V muddy!

So it was time for V fest again....and of course, the weather was a bit soggy (no change there then). But we're not gonna let a bit, or a lot, of mud stop us from having a good time. This year, we went to the Staffordshire site, having previously been to Chelmsford. I did quite like it, and it did seem a bit smaller, so it wasn't as much a challenge to get up close and personal with then bands. Definate highlight would have to be Maximo Park, Paul Smith really does put on a top performance, and really gets the crowd going. Brummies, The Twang, were also brilliant, even though I had about 3 cups of beer thrown over me :s Headlining were Muse, I'd heard on the radio that they were having a ufo on stage, so was anticipating an awesome performance and show, and they didn't disappoint. They really are a world-class act, with anthemic songs, and a lead singer, who in some peoples opinions is 'God'. The laser show was spectacular, even though their set was on for over hour and a half, just didn't want it all to end!!! Unbelievable!!!

Jump in the pool....

I fell in love with this song from the first time I heard it. It's a kinda mixture of bloc party and klaxons, with a bit of carribean fiesta beats dropped in, whistles and all. There are elements of it that are really mystical, just listening to it and closing your eyes, takes you away to another place, be it only for 3 mins 37 seconds.
Definately a band to watch, I think!
