Awesome. I've been uncharacteristically excited about it all.Despite threats of pouring rain the sun managed to creep out a gig on the beach (The Panama Kings). They weren't much good, but it's nice to get things underway.Tonight i'm looking forward to seeing:Kap BambinoFantastic looking (sounding) French band who are NOTHING LIKE CRYSTAL CASTLES.

Since we last met i've moved to Brighton, which is nice. Particularly if, as now, the sun is shining.

I'd been listening out for 'Brash & Vulgar' after hearing it on a recent Soulwax mix, and it's surely going to be heard out on a lot of dancefloors in the coming months. There's a killer riff running through, with a few of what have become In Flagranti's trademark vocal drops. http://www.headphonesex.co.uk/2009/02/people-went-mad-when-they-heard-that.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (headphonesex)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10314528.post-2835520108030513281Sat, 14 Feb 2009 18:08:00 +00002009-02-14T18:10:26.536ZFERN KINNEY - LOVE ME TONIGHThttp://www.headphonesex.co.uk/2009/02/love-is.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (headphonesex)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10314528.post-5346649319609957164Thu, 05 Feb 2009 01:00:00 +00002009-02-05T01:01:15.411ZOh man this is so good... i've lost count of the number of times i've listened to it this week.

There was a lot wrong last year, and not just the mud, but as soon as it started I was of course wishing i'd gone.The big news was of course Jay-Z headlining, and Noel Gallagher displaying unprecedented levels of twattishness by saying that Glastonbury is an indie festival & Jay-Z wasn't welcome.
