I gave my friend the Maximo Park tickets yesterday, she was so pleased... bless her! :D I can't wait now, it's so good finally being able to talk to her about it, I wanted to mention it so many times before but obviously couldn't, because she didn't know about it.

They're 30 Seconds To Mars. It wouldn't surprise me if you haven't heard of them - most people havent =P but they're a really good band if you're into rock/alternative music ^^

Now 2 days :D

Apparently Zane, Ash and The Automatic are going to be at our end of year ball. Which I won't be at because I'm going home so I can go to London and see Architecture in Helsinki. Tsk.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

6 days to Maximo Park!

Just looking at more gigs. The Wombats are playing next month on the day I have a 4:30pm exam, but we think we can make the gig afterwards with time for a takeaway in between. Should be good, just have to check when my other friends have exams because they might not want to come if they have a 9am next day. It's only first year though -- exams aren't that important.

Also looking at The Twang. I've only heard Wide Awake though. Anyone like their other stuff?

Yey to Maximo Park! I've got some other songs by The Twang that I can send you if you like? I might be up for coming to the gig too, depending on when, where, how much etc. :)

Maximo Park and Art Brut last night were truly amazing, possibly the best gig I've ever been to. The first support band were definitely worth missing - just think two crazy Lily Allens crossed with a bunch of 5 year olds let loose on some musical instruments - but Art Brut had so much energy and the lead singer was using the mic cable as a skipping rope, which is something that you don't see very often. The crowd where I was at that point were the dedicated Art Brut fans and the band did well working the crowd and their songs are good too. They finished with a mix of Good Weekend and Formed A Band, which was great.

When Maximo Park came on, the crowd up the front got too crazy and we had to move back a bit. They opened with Graffiti, then played most of the songs off both albums. If you don't have Our Earthly Pleasures yet, you should definitely go out and buy it. It sounds good on the CD, but so much better live. Being in a huge crowd all singing "love is a lie which means I've been lied to, love is a lie which means I've been lying too" is a great feeling. Even though the album has only been out a few weeks, everyone there knew all the words, which was brilliant. They played Going Missing as the last song before the encore, which was amazing, as I love that song. Then they came back on and played Kiss You Better and Parisian Skies before finishing on Limassol.

If you get a chance to see them, definitely go.

:D What she said! ^

Me and my friend were a bit tired and she wasn't feeling too great, so we decided to stand upstairs on the balcony and watch the madness that was happening downstairs, rather than be a part of it.

The gig was excellent though, like Cindy said, they had so much energy and passion which was so cool to see. It's made me want to be in a band! :)

Eddie from Art Brut was quite insistant that we should all start bands. The indie scene is already flooded though. I think I'll keep on with the degree....

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
