautiful public school girls writhing around to The Raincoats and that new Lady Sovereign--the one that's too fast to dance to. That's the plan anyway.

three years pass...

Quite a specific question but the jackie du pre building: stalls or (slightly more expensive) upstairs?
