What a fucking week!

[americandande]

Oh man what a busy week! Tuesday was Pete birthday so we all went out for a curry and then onto Panic. The others staying most of the night but Matt and I got the last train home. Being very tired the next day, Charlotte head to an Art Brut gig. Ciccone and Vincent Vincent and The Villains supporting. It was good, Ciccone were very good live, Vincent Vincent were their usual selves, Art Brut were surprisingly good. Seriously, I think they are better live than on record. Though they were using the same jokes as last time. Then Charlotte and I went to the Works for the Indie night. It's not actually an indie but more of 'this band has been featured in NME' night. I think that Saeed and I should DJ there. Or Max. If Max did it it would be so cool! Then Will was over for the weekend so I didn't go out on Friday or Saturday, just went to the cinema to watch the Silver Surfer film. The tonight, I found out at 6pm that Jarvis Cocker was doing the Meltdown Festival. I got one of the last tickets for it. It was Jarvis Cocker and his friends doing their take on Disney songs! It was the most amazing gig I have ever been too! Nick Cave and Grace Jones preformed!!
