Laura Cantrell was good, although legs are aching from standing up too much! IT was the kind of concert where you want to sit down and relax.. we got there too late and all seats taken so had to stand! Bugger..
Went crazy and bought Be your own pet - damn damn leash Japanese import CD - I must be mad.. always discourage others from such wasteful purchases! But I do love that damn damn track!
Also got cool new Arcade Fire DVD single with a couple of live performances on which is good.
bye for now

i spent the morning in bed watching
changing rooms.. they designed some pretty terrible ones.. but i guess its bound to happen when one is subjected to a designer who may or may not have the same taste as you..
time to go try to hook up my record player in the living room..
see you
ps.. you should also get another parker and lily album called hello halo.. its my favorite

Trip to London went very smoothly today.. seemed to be fairly quiet .. which means no hassle getting a decent seat on the train and underground.
Did manage to visit a record shop before my meeting and acquired..
Richard Hawley - Coles corner LP (Richard is from Sheffield like me so have to get this)
Josephine Foster - Hazel eyes I will lead you LP...

BAck from festival.. remainder of which was great.. too much beer and fags on Saturday.. and not much record buying as limited quality stuff available..
Some highlights?? The Amazing Pilots.. their album has been my woozy, disshevelled, poppy gem of the summer so really enjoyed them and got a couple of great photos.. Iain Archer played with them (has almost every time I've seen them).....
