omg I love Truthpaste so much, I think they are my favourite upcoming band, they’re so good and their live set further cement that feeling in my mind. They were insanely cool, they played a lot of music they had not released yet and it was so good! they were going down a bit more electronic route and I loved it, electronic + folk = Adam’s wet dream. I had a blast
I just LOVE live music, it’s so good and so fun, I can’t help but jsut jump up and down!! it’s so amazing hearing such talented people. I genuinely live for these moments, I’m only truly at peace when hearing music it’s just so perfect. I used to feel self concious about being in the way of people, but why, why do I think that, I’m having fun and jumping and they’re not? then they’re not having the same fun I am and they’re nobheads for it. If I had the money I would be at a gig every single day.
Monks DJ set was super fun as well, speaking to random people I do not know, but it’s great. I LOVE ART
Primavera day 1
Acts seen in order:
Blood Orange, Geese, Oklou, Father John Misty, 2Hollis, Melt-Banana, Fcukers, BenUFO, Six Sex, ¥ØUUK€ ¥UK1MATU
Highlights:
- Doing some MD and finally getting to see Geese after everything, latched onto to some Spanish fellas and pushed right to the front, was insanely fun and I had a great view of the glorious Cameron Winter, was so atmospheric with the rain coming down
- Seeing Fcukers at 3am after staying vigilant in the rain for hours, warmed me right up as I was so wet and fucking freezing but best believe I was going crazy for some Fcukers
- My biggest surprise was Six Sex she was so good, crazy energy for 5am, and it was quite funny how due to the rain, the only people who stayed that long were the Spanish people and some English, the crowd was still super lively though
guess who I’m seeing laterrrr… the one and only Smerz! got tickets for me and brother for his Christmas present all those months ago and it’s finally time! Funny story about these guys, I was in a pub a few months back and went to the bar to get a drink and this Norwegian man just started chatting to me, after like 20 mins of talking to this random man at the bar I said I like the Norwegian duo Smerz, he was confused and didn’t know who they were and I showed him a picture and then it was like a eureka moment, he instantly went ohhhh Smerz! and proceeded to tell me how I was saying it was wrong it’s pronounced more like Smurts or Smairtz, so I got a lesson in Norwegian pronunciation. but then he whipped out this little fun fact for me, he told me that one of the girls in the duo is daughter of the minister of finance of Norway! he’s also held the position of prime minister of Norway at some point AND was secretary general of NATO??
went the arcade wit my friend for her birthday, and she was out beforehand so she was pretty sloshed, so best believe I absolutely wrecked her on Mario cart and any other game we played 🤪🤪🤪 she was trying to drag me to this club thing she was going to, but I ain’t got time for that, but as I’m the gentleman I am I walked her to the venue in these artic conditions, unfortunately the last bus back to mine was also coming up at the same time… so when I tell you I was running for that shit i was RUNNING for that shit, she got into the venue safe and I got the bus so we all won in the end !
it was my uncles 71st (a real life unc) today, and we were at his house but he gave me 3 vinyl he found! what the heck, what a guy, one of them is a 3LP as well, I mean it looks like it’s suffered a bit of damage but still pretty cool. Unc picture included so you can grasp the man, he’s got the guitar on him at all times, but don’t dox my uncle please, thanks guys
went to another pub quiz yesterday, we did better this time by two points so there’s progress, and despite the multiple entries of walking on sunshine in the music round, it was actually the answer to none of the questions so was a bit disappointed there.
