Out of place

Watching/listening to: Placebo - Special Needs (Live on Soulmates never Die DVD)

They are playing Leeds Festival right now. I really, really wish I was there, but because I'm not, I'm watching the DVD instead, and pretending.


If you like Placebo and have never seen this, You have NO IDEA what you are missing. So fucking good.

LEEDS FEST

Listening to: Placebo - Come Undone

Yesterday was AMAZING. There's so much to say about it, that if I tried to write it all here it would take me hours on end, so I'll just put up some photos and captions. :)

Arriving:

Skint and Demoralised


Pulled Apart By Horses (who actually gave me a headache D=)


Then we went to a Youmeatsix signing.

Enter Shikari


The Surprise Act was a band who's name I don't know, but consisted of DAVE GROHL (Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stoneage, Nirvana), JOSH HOMME (Queens of the Stoneage), and John Paul Jones (LED ZEPPLIN).

The Courteeners

Youmeatsix

Atreyu

It was during these guys that Goodman left me, to go and see The Prodigy. We were going to meet by the loo's at 9, but never did. She text me, but I didn't get the messages (saying she was stuck in the mosh...) and so I stood with her dad and his friends, worried sick where she was for an hour or so. I missed The Blackout :( I don't blame her; I blame her phone, but she does owe me a Blackout gig, now ;)

During the day I bought myself a beaaautiful PLACEBO t-shirt, because I've wanted one for aaages, and even though I didn't see them (they play Sunday... :/) I still got it. :D



During the rest of the day I also saw Patrick Wolf, White Lies, The Prodigy (from very far away), Arctic Monkeys, The Gossip, 65daysofstatic... they're all I remember.

So, apart from the hour where I was terrified for Jess (even though she was perfectly okay, just a bit squashed), it was a fucking amaaaazing day. Bring on Next year!!! ...Although I could NOT camp. I'd buy three day tickets and do lots of travelling, instead :p

Common Dreads

Listening to: Enter Shikari - Step Up

I just finally managed to get hold of their new album, 'Common Dreads', after putting out an 'ad' on facebook. Managed to get an old friend to send me it, and i'm only three songs in, but I already love it. The lyrics are a bit political, but when I watched their interview at GIAN I knew that already. I can't wait to see them at leeds fest. I'm so gonna pay more attention to them there than I did at GIAN; I was tired after The Blackout to pay loads of attention. And besides, I had silly merch men taking photo's of me :')

As usual, I've done nothing today. Watched TV for 4 hours, then read. Then read something else that I stole from mum, which I've already gotten too much into after half an hour. Will probably go read some of that again after this album plays. Or, read it and move my laptop so I can still reach the headphones into the socket so i can lie down and read... I'll figure it out. Another two days of nothing to come, but I must begin science revision. I meant to start today, but never did... Ah well. This science module is pretty easy.

Night night
