Well! What a week!
We travelled down on the Wednesday, enjoyed some lovely weather and food and company and many beers. Too much to tell so here is a quick rundown with links!
Began with Vampire Weekend, who were really good! very enjoyable set and really connected with the crowd. Plus lead singer is cute! Later went to MGMT which was really good, but the audience was young and silly and a detriment to enjoyment. Stuck by left speaker, so not the greatest sound. Lots of Time to pretend sang around camp all week!
Next day was Holy Fuck who I can't find any glasto footage of, probably cos BBC is too pussy to write their name even though this was one of the highlights of the whole festival. They were unbelievably good. Prog in song form. Truly inspired me. Later that day saw the secret gig by Franz Ferdinand with a sneaky glance at Foals as I passed the Other Stage. Foals were more Mathrock than I had realised and I enjoyed them although I was only waiting for Cassius to come on. :) Franz pumped out hit after hit and no one could resist dancing. So fun! Finally was the amazing Schlomo presenting "Music Through Unconventional Means". A human beatboxer who was absolutley stunning. He had a triple slot on the Park Stage which he used to bring on as many special guests as he could, from Jazz to Indie he got his guests to sing while he beatboxed over the top. Amazing.
So I got back and have so so many ideas for music I want to write now. Want to work out how Secret Machines and Holy Fuck do it and create things along those lines. I think with a sneaky nudge it would lend to some dark electro. Have been messing around, still finding it difficult to get things working, will probably go through the tutorials again. having been trying ot work out wjat I'll need to record some music using my computer - STILL don't understand. I probably should ask a friend, but it means opening myself to critism. Pride is for losers. :)
