This weekend has bene gig-tastic.
bloc party friday was immense taking place in pavillions where i do my exams it was a bit surreal but the fact is was the size of a basketball court made the sound amazing, compared to bloc party at reading when the sound goes past you and objects cause the sound to bounce around and filter out.
Their set was heavily Intimacy material, my least favorite album but that doesn't make it bad.
Just ashame when they have so many classic hit from 'Siletn Alarm' and 'Weekend in The City'
and the finish was helicopter which was brilliant. to the right of us during the finale was a push/mosh pit which didn't really evolve enough so during the final 10 seconds of helicopter i ran in the middle and did a flying/twirling kick in the air and just as i landed i slipped on the beer soaked floor and landed in the position of a man doing the splits just as the music stopped and the lights went out.
it looked great but totally accidental, it made me think of my year 11 day's going to see zebrahead and bowling for soup with chris and marcus.
last night danny came down and we had predrinks at ours, then we saw mr frank turner, the lead singer of the now split band 'million dead'. his folk tunes and upbeat acoustic songs filled the student crowd in the main hall with cheer adn glee, and he entertained the crowd as well as performing which i always think is much better (in small doses)
with the clocks going back and the predrinking at 6pm and gig. we were pretty knackered
going into the su on a saturday is not always good unless some event is going on as it is dead till bout midnight.
the 'indie' room is getting worse everytime the 'dj'
is a blonde curly haired twat who doesn' know anything about music.
except his collection of 90's 'gems'
i believe he is having a midlife crisis and he thinks the only way to feel young again is to play nirvana blink, less than jake and journey every saturday night for the whole of Uni.
i thinkthere needs to be a change, perhaps everyother week peopel could apply to dj and even if they cannot mix, they could at least plug their laptop or ipod in and shed some light and varity on the people of plymouth
cause the way it is going with the same 90's music we'l all start forming boy bands and getting crewcuts adn going back to modem speed internet just to get in the swing of things
