I hope you all have your back to school shoes sorted because this, for
want of a better word, "summer" was brought to a close at electric
picnic this weekend and we said goodbye to it in style. Sadly I missed
all the circus tent madness on Friday night but I made it down on
Saturday and hit the ground running. maybe a bit too hard seeing as I
only made it to kills. they were fantastic tho. loved alison mosshart's
garb. another female who showed us all how to do it was our very own
niamh sandwich. she looked fantastic and the show was very impressive. I
had also brought a bunny suit to wear for the weekend but when I heard
podge was gonna break that out I decided against it. we all know how
embarrassing it is when you turn up at a party with the same outfit as
someone else. eep. foals were a delight as usual - both visually and
musically. where can I pick me up one of those?
So we kept up the madness on wednesday night at antics. maura and ollie
were tearing s*hit up in the lobby bar. I particularly loved the fact
that she played "when it started" - one of my favourite Strokes songs.
she's very good. her little face positively beamed over the decks. gotta
love those foreigners (kells counts as a foreign country, right?!)
Lots of great stuff coming up in the next couple of months. [Sarah what
is that photography exhibition in the Shaw called? - better big up
Andrama ha ha] is happening in the Bernard Shaw on the 8th for those of
you with an art eye or those who like old cameras or those who just like
the Shaw. The Rapture are djing in Crawdaddy on the 19th. I've got that
pencilled in as a suitable night to lose my mind - and this time I don't
want to find it again. And for those of you who like to plan ahead,
October and November are gonna be big with Jenny Lewis, The Black Kids,
MGMT, Ida Maria, Cold War Kids, Death Cab, Foals and Wolf Parade! I'm
gonna be the brokest/drunkest/most hungover I've ever been during those
weeks. If you wanna do some free there is going to be a Frida and Diego
exhibition in the IMMA at the end of november. I'm so excited about that
I'm going to san francisco to see it there before it comes here! get
them dates in your moleskins kids.
anyway I'm off to the land of the soon to be free (I heart barack
obama!). enjoy the weekend and remember there is nothing sexier than
being sensible. you heard it here first.
