oh-oh-oh I'm on fire

^^^ from last night... I didnt take this... but yeah yay!!!!

OH MAN YOU TOTALLY HAVE TO GO SEE BAT FOR LASHES. srsly she is absolutly one of my favourite live performers, she is amaaazing. Her stage presence is like electricity (wow cliche, whatev), and her voice is just as good if not better than on record. And her costume was amazing too. I know thats not really important to her but I mean I guess it does create the whole live experience. basically it was a black long sleeve leotard, which I dont usually co-sign so much as a stage costume since everyone does it and its sort of boring, but she did it way well. like i said it was long sleeve with cool vertical chest panels, cool shoulers and the back was all drapey and sweet as. I dont really know who it was by but it was quite familiar to me. Anyway what made her outfit really special was this amaaaazing sparkly cape she wore over the top. I LOVE CAPES. like really so bad. so that was rad rad rad. and her band was pretty sharp too.
Anyway her music is so good live definately even better than on record. its like tribal with big drums and electricity (did i already say that?) and just awesome awesome awesome. I cant tell you enough how awesome it was. I didnt have my camera (BS) so no pics from the gig until somewhere else does a review and i can steal them.
OH and she did this amazing encore where she did a duet with a recording of herself on video. difficult to explain how cool this was.

Anyway I am just now trying to listen to her again but its a battle.

STOP PRESS!!! just found this recording of her encoure on youtube. its not the best recording but you get the idea yo.



(shes changed out of her costume by now)

I'll take a midnight train going anywhere

actually babes I'm just going back to Reading. I need to pack and sort lots of stuff out... i so cannot be bothered. Today was my last day of work for a little while. above is the highlight of the day, haha. Ive had Bat for Lashes' Daniel in my head all day. I freaking love it.
Have you seen PJ Harvey's new video for her song (with John Parish) Black Hearted Love? Its directed by the Chapman brothers, and its really nice. watch it below yo. I can't believe I'm finally getting to get to see her live this week, ive literally been waiting years for a gig I can go to. hurrah!


Das all relly bebz. xxx

hello hello hello its only me.

Im gonna be so busy the next week or so... tomorrow I've got a day off work so I'm gonna finish that bastard essay (eugh can't believe i have to write practically the whole thing in one day... I don't know if its gonna happen...), Saturday is my last day of work then on Sunday Im heading back to Reading. On Monday Im gonna have to work like billy-O getting all my stuff ready for tuesday where I have to present the work Ive done over the holiday (which aint much yo). On wednesday Im heading to Birmingham to see PJ Harvey which I am so excited about. Thursday I'll be travelling back/having a day of rest. More work friday, more resting Saturday and then on Sunday its the Yeah Yeah Yeahs gig in laaandan. phew! so much to do so little time.

Its probably because all of this that I don't have anything interesting to say about anything except my own life.

Im so looking forward to seeing Bat for Lashes again this year at Latitude festival. Im hoping to try and get to a show sometime as well. I absoltely love love love the new album.

DAS ALL.
