Using email receipts and photos I've managed to find most gigs ive been to since 2007, logged them and aligned them to the photos I took. I've also brought my annual year end music blogs and spotify playlists from each year that I have - 15 years of reviews and tracks - Enjoy!
Every show I could find a ticket for, from Anathallo at the Borderline in 2008 to whatever's on next week in Brooklyn. Festivals and club nights are logged as events but kept out of the band stats, since nobody remembers exactly who they saw at Gov Ball.
Tap any name for that artist's page: every time I've seen them, photos from Instagram, and where they turn up in my albums of the year.
Busiest year: 2025 with 38 shows. 2020 has just one: New Colossus in March, the week everything shut down. Everything else booked that year was cancelled.

Every year-end list from the blog, ranked the way Paddy ranks them: by how much each record actually got played.
Artists who made the list in three or more years.
One page per artist, with every gig in date order, photos and clips from Instagram where I posted any, and their appearances in Albums of the Year. Festivals and nights out get a page per event series.
is ridiculously excited about seeing The National today :) (Facebook)

Best win of the season at the beginning of the day. Then an hour and a half drive cross town in crappy traffic for day 2 of The National.

Not even sitting through another dire Arctic Monkeys lounge set could dampen our weekend. Great 3 days, SHAME were my favorite today, closely followed by Janelle Monae and Parquet Courts. #aclfest

Crappy photos but really cool gig, played the new film + album combo. New stuff more mellow and slower but definitely some goodness in there. #thenational

Brilliant weekend with The National and The Strokes. The former still the best in the world, The latter need to give their singer a kick! So much fun though with @cheljo and friends.
