I swear to God, one day I'm going to document my entire life on the internet. A site where I can keep an obsessively detailed list of all my DVDs? Got it. A site where I can keep an obsessively detailed list of all my CDs? Got that too. Pretty soon its going to be a site where I can keep an obsessively detailed list of every breakfast cereal I've ever eaten.
For now though, the new obsession is - Songkick.com
Let me explain; it has a database of countless live gigs, ones that are still to happen (where you can buy tickets) and others that have happened, where you can either simply click "I Was There", adding to your own portfolio of live acts you've seen, or you can add the setlist (if you have it), add live photos (if you took them) or any other notes, add-ons etc. Any small gig that no-one's put in there yet? Add it yourself.
It really is VERY addictive, and it can also let you track who else is going to the same gigs that you are, in case you want to fuel any scary "soulmate" stalker fantasies. Meh - it's fun the first couple of times.
So if you've got a spare hour, and you've kept all your old ticket stubs (surprise surprise, I have), you could take a trip down memory lane or even score some tickets for some future shows.
Check the site out, and I'll give you a quick glimpse at mine to show you what it'll look like. It's a work in progress, of course (I only discovered this place on Wednesday).

Really though - how cool?
