monday afternoon, I’m sure you’ve been waiting all week 4 this.
Muse was so goddam amazing, they had like a Close Encounters of the Third Kind theme going on, so when Matt played the piano different keys made different lights come on on this board in front of the piano, it doesn’t sound good, but it really was. I’ve never seen such an awesome guitar display in my life, cos usually when I see bands they aren’t really technical, but this really blew me away, my head nodded rhytmically for the whole gig, only during the encore did I eventually stand and headbang like a cliched metal fan (not that I even listen to metal). They closed on Stockholm Syndrome, and they had confetti cannons which was SO stadium rock, and they had the infamous white balloons during the song before it.
Then on Saturday I went to a performance of Beethoven’s 5th and 7th, cos Paz was playing in them, it was actually pretty good, I felt cultured, and the violin soloist was a hot asian, so I was well satisfied with my weekends music.
Penultimate music item of the day, Blink 182 are doing a UK tour in February next year, I will totally be there, I don’t care about mini-moshers I still love Blink, my first ever punk(ish) band even if their new album is ‘different’, the gig at Wembley arena has already sold out, and the only other one listed on is Manchester. Also RxBandits are doing a UK tour in April, and the date on the 10th is ………. the Leicester Charlotte, though I’ve read that they’re playing somehwere else on that day, support will be Howard Alias, and the rumour is Desa, who were formed out of the ashes of Link80 who I really liked.
On Thursday last week I went a bit crazy, and spent £270 on clothes in town, I’m such a crappy student. Its all cos I have a credit card, and in Burtons they tricked me into getting another credit card because they just told me it was a discount card, it was only later when I found out that I had a £250 limit that I became confused. It was a good day though, I got 3 jumpers (but I’m taking one back due it having a ridiculously large collar), a denim jacket (cos I’ve never had one), a proper coat, a pair of jeans (that are actually cool), a beanie hat, and one of those belts that anyone alternative wears nowadays. So I look a bit more trendy and student like, and according to the girls and I am now the coolest guy in the house, because I spent lots on clothes.
Pretty much that was my week, I have my final seminar and 3 lectures of the year tomorrow, leaving it as my choice when I come home, I have to leave by the 12th and I’ll probably come back a bit early, though i do have 3 essays to do by the 8th and I’m only half way through my first!!!
Also I’m now taking Nytol practically every night to try and get myself to sleep without 2 hours of just lying there trying to sleep but failing. Fair enough I think about a lot of things, but getting to sleep at 5 and waking at 9/10 is ridiculous.
I have the Snow Ball coming up on Saturday, I’m pretty sure that I’ll be able to get away with only wearing a suit instead of a tux, that seems to be what the other guys are doing.
See you guys soon.
