More More Reading

More More More!

I forgot to mention Ida Maria from friday! so here we go:

Ida Maria: lovely husky voice and nice tophat - however I wish she had worn a bra!! a very close nipple call!

Next onto sat from Reading festival...

Bombay Bicycle Club: I still can't believe that they're my age its insane that theyre so good, the dancing panda was appreciated!

Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong: skinny skinny skinny but nice dancing/prancing

The Subways: sort of prefer their first album, was having lunch through their set anyway.

Mystery Jets: I love them anyway but we diddnt manage to get to the front and the amount of people there was phenomenal and I couldnt really see anything, but their playing was brill.

Los Campesinos: Got really confused thinking I was listning to White Lies for a while yet recognising the songs...silly me! Especially as I have their album :S was too far back to see but great set to dance to anyway!

Louis XIV: Have been wanting to see Louis XIV since I was about 15 and they diddnt dissapoint! Boogilicious sex rock hehehe

Black Kids: We were outside for these but were really good anyway!

Also saw Raconteurs, Bloc Party and the Killers

Last night i went to see Crystal Castles with my boyf, but they seemed really angry for some reason....or really drunk....and did a really short set but ahh well

Reading Festival

I actually returned on monday but have been busy since then - Reading was amazing but a bit scary on the last day with a delightful apocoliptic feel as people burned tents and danced insanely on the toilets! (or should i say excrement troughs? I think that description would be much more fitting!)

I will do a little review of the bands I saw (photos provided by www.bbc.co.uk/bbc3 or from flickr) on friday:

Future of the Left: possibly provided the best lyrics of the day with "SAUUUSSAGE ON A STIIIIIICCKKKKKK"

Pete and the Pirates: Angular and to the point, just playing no talking, wham bam thank you mam - but more pirate-y

Blood Red Shoes: Amazing as always! gorgeous as always! check check check!!! (preeettyy dreeess)

Be Your Own Pet: wellll....I think they'd given up by this point! Drunk/ stoned/who knows, but from Adventure onwards they were good - but oh my goodness I wish i suited those jeans!

Caught the end of Florence and the Machine, Esser.... then

Friendly Fires: Probably the best show of the whole event! Brazilian dancers + Brazilian drummers + confetti + pretty friendly fires man = amazing!

The Teenagers: Surpisingly much better than I thought live! Would deffinantly re-see. Poor singer fell of an amp onto his bum though, looked very very painful!

Late of the Pier: Last time I saw them was in a tiny tiny Bar Academy venue in Birmingham so I was rather surprised when this gig was incredibly painful! They were in their pijamas. Their emails give me joy and this one is my favourite pierling...

Rage against the Machine: Was an amazing experience to see these, even if just from afar! Very very political!

Will upload Saturday and Sunday once I have gathered more pictures! like a squirrel...or a stamp collector.

bad things about brighton:

Underage

Last friday I went down to London to go the the Underage festival in Victoria Park as it was the last year i'm actually underage! It was a bit strange getting trampled by about 700 14 year olds and the age difference was a bit wierd but generally it was good - my favourite youngster was a 12 year old with foofy hair and prince charming velvet sleaves, i mean I was still wearing like "tammy girl" and listning to red hot chilli peppers at 12, not ipso facto or xx teens! Also - i met Lizo from newsround! that was an experience and a half!

The Horrors and Mystery Jets cancelling was a bit dissapointing and the disorganisation of the timetable was annoying (went to see ox.eagle.lion.man. and bloody Polly scattergood was playing!) so we just ignored that and stayed at the front of the converse stage.

I bought some wellies also for Reading festival, which im going to next weekend, and underage and purchased my first ever sleeping bag!

Apart from that i'm just sorting out uni things, baking a lot, gymming almost everyday, tidying obsessively :S and watching much to much television (come dine with me is back on!) but this weekend i'm going down to Brighton with my parents for my summer holiday as we have never been before.

I've also been shopping once at tkmaxx where I got some irregular choice wedges and a cute kangaroo duffle bag!! I think it may be made for kids but its a really decent size and much cheaper than the American Apparel one i was going to buy - hurrah!

Coombe Abbey

When it was still sunny here (goodbye summer...) me and my boyfriend decided to go for a picnic at Coombe Abbey



So I just made a cake and some sandwidges and we were off




(yes I needed a haircut)
