Lazy

Apologies for not posting in so long; I'm lazy and forgetful and half the time I don't know what to write. Since Dingwalls I have been to:

• We Are Scientist at Koko- 15/06/2011 (Tall Ships, Ben Burrows)
• Reading Festival
• The Wombats at Brixton Academy- 28/09/2011 (The Good Natured)
• The Kooks at Brixton Academy- 11/10/2011 (Tribes, Scoundrels)
• Tribes at Electric Ballroom- 28/10/2011 (Dog Is Dead, The Supernovas)
• Arctic Monkeys at O2 Arena- 30/10/2011 (The Vaccines)

They were all brilliant and I was rather pissed at 4/6 of them which always makes it more fun. Reading was my first festival so that was... an experience (a good one I promise, even if it lead to being ill in bed for a week and still coughing 24/7 four weeks later.) Pretty much every band I saw was awesome, except Flats. We were looking for Fucked Up and went to the wrong tent. I am into some screamo/ metal bands (Bring Me The Horizon- awesome, Enter Shikari- awesome) but they were literally just screaming, wasn't very impressed by them but due to my half-drunken state I danced along anyway (as best I could.) NME tent was my favourite because it's really lively. If you like music, you have the money and you're considering going... do it! Just make sure you bring lots of baby wipes and alcohol. It's not just the music that makes it awesome, but the whole atmosphere; where else is it acceptable to be drunk any time of the day and stroll up to people you don't know and join the conversation or go round asking for hugs?

Again Tribes were brilliant headlining. I love their gigs because everyone moshes, so you feel like you're part of a cult family kinda thing. They were also awesome supporting the Kooks, even if we were the only ones in the crowd singing along. We are scientists were hot, enough said. The Kooks and the Wombats, also awesome. I'll admit we kinda missed The Vaccines at O2 Arena but they were amazing at Reading and I'm seeing them in December! Arctic Monkeys... Alex Turner please can you fuck me now? When the sun goes down, I bet you look good on the dancefloor, Fluroescent adolescent <3 And then his stuff for Submarine also, listen to Stuck on the Puzzle and It's hard to get around the wind. Only thing I'd say, O2 Arena tends to have more older people... who like to stay standing still... it's more fun when the crowd is crazy.

I have three gigs coming up; The Vaccines, Panic! At The Disco and All Time Low. Technically I could have been seeing The Supernovas tonight in Camden but I thought I should start being a conscientious student and do some work instead of going out... so far tonight I have taken photographs, listened to music, talked to my friend who came round and slept... but two physics booklets are waiting for me so I must go do that now.
