Jaded Youth...

...Were heavily present at The Cribs gig in Preston the other night. As were one too many jaded old folk desperately trying to recapture their long lost youth.

Particularly jaded was the middle-aged bruiser who arrived with his middle-aged trophy wife and needlessly pushed his way through the twenty alcohol infused kiddies waiting patiently in a little huddle in front of the stage. 

As if this pointless act of defiance wasn't funny enough, half an hour from the end, whilst security were dealing with one of the many prolific crowd surfing youngsters, he launched himself over the barrier towards the basin-haired guitarist. It then took five of the security staff to drag him away and eject him from the venue.

Anyway, back to The Cribs. I'm not really a fan but this is the third time I've been dragged along to see them. I got bored a third of the way in but I believe these are some of the songs that they played. 

Come on, be a no-one
Cheat on me
Back to the bolthole 
Glitters like gold
Mirror kissers
City of bugs

I'll be honest. I only vaguely know two of these songs. Which isn't too good considering the band have been "on the scene" since 2002 and for three years featured Johnny Marr on guitar before replacing him with David Jones from Nine Black Alps (when he hasn't got better things to do with his own band.)
