Yes, 43 years old and basically on the stage next to the band. And we got the set list too. We’ve still got it!…even if I can no longer actually count the number of times I’ve seen Los Campesinos in concert. Even when limiting it to US or UK gigs.1

I’ve now been to Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland, so I think I’ve checked off the highlights of “Ohio Cities that begin with C”. Cleveland seems quite nice! Historic downtown core mixed in with some brutalist / modernist towers and plenty of post-90s glass, along with curios like a a turn of the 19th/20th century arcade being retrofitted into a hotel. Pity that there seems to be an interstate between the core and the Great Lake, but maybe next time we’ll make it a bit closer to the shore.

Next week…New York! And then no travel for an entire month before heading to Vancouver again for the welcome return of SHUX!


  1. I will be upset if Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks doesn’t make its way back into a set list in the future. It just doesn’t feel right without “one blink for yes, two blinks for no” somewhere towards the end of the performance. ↩︎
