Right. I am back in London blogging from my couch. All in all a damn good weekend. The gigs were awesome. Saturday I was really tired, I’d had about 5 hours sleep the night before and it was a really long day. So I don’t think I enjoyed the gig that night as much as I should have. The support was, well I want to say shite but I won’t. It wasn’t my kind of music at all so I won’t comment. 45 minutes of it however really killed a lot of the mood. <\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that every single person there booked tickets through a Radiohead email in a matter of hours. So there was no-one there who was not a Radiohead fan. Well, I did see one grandmother escorting her young grandson but you know what I mean. The gasps of surprise from ever single person who walked in the door as to how small the venue was. It was tiny. I was lucky on both nights, I was standing really close the stage and had great views. The build-up was phenomenal. Everyone was there to see this, the excitement was building. Support came on and killed a little of this but then at around 8:45 the Radiohead lads come on stage and go straight into There There<\/i>. Man those drums just rocked. As soon as they started the crowd just moved and didn’t stop. Two nights, two long sets, two different long sets, two great gigs.<\/p>\n
There Glastonbury set should be the highlight of the year and I think those Point tickets will have to be mine.<\/p>\n
Hail To The Thief<\/i> which I always enjoyed has grown on me so much over the past couple of days. I’ve been listening to it all day and I’m loving it lots. Especially the tracks which I wasn’t so hot on. In particular Myxamatosis is a great tune.<\/p>\n
Other than that, the weekend was good. I had dinner with my family on Sunday night and other than that just chilled a little. Weather wasn’t great, lots and lots of heavy rain so I didn’t get to walk around as much as I had hoped but ah well.<\/p>\n
Noticed this last time I was home but it was worse this time. Sleeping in a single bed is a little uncomfortable after sleeping in a double for so long. It was a tad alarming to wake up Sunday morning inches away from waking up painfully on the floor. <\/p>\n
Having had some time to think over the weekend, I’m going to be London based for another while. As much as I dislike the city itself, I don’t really and I just need to get over it. So there.<\/p>\n
Buffy<\/i> finale is downloading and should be ready for my viewing tomorrow night. That would be a good thing<\/p>\n
