look at them go!

We Are The Physics Are [not just] OK at music!!!

how cool! the single of the week. just out today...

so lets see...update. camden crawl, chaos indeed. for my first festival i feel like it went pretty well. next time round, i shall be more pushy, know more faces, do more.

[i always say that]

but this time its true. however, i am quite happy with everything, learning new things. for someone who just loves technology with no real education in it, my learning curve is not bad!

who did i see.... Im just going to write about the highlights as the others are not really worth the time.

Youthmovies. awesome. just fucking fantastic. such a phenomenal live show. so passionate and in their own bubble without being up themselves.

Metronomy- unbelieveable. just amazing, not something i would have thought i would like, but i truly do, sorta techno, but more than that. can't really explain it, plus they have a hella cool light show. you know those press on lights? well they wore them on their chests and did choreographed dances....awesome? Yes.

Slow Club- never thought i would enjoy a girl and guy two peice that describe themselves as making 'sunny pop' but man oh man they blew me away entirely. its not just sunny happy pop, which is its, but its also energetic and intense.

We Are The Physics- of course. thought they were brilliant, but then again, im not sure there is anything they could do to change my opinion! maybe if they murdered a small puppy, but i doubt they could ever do that...

saturday night was kind of special....so exhausted so i didn't see much-

Duels- quite good. not my music at all but they cared about what they were doing so that was impressive.

tried to see Future of The Left as they sounds really good, but it was packed so couldn't get in. also wanted to see Florence and the Machine, Bombay Bicycle Club, Post War Years, The Ghost Frequency and Does it Offend You Yeah? did see Lykke Li from Sweden. shes a pop singer but surprisingly good. which was cool.

also folk-y type people, check out Noah and the Whale. if i liked folk pop i would like them. they are like Wes Anderson turned into folk music without the darkness. so its a little sweet, but they are pretty cool. so....

did see One Night Only. good lord they are bad. that is all.

but i DID get to see the wombats. which makes me absurdly happy. they are pop. pure and simple. but awesome pop that is fun and enjoyable and bouncy. their crowd was violent and scary, but they seemed to love it. plus they played my two favourite songs whilst i was there which rocked!

I didnt put links to most of these because that would take loads of time and really i want you to check out these specific bands.

anyway, i have loads to sort through in the next few days to prepare me to go home, which i am so excited about i can't really stand it! but it will keep me busy and i can say all in all, it was a great few exhausting days!

a hello from off the reservation

this is not about anything, its merely because i haven't said hello in a while. at some point, when i am not freaking out about visa stuff, passport stuff, work stuff, dont have people saying in my room et cetera et cetera so on and so forth; i will write something witty and entertaining, not the least of which will be informative.

however, while i sit here with two friends asleep, having decided not to shower and thus have way more time than i expected i shall give an update.

sister came down-awesome. god i love her. she is so funny and cool and easy to hang around with. i really do miss having her around.

then a few days of no one, back to my life, no memorable live music in a while, but loads of work. i think i told everyone that the embassy was a breeze and i should be getting my brand spankin' new passport soon, like today or the next...

then sunday two americans came down, awesome again. haven't seen them in a while so its been very nice. plus theres two of them so they can take care of each other.

listening to you ask? well, Tokyo Police Club's new album is downright fucking awesome. so incredibly psyched to see them in ummmmmm......13 days!

[i have linked a few times to them and am far too lazy to do so again, so this post will be link free]

[a cup of tea nearly fell on a friends head-could have been bad]

We Are The Physics of course. Camden Crawl this weekend baby! and im going to add Islands to the mix soon. so not much has changed, but the single Tessellate kind of epitomizes how i feel right now. perfect soundtrack song.

i am not ready to go home. i mean i am ready to see my family, eat some amazing food, see my friends and generally be a sloth for two weeks, but i am certainly not ready to give up this amazing life. i love it here. it is everything i had hoped and more. surprisingly more.

the fantasy i had is no match for the reality i have.

also- if i get to stay, a friend at york might be moving down here in the fall and i will have a proper roommate! so that will be more than exciting.

also i have created a plan in which i get to go back to the states twice in the summer and one of them will be partially for work so....heres hoping my ingenious plans work out

[aka i have cash for it

i have visa for it

i know i will have time for it]


i love the sun. especially here- so i leave you with the thoughts of the brilliant George Harrison

here comes the sun and its alright.
