The weekly mailshot from Ticketmaster is here again and I urgently scroll down to the 'events which matched your interest' box. Razorlight are in there. How disappointing. I can imagine going to see them. Not hugely close to my interests, but a bit.But then. But then. Ticketmaster don't let me down. They think the top event which will interest me is Opeth.
I don't know who Opeth are although you will see from the picture that looks suspiciously like a metal pose. Google Opeth. Oh yes:
'Opeth is a progressive death metal band from Sweden ... Opeth has also attracted a lot of attention from doom metal fans.' This info courtesy of Rockcrypt.
Where do they get their customer profiles done? Ben and I are off to see the Futureheads tonight. Not death. Not doom. Not metal. Not Eurovison. They are from Sunderland though. That's nearly Scandinavia.

Ticketmaster's recommendations to me today were a Ronan Keating concert in Northumberland and something called "Unholy Alliance, Chapter II" (featuring 'Slayer', 'In Flames', 'Lamb of God', 'Children of Bodom' and 'Thine Eyes Bleed') in Manchester. Even if I had any interest in either of these events (and I cannot emphasise strongly enough that I don't) I would hardly be likely to attend given that I live in London.
Here's a free tip Ticketmaster - if you're going to try and tempt me to attend a concert, tempt me with an event that's taking place less than 200 miles away.
Yay, found a futureheads fan! You are the first person I know, other than me, that I have found who activley likes the futureheads.
As for recomendations. It is quite annoying that when I look at my last.fm profile, and then click recomendations, I get the recomendation in 3rd place of Celine Dion. I consider that an insult. Her version of "You make me feel like a natural woman" is nowhere near as good as the Carole King version. It just doesn't have the "neediness" that Carole gives to it.
