Got the tickets from some f****d up bloke in Camden Town.

Sweet. Just picked up a couple of tickets to go see Jarvis, as in Mr Jarvis Cocker. He is doing a solo show in November @ Koko in support of a new solo album. Sadly the tickets were actually from ticketmaster ....

Take Me Out

Just got back from seeing Franz Ferdinand play at the Kentish Town Forum. Absolutely brilliant gig. Second to last song there were three guys playing on one drum kit drumming up quite the frenzy. Awesome. Its been a good week for music ....

V Festival (aka My First Radiohead Gig)

Headed up to the V Festival in Chelmsford yesterday. Luckily the rain held off until the last song of the night and it turned out to be a fun day. Strangely, after being quite excited about the line up when I bought the tickets, there didnt seem to be that many bands I wanted to see! I got to see a bit of Beck (didnt see much as have tickets to see him at a much smaller venue in a couple of weeks), The Go! Team (which were pretty cool) and a few other bands which were okay. The highlight of the day, by several orders of magnitude, were Radiohead. I have never seen them before so didnt really know what to expect. They were amazing - Thom Yorkes voice was in fine form. Incredible gig. Brilliant. You get the idea ....
