Isle of Wight Festival 2007

isleofwightfestival.com

Fri: Left work onsite and busted a move to the ferry with Mal. Arrived to a setup tent (thanks lads!!) and got to business with partying down to Groove Armada and Snow Patrol.
Sat: Relaxed in the sun for most of the day and then went a little bit mad for Wolfmother, Kasabian and, of course, MUSE! Brilliant!!
Sun: 'hippy' passes the baton and becomes 'Damage' once more until all settles down in the arvo. Pints help and all is nice again for the rockin' Rolling Stones!

Great weekend with the 'tribe of hedonists' I know and love! :)

Moodlog: Sad

No wonder, listening to this depressing stuff. Pity it's such a cool track..

Markus Schulz feat. Departure - Without You Near

It's a little bit lonely down here
It's a little bit faint without you near
Without you near

Is it wise to say
While the other's waiting
She's contemplating you
Another passes by the door

Any other day
You just look around and
All you see is gone
All you see is gone

How can you sit there watching
Someone else?
How can you sit there
sit there watching

Faint without you near
Lonely down here


Listen

Fat Boy Slim & Chemical Warfare DOUBLE HEADER!

Stand-by mr. hippy for a weekend of aural pleasure!

Mmmm... aural...

Friday 16th:
Fatboy Slim, Brixton Academy
You know Fatboy Slim, I know Fatboy Slim. Now I finally get to see him live. London rocks!!

Saturday 17th:
Chemical Warfare XMAS Party and here @ The Mass, Brixton
"Set in the shell of a converted church, Mass is a 3-room club offering 90K sound, lasers & visuals, 4 bars, seating and a friendly atmosphere", this will be one occasion where I gladly enter a church!! :D

Jack Luppi and Chris Liberator are back for this Chemical Warfare, but best of all, D.A.V.E the Drummer is playing.

If he's near as good as when I saw him play at Teriyaki Anarki Saki (Hi-Fi Bar) then.. excuse my French.. FSCKING WOO!!!

Name-Drop: Dan will be 'Managing Director of Carnage' (or something) on both nights. He was in the DJ lineup along with DtD that fateful night at Teriyaki!
Bring back Dan on the decks! Bring back Dan on the decks! :D

Franz Ferdinand, Alexandra Palace, London, Dec 3rd

Franz Ferdinand storm Alexandra Palace

After 101 train changes Dan and I arrived at (insert station name here) and wandered into the nearest pub, The Gate. No one to be found. Calls made.
"Oh, you're not there yet? Thought you were gonna be there from 4? It's called the Starting Gate? Oh, it WAS called the Starting Gate.. ".

Inside for a pint, my drinking ban disappearing faster than you can say "Dan, can I borrow 20 quid?".
Soon spotted Leeds Paul and Co. approaching..
Then Shaun and 10? cohorts arrive..
And then..

I've left this post way too long and I'm giving up. Franz Ferdinand rock in the studio and they rock live. Had a frickin' ball!! They rocked the house!! (insert a bunch more sickly-sweet positive remarks here!)

Silent Discos?

"The idea is ingeniously simple. Clubs give punters wireless headphones on entry, complete with volume, bass and treble controls. Clubbers can then turn the volume up to 11 and dance all night without waking up the neighbours."

Moscow! I found it!

Moscow, Moscow, throw your glasses at the wall

'Why' I was searching for this is perhaps attached to some greater meaning, but I fear this greater meaning will remain hidden. Probably for the good of us all.

Moscow.. Moscow.. lalalalalalala..
Moscow.. Moscow.. lalalalalalala..
Moscow.. Moscow.. lalalalalalala..
