small black

Life = hectic. Had to buy a new laptop. Its a dream. Desperately want to go shopping. Even more desperate for a holiday.
Went to see Small Black and Washed Out last night, had a great time. Small Black are destined to be my band of the summer alongside the Ruby Suns.

I scrapped day 2 and 3 of the Great Escape posts. It feels too long ago. Broken Social Scene were amazing

great escape day 1

13th-15th May in Brighton has been the Great Escape festival.

Day 1: Japandroids - noisy, messy, off-kilter. Liked them far more than I expected to.

Avi Buffalo - enjoyable but I wasn't amazed. Gain an extra point for the singer being called Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg though

Summer camp - absolutely awful , and then I find out the Jeremy Warmsley lookalike on stage was actually Jeremy Warmsley which made me very sad.

The Ruby Suns - had attempted to see them prior to Japandroids but they made it through one and a bit songs due to technical difficulties. Made up for this by being amazing later on, had everyone dancing, band of the night.

Post - Christmas Goodness

everyone had a good christmas?? hope everyone got some fantastic presents!

after being snowed in, the thaw has meant life is back to normal now, have soooo much work to do unfortunately. but I've heard rumours of more snow tonight maybe, so not quite complete normality then

there are a few things getting me through all the readings, one being:



...am so addicted to this song, can't wait for the new album. anyone have any suggestions?

Loving the picture for this month's Dazed Playlist - I want those bears on a t shirt!
Dazed & Confused is currently my only outlet, my reading list is such a headache I've been up reading at one o'clock in the morning several times this past week - no wonder I'm ill.
Remind me again why I'm doing this!
