<p>After an unintentional hiatus last week (we were super busy working on our new <a href="http://www.songkick.com/contacts/new" target="_blank">Contact Importer/Friend Finder</a>) &#8211; this week will be a bumper edition. Leaderboards are for the past fortnight so that all the newly added goodness is acknowledged!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see who&#8217;s added the most of each category this fortnight:</p>
<h2>Setlists</h2>
<p>1. <a href="/users/mellowdoubt" target="_blank">mellowdoubt</a> &#8211; 127<br />

<p>First up setlists – a massive thanks has to go out to <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/mellowdoubt" target="_blank">mellowdoubt</a> for the staggering 147 setlists he’s added. This includes a ton of <a href="http://www.songkick.com/artists/162487-iliketrains" target="_blank">iLikeTrains</a> setlists to browse through,  something to take you back to the increasingly distant memories of the <a href="http://www.songkick.com/festivals/26171-summer-sundae/id/2241796-summer-sundae-2009/performances/3201896-bon-iver" target="_blank">festival season</a> and this 2000 <a href="http://www.songkick.com/festivals/57-reading-festival/id/709975-reading-festival/performances/988390-pulp" target="_blank">Pulp setlist</a> from Reading:</p>

<p>Review-wise, <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/MilkLizard82" target="_blank">MilkLizard82</a> shares tales from <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/630412" target="_blank">Weezer</a>, <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/555941" target="_blank">The Dandy Warhols</a> and this charming tale from a <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/1098448" target="_blank">Tomahawk</a> show at the now no-more <a href="http://www.songkick.com/venues/17546-astoria" target="_blank">Astoria</a>:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The first Tomohawk show in London. Police get up. Patton on form as ever, baiting the security. Caused a bit of trouble when he seemingly came out for the encore then pissed all over the first few rows. I caught a splash myself. Turns out it was prosthesis and simulation. Jockstrap was the highight for me.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/Drsimonc" target="_blank">Drsimonc</a> shares anecdotes from his diaries written in the 1970s/80s – such a nice idea for keeping hold of those gig memories:</p>
<p><a href="/concerts/613943-damned-at-locarno">The Damned with The Ruts at Locarno (17 Jun 79)</a>: <em>&#8220;I remember this well due to the trouble i got into getting out late &#8211; we arrived late (bus to Bristol) and had to queue until at least 9pm. Went with David (Butch) and Lawrence. Problem was my parents were collecting us and we had to leave the gig early to meet them. &#8216;Ruts ace and Damned a bit prattish&#8217; I recorded, &#8216;back at 11.45&#8242;. Next day, &#8216;no school in morning&#8217;. Four stars for the Ruts.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><a href=" http://www.songkick.com/concerts/451583-siouxsie-and-the-banshees-at-pavillion-bath" target="_blank">Siouxsie and the Banshees with The Human League (12 Oct 78)</a>: <em>&#8220;&#8230;it was fantastic, never seen anything like the Human League at that time and never heard anything like Spizzoil. Diary says: &#8216;Went to see S and B in even at Pavilion, also Human League &#8211; not v good &#8211; and Spizzoli &#8211; better. Went punked up.&#8217; (?! wish we had some pictures).&#8221;</em></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Another week, another load of great contributions to share with you… There’s Morrissey setlists galore, more awesome reviews from <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/BrunoMac" target="_blank">BrunoMac</a> and a variety of ticket stubs to browse through courtesy of <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/duanos00" target="_blank">duanos00</a>.

<p style="text-align: left;">It&#8217;s, sadly, been fairly quiet on the review front this week &#8211; but <a href="../../users/BrunoMac" target="_blank">BrunoMac</a> has continued to add more priceless short but sweet anecdotes of his past gig experiences:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/478249-happy-mondays-at-wembley-arena" target="_blank">Happy Mondays at Wembley Arena</a>:</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: left;"><p><em>&#8220;The Mondays’ performances were so unrecognisably shambolic that the person behind us shouting for ‘Mad Cyril’ continued to do so even after they’d played it. The tickets were competition prizes so we didn’t care.</em></p>
<p><em>Can&#8217;t remember 808 State being there, but MC Buzz B was, and he was utterly, pathetically crap</em>.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.songkick.com/festivals/910-knebworth-festival/id/2426776-knebworth-festival-1986" target="_blank">Queen at Knebworth, 1989</a>:</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: left;"><p><em>&#8220;All of Queen&#8217;s set bar Brian May’s guitar solo was amazing; in particular, 120,000 pairs of hands doing the ‘Radio Ga Ga’ clapping and, afterwards, rounding a corner to see thousands of people swarming down a hillside.</em></p>
<p><em>God knows what Belouis Some (the opener) was doing on the same bill as Queen and Status Quo. He was crap and hid behind his backing singers when bottles started flying. Quo were alright and Big Country were pretty good.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here at Songkick we’ve always been really grateful for feedback from you guys – the good, the bad and the ugly &#8211; we’ve heard it all and genuinely appreciate the time people have spent letting us know what works and what doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>As the site has grown we’ve built up a great bunch of loyal Songkickers, who not only contribute tons of helpful ideas, but who’ve also really grasped what Songkick is all about. From <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/SoapCompany" target="_blank">Soapcompany,</a> who’s personal gigography has now surpassed the 1,000 mark, to <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw" target="_blank">ghbradshaw</a>, who’s added <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw/images" target="_blank">1646</a> photos and counting since he signed up &#8211; there’s a whole host of dedicated live music fans who are helping make Songkick the home of live music online.</p>
<p>So, to extend our thanks we invited you along to our offices for a bit of a shindig on Friday 9th October… and we were very happy with the turnout!</p>
<p>Almost 30 if you came along and it was great to finally put those names to some faces. For any of you who couldn’t make it, here’s a quick summary of what went down…</p>
<p>First up we had a bit of a meet and greet: Anika (<a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/Anikainlondon" target="_blank">Anikainlondon</a>), one of our interns, very kindly hand-drew everyone name badges which was a great help when it came to figuring out who was who:</p>
<div id="attachment_2286" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 535px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2286" src="http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/labels.jpg" alt="labels" width="525" height="350" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo taken by Brooke Parrott</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">(check out Anika&#8217;s blog here: <a href="http://anikainlondon.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://anikainlondon.wordpress.com/</a>)</p>
<p>Once the beer had started to flow and we’d established which username belonged to which person, we pulled out a little icebreaker to get everyone moving around the room (I feel like I’m making this sound like speed-dating for music geeks – it wasn’t like that, honest).  This took the form of a ‘<a href="http://www.wordle.net/" target="_blank">Wordle</a>’ &#8211; we looked through everyone&#8217;s gigographies to see which gigs people had been to together and then displayed it like this&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2341 aligncenter" title="wordle" src="http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/wordle.jpg" alt="wordle" width="473" height="234" /><em><a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/a_gun_rack" target="_blank">a_gun_racks&#8217;s</a> wordle</em></p>
<p>&#8230;to show who&#8217;d been to the most gigs with who out of everyone there. We also gave everyone a list of said gigs, prompting conversations along the lines of “wow we’ve been to so many shows together”, “how good was that gig?!”, “how weird that you went to see so and so…”. It was a music nerd&#8217;s dream.</p>
<p>When everyone had circulated the room an acceptable amount of times (and grabbed another cake along the way), it was time for the Songkick Team to say a few words. After a quick introduction from each team member, <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/michelle" target="_blank">Michelle</a> took the lead and gave, what we hope, was an insightful glimpse into the future plans for Songkick. A question and answer style session ensued and then we let everyone lose on two blank whiteboards to share their feedback:</p>
<div id="attachment_2356" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 532px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2356" src="http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/whiteboard3.jpg" alt="whiteboard3" width="522" height="337" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo taken by Brooke Parrott</p></div>
<p>We’ll be sifting our way through that soon!</p>
<p>Judging by the great responses we’ve had from all those who attended (and the fact that the party moved on to the pub after), I think it’s safe to say that the evening was a great success, so we’ll certainly be doing it again at some point in the near future!</p>
<p>We&#8217;d love to hear more feedback from those who came though &#8211; let us know in the comment section below what you thought of the evening and if you have any ideas for the next one <img src='http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thanks again to all those who came, and to Brooke (<a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/bookarooble" target="_blank">bookarooble</a>) and Simon (<a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/gtvone" target="_blank">gtvone</a>) for the photography.</p>

3) <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/KillTheRobotz" target="_blank">KillTheRobotz</a> &#8211; 6</p>
<p><a href="/users/Gumgum2804" target="_blank">Gumgum2804</a> has continued to add a bunch of really readable reviews, covering performances from <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/117737" target="_blank">Foals</a>, <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/126661" target="_blank">Mark Ronson</a> and <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2630041" target="_blank">Eagles of Death Metal</a>.</p>
<p><a href="/users/BrunoMac" target="_blank">BrunoMac</a> shares some of his experiences of seeing <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/893120-cure-at-royal-albert-hall" target="_blank">The Cure</a>&#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;So good that I didn’t mind getting a nosebleed in the middle. If you’re going to have gore dripping down your mouth then it might as well be at a Cure gig and, since they played for over three hours, it didn’t matter that I spent 20 mins with my head tilted back (possibly freaking out the folks behind us).&#8221;</em></p>
<p>&#8230;and KillTheRobotz shares a <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/1464731" target="_blank">great review</a> of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson explaining how the &#8220;controversial&#8221; performance went down:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Norman Oklahoma is not the place you&#8217;d expect to see Marilyn Manson and NIN &#8211; the bible belt is very conservative and restrictive to the point of being oppressive [...] this generated so much interest it prompted throngs of ticketless religious people to show up in the parking lot just to see the spectacle, some held picket signs! Never seen that before.&#8221;</em></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Hot on the heels of our user meet-up session (blog post on that to come in the next few days!), this weeks Top Contributor post features some, now, familiar faces as well as a couple of new users.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Regular top contributor <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/iheartmusic" target="_blank">iheartmusic</a> continues to do a great job of adding awesome content – appearing in no less than three of this weeks categories. Then there’s new user <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/Gumgum2804" target="_blank">Gumgum2804</a> who’s been busy adding some really interesting and detailed reviews – good skills!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here’s the breakdown of who&#8217;s been adding the most of each thing this week…</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Setlists</h2>
<p>1) <a href="/users/iheartmusic" target="_blank">iheartmusic</a> &#8211; 19<br />
2) <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/xneverwherex" target="_blank">xneverwherex</a> &#8211; 19<br />
3) <a href="/users/Gumgum2804" target="_blank">Gumgum2804</a> &#8211; 11</p>
<p><a href="/users/iheartmusic" target="_blank">iheartmusic</a> has added many gems, including an <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2728161" target="_blank">Interpol setlist</a> (featuring an photo of the original to boot)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2728161" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2141" title="InterpolSongkick_1255363281338" src="http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/InterpolSongkick_1255363281338.png" alt="InterpolSongkick_1255363281338" width="235" height="304" /></a></p>
<p>Anyone Interpol fans out there know what the last song ending in D could be?!</p>
<p><a href="/users/xneverwherex" target="_blank">xneverwherex</a> has been equally active on the setlist front and added this <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/807659" target="_blank">Ash setlist</a> from 2003&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/807659" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2151" title="Ash, Black Cat review, setlist Washington (11 June 2003) with White Light Motorcade concert | Songkick_1255363597153" src="http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Ash-Black-Cat-review-setlist-Washington-11-June-2003-with-White-Light-Motorcade-concert-Songkick_1255363597153.png" alt="Ash, Black Cat review, setlist Washington (11 June 2003) with White Light Motorcade concert | Songkick_1255363597153" width="323" height="493" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;as well as some more <a href="http://www.songkick.com/artists/138058-interpol" target="_blank">Interpol</a> setlists (perhaps that last unknown song could be &#8216;Roland&#8217;, if <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2775571" target="_blank">this one&#8217;s</a> anything to go by.</p>
<h2>Reviews</h2>
<p>1) <a href="/users/Gumgum2804" target="_blank">Gumgum2804</a> &#8211; 20<br />
2) <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/bumblebee" target="_blank">bumblebee </a>- 11<br />
3) <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/kevinhewick" target="_blank">kevinhewick</a> &#8211; 6</p>
<p>On the review front <a href="/users/Gumgum2804" target="_blank">Gumgum2804</a> has added some great high quality stuff (with setlists added for many as well), he gives a really detailed description of the shows, worth checking out are <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/32486" target="_blank">this one</a> of the Manic Street Preachers and <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2447251" target="_blank">this</a> of the recently reformed <a href="http://www.songkick.com/artists/396097-skunk-anansie" target="_blank">Skunk Anansie</a>. He also gives a <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/298148" target="_blank">nice insight</a> into watching one of his favourite artists, <a href="http://www.songkick.com/artists/430505-beck" target="_blank">Beck</a>:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Seeing one of your musical heroes play live can go one of 2 ways, it&#8217;s either an amazing experience that reminds you why you bother going to gigs or a huge disappointment that was never going to live up to massive expectations. I&#8217;m glad to say that tonight fell into the first category.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Very true.</p>
<p>And <a href="/users/bumblebee" target="_blank">bumblebee</a> makes her third appearance in a row, regaling us with more <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/151007" target="_blank">Kaiser Chief tales</a> and <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/105669" target="_blank">Cribs shenanigans</a>.</p>
<p>Singer/songwriter <a href="/users/kevinhewick" target="_blank">kevinhewick</a> of <a href="http://www.factoryrecords.net/" target="_blank">Factory Records</a> fame, is a new user we&#8217;re particularly excited to have on the site. He shares some priceless anecdotes from gigs such as The Clash&#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The Clash were on explosive form, the myth you dream of now, there it was.. afterwards they came out and met the fans going to different corners of the venue, Kings Hall staff ordering us out and everybody refusing to go and Mick Jones was like &#8220;Cool it, we&#8217;re just talking to our friends&#8221; &#8211; fans were called friends, those WERE the days!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>&#8230;<a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/820614" target="_blank">New Order</a> and <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/1359548" target="_blank">The Cramps</a>! Well worth checking out his <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/kevinhewick/gigography" target="_blank">gigography</a> too.</p>

<p><a href="/users/gtvone" target="_blank">gtvone</a> shares some of his brilliant <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/gtvone/images" target="_blank">concert photography</a> with us, such as this perfectly-timed one of <a href="http://www.songkick.com/artists/501001-hilltop-hoods" target="_blank">Hilltop Hoods</a> at the <a href="http://www.songkick.com/venues/38323-o2-academy-islington" target="_blank">Islington Academy</a>:</p>

<p>It’s that time of week again folks: who’s been a setlist nerd? Who’s beaten the record for most photos uploaded ever? Who’s whiled away an evening (or perhaps a day at work for any skivers out there) scouring YouTube for the best music videos? All will be revealed right here!</p>
<p>Here goes&#8230;</p>
<h2>Setlists</h2>
<p>1) <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/seewhatyouhear" target="_blank">seewhatyouhear</a> &#8211; 27<br />

<p><a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/seewhatyouhear">seewhatyouhear</a> holds on to his title for the second week running &#8211; he&#8217;s been adding setlists from all over the place including a <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2296241" target="_blank">Joanna Newsom one</a> from Czech Republic and an <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/681348" target="_blank">Andrew Bird one</a> from Michigan, US.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/deathwarmedover" target="_blank">deathwarmedover</a> has also been busy adding lots of <a href="http://www.songkick.com/artists/299589-elliott-smith" target="_blank">Elliot Smith</a> setlists, such as this 1998 one from a performance at the legendary La Cigale, Paris:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/678793" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1981" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Elliott Smith, La Cigale review, setlist Paris (06 November 1998) concert | Songkick_1254760394590" src="http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Elliott-Smith-La-Cigale-review-setlist-Paris-06-November-1998-concert-Songkick_1254760394590.png" alt="Elliott Smith, La Cigale review, setlist Paris (06 November 1998) concert | Songkick_1254760394590" width="171" height="300" /></a></p>

<p>On the review front this week, we&#8217;ve had <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/Brightslumber">Brightslumber</a> add his two cents to <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/190885" target="_blank">this ongoing debate</a> about the Victoria Park Radiohead concert, while <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/sprouty70" target="_blank">sprouty70</a> looks back on some <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/683756" target="_blank">classic Milton Keynes Bowl</a> gigs from the eighties:</p>

<p>193 photos takes <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw" target="_blank">ghbradshaw</a> not only to the top of this weeks leader-board, but also to the position of adding the most photos out of all Songkickers&#8230;ever! That means with a total of <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw/images" target="_blank">1223</a> he&#8217;s taken the crown away from <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/duanos00" target="_blank">Duanos00</a> (who was last weeks champ with <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/duanos00/images" target="_blank">1195</a> in total). Amongst this impressive count of photos there are many gems to be found, such as <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw/images/215271?sort=recent" target="_blank">this</a>, rather youthful, one of the <a href="http://www.songkick.com/artists/520117-arctic-monkeys" target="_blank">Arctic Monkeys</a>:</p>

<p>Last week we introduced the weekly Top contributor leader-board which highlighted you guys who had added the most content, and cherry-picked some of the most interesting items added. All in all it seemed to go down pretty well, so here’s round two!</p>
<p>This week sees <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/duanos00" target="_blank">duanos00</a> holding on to his crown as king of the photos (a staggering <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/duanos00/images" target="_blank">1196</a> in total making him the user to have added the most photos since we launched in June!). <a href="/users/ghbradshaw" target="_blank">ghbradshaw</a> is hot on his heels though, featuring heavily on this weeks Top contributor list.</p>
<p>Let’s break it down then:</p>
<h2><strong>Setlists</strong></h2>
<p>1) <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/seewhatyouhear" target="_blank">seewhatyouhear</a> &#8211; 47<br />
2) <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw" target="_blank">ghbradshaw</a> &#8211; 37<br />
3) <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/shivadescending" target="_blank">shivadescending</a> &#8211; 34</p>
<p><a href="/users/seewhatyouhear" target="_blank">seewhatyouhear</a> managed to swipe the actual <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2454461-girls-at-lexington/images/185481" target="_blank">setlist itself</a> from the <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2454461-girls-at-lexington/images/185481" target="_blank">Girls gig at the Lexington</a> last Monday:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2454461-girls-at-lexington/images/185481" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1796" title="The Girls setlist 1254134374770" src="http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/The-Girls-setlist-1254134374770.png" alt="The Girls setlist 1254134374770" width="297" height="422" /></a></p>
<p>And also added a whole bunch of <a href="http://www.songkick.com/artists/137427-animal-collective" target="_blank">Animal Collective</a> setlists including <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2112991" target="_blank">this Belfast show</a>.</p>
<p><a href="/users/ghbradshaw" target="_blank">ghbradshaw</a> has also done a good job of sharing physical setlists, possibly trumping <a href="/users/seewhatyouhear" target="_blank">seewhatyouhear</a> by getting a signed one from <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2286421" target="_blank">Dogs Die In Hot Cars</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2286421-dogs-die-in-hot-cars-at-barfly-camden/images/193586" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1801" title="Dogs Die In Hot Cars setlist_1254135292605" src="http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Dogs-Die-In-Hot-Cars-setlist_1254135292605.png" alt="Dogs Die In Hot Cars setlist_1254135292605" width="296" height="417" /></a></p>
<p><a href="/users/shivadescending" target="_blank">shivadescending</a> continues to boost the historical content adding more <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2615111" target="_blank">Cabaret Voltaire setlists</a> and some more classic eighties content in the shape of <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/496454" target="_blank">New Order</a>.</p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<h2><strong>Reviews</strong></h2>
<p>1) <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/bumblebee" target="_blank">bumblebee</a> &#8211; 7<br />

3) <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/Triturus" target="_blank">Triturus</a> &#8211; 6</p>
<p>Amount of reviews added has not been as impressive as last week  &#8211; come on Songkickers share your thoughts with those not lucky enough to have attended! But <a href="/users/bumblebee" target="_blank">bumblebee</a>, <a href="/users/hungoverdrawn" target="_blank">hungoverdrawn</a> and <a href="/users/Triturus" target="_blank">Triturus</a> have still done a good job&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="/users/bumblebee" target="_blank">bumblebee</a> (possibly the biggest Kaiser Chiefs fan on Songkick having seen them <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/bumblebee/gigography?end_date=2009-09-26&amp;page=1&amp;start_date=1999-07-10&amp;tab=artist" target="_blank">75 times</a> and counting!) gives an honest 1 out of 5 rating to one of their <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/834526" target="_blank">German shows</a>.</p>
<p>And <a href="/users/hungoverdrawn" target="_blank">hungoverdrawn</a> continues to amuse with his short but sweet anecdotes of <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2677761" target="_blank">gigs gone by</a>:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The Darkness were, as ever &#8220;rocktastic&#8221; (as I wrote at the time). A photographer from Dazed &amp; Confused took my picture, because I was wearing a hand-made T-shirt Justin had given me (it was never printed though).&#8221;</em></p>

<p><a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2533831-lemonheads-at-hmv-forum/images/182176" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1821" title="Lemonheads _1254138418891" src="http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Lemonheads-_1254138418891.png" alt="Lemonheads _1254138418891" width="450" height="334" /></a></p>
<p><a href="/users/ghbradshaw" target="_blank">ghbradshaw</a> has had a very busy week adding a ton of great photos including <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw/images/197226?sort=recent" target="_blank">ticket stubs</a>, <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw/images/197231?sort=recent" target="_blank">setlists</a> and a host of awesome shots featuring the likes of <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw/images/197216?sort=recent" target="_blank">Muse</a>, <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw/images/196496?sort=recent" target="_blank">Electric Six</a> and <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/ghbradshaw/images/195661?sort=recent" target="_blank">Super Furry Animals. </a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last weekend the Songkick team gathered our wellies, festival stage clash sheets, and gigantic tents to venture on a class-trip to <a href="http://www.songkick.com/festivals/119-end-of-the-road-festival/id/2403876-end-of-the-road-festival">End of the Road Festival 2009</a>. Not only did the festival boast an impressive line-up this year, but Larmer Tree Gardens was an idyllic place to listen to the bands. Wandering peacocks, hanging fairylights, a forest library and a wishing well completed the beautiful setting.</p>
<p>We couldn&#8217;t have asked for better festival weather, or food! (You would have thought we were competing to see who could consume more tartiflette and ice cream cones). As we sat sipping spiced cider and eating pies, we couldn&#8217;t help but think that it was rather like a food festival with a bit of music on the side.</p>
<p>In addition to entertainment on the four main stages, secret shows were also held by various bands on a small backwoods stage. One of our favorites was <a href="http://www.songkick.com/festivals/119-end-of-the-road-festival/id/2403876-end-of-the-road-festival/performances/3898986-okkervil-river">Okkervil River</a>, who made our weekend with a 4 song set on Sunday afternoon.</p>

<p>We&#8217;ve just rolled out a great new feature to get your gigs on Songkick into Twitter, and your tweets from gigs into Songkick!</p>
<h2>What we&#8217;ll do</h2>
<p>We’ll automatically tweet the gig for you when you click I’m going, I might go, or I was there. You can choose whether we tweet I’m going, I might go, or I was there events after you connect.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.songkick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tweet_post_example_blog.png" alt="tweet_post_example_blog" title="tweet_post_example_blog" width="450" height="158" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1621" /></p>
<p>And when you’re at a concert, we’ll post your tweets on the concert page to let everyone know how it is!</p>
<p>We’ll use your upcoming events calendar to search your tweets for mentions of the artists, venue, or the hashtag #songkick on the day of the gig.</p>
<p>So if you’re going to Wilco with Blitzen Trapper at Troxy tonight, we’ll search your tweets for mentions of Wilco, Blitzen Trapper, Troxy or #songkick.</p>
<p>Some concerts already have tweets attached, thanks to our CTO <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/phil">Phil</a> and developer <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/grillpanda">MattJ</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2470556">Lamb at KOKO London, last night</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2360991-times-new-viking-at-cargo">Times New Viking with Pens and Male Bonding at Cargo, last night</a></li>
</ul>

<p>We’re not pulling in tweets from festivals yet, let us know if that’s something you want!</p>
<h2>How to connect your account to Twitter</h2>
<p>Head over to your Account Settings, choose the &#8220;Share Elsewhere&#8221; tab, and click &#8220;Connect to Twitter&#8221;. You will be sent to Twitter&#8217;s website, and you will need to allow Songkick to access your Twitter account.</p>

<p>You can choose whether we tweet I’m going, I might go, or I was there events after you connect to Twitter.</p>

From <a href="http://www.songkick.com/concerts/786417-wilco-at-troxy">setlists</a> added right after the concert (hats off to you </span><span style="color: #333333;"><a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/Temporaryism" target="_blank">Temporaryism</a>) to ticket stubs dating <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/Triturus/posters/173686?sort=by_concert">back to the 80s</a> (go <a href="http://www.songkick.com/users/Triturus">Triturus</a>) – it’s been great to watch the site grow just like we hoped it would.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">So, to show our appreciation and get you dedicated contributors noticed, we thought it’d be a nice idea to create a weekly blog post where we pick out the most active users and highlight some of the great additions to the site… We’re not quite sure how it’s going to work or whether it’ll have a set format, so let’s treat this as the pilot.</span></p>
