Hot Water Music @ The Old Blue Last 2nd May 2012

Wed 2 May – Hot Water Music, Sharks, HildaMay

CONFESSION TIME. I’d never actually gotten around to listening to any of their music. Not really. I had an mp3 of Jack of All Trades somewhere and I’d heard one of the new songs but that was it.

Which is really weird because back when HWM did that split with Alkaline Trio, I got hold of all the Alk3 tracks and liked them and thought "well, you know, the HWM tracks will probably be good too right?" AND THEN JUST NEVER LISTENED TO THEM.

Weird. I know. I even saw Chuck Ragan on The Revival Tour last year and once again (like.. a decade after that Alk3 moment) thought "I should really listen to Hot Water Music, I like all of their friends’ music…"

So yeah. I jumped on getting a ticket for this because…I figured that it was as good a time as any to really listen to a band for the first time and OMGOMGOMG IT WAS AWESOME. :D:D:D:D

Admittedly, that’s somewhat similar to my reaction to the Avengers film when I saw it last week. You get the point though.

And they played the two songs I was vaguely familiar with, so bonus.

HildaMay were cool. I confess here that I didn’t look them up online anywhere so was genuinely expecting a girl band because of the name. I still liked them though.

Sharks were the same as they usually are. I’ve realised that I keep seeing Sharks when they’re supporting someone else. I don’t think I’d put the effort in to see them headline, but they’re ok.

  • Hilariously my mum has to fill in timesheets capturing how many minutes she spends on tasks each day. It has no column for the admin….#nhs ->
  • …work that the nurses have had to take over from the actual admin staff who apparently have no time to type up letters & send them. #nhs ->
  • Have instructed her to rebel against the system and add her own columns for travel and admin to the sheet and a note to explain #nhs ->
  • May have convinced her because she been cheesed off at the ridic amount of paperworks the nurses have to do instead of seeing patients #nhs ->
  • Also when a case is closed the nurses have to scan the entire file now. Not the admin staff. All the scanners are on the admin floor. #nhs ->
  • Instead of making sure old people don't kill themselves, nurses where my mum works are scanning, writing letters & other non-nursing tasks ->
  • I'm not entirely sure why they don't just get rid of the admin staff to save money, rather than cutting the no of nurses. :/ ->
