The Valentines? Yes please. Oh and I went to a Wombats concert.

So on monday night I went to see the Wombats at Hammersmith Apollo and before I start I have to say I really hate Hammersmith as a venue, I just don't like the way the place is set out and the way the sound waves bounce of the wall makes it quite obtrusive. Anywayz The wombats were brilliant, they had amazing stage presence and the audience were LOVING it which is always a good sign. Most of their audience has gradually got a lot younger with all the 'cool indie kids' beginning to love their music, they've lost the older audience they had with "Boys, Girls and Marsupials' which is really a shame to be honest.  They did a mix of their old and new stuff which was good seeing as the haven't released their album yet so it could have been extremely tedious if it was all new stuff. The set ended with 'Lets dance to Joy Division' which was bloody brilliant way to end a lovely evening.
My only concern was the support acts. In hindsight the first one wasn't that bad, they were lovely (possibly swedish people) Called Team Me, They were sort of loveable which is an odd way to describe a band but they really were. However it was the second support act I had trouble with, I didn't catch the name, But apparently nor did anyone else, I've been trawling the internet with approximately no results, But in honesty I couldn't give a jilly because they were so so very awful. They sounded like every other female indie/pop artist under the sun which I was not loving. The drummer appeared to have an arm spasm causing him to constantly point at the ceiling and the lead singers face was completely covered by her hair which was plain distracting. At one point I got extremely excited when she said they were to do a song called 'elves bus' only to be crushed by the realisation she'd said 'Hour glass', I was gutted truth be telling.
It was an overall brilliant evening despite the drunken girl in front of me, although I have to admit guessing which song she'd flat out collapse in was mildly entertaining.

Other things i'm loving this week include the brilliant and hilarious 'Valentines' band, They have brilliant music and a hilarious blog which makes them brilliant and hilarious I do conclude. Their song 'We are the Band' Blew my socks off and it is beautifully catchy and so unbelievably true and it has a charming beat :) They are my music crush for certain. You NEED to read their blog you will be pissing your self with the giggles. Their facebook page is mildly humorous too (if by mildly you mean bloody comical genius) and I do in fact fancy their way with words, if that be possible. I think I may be in love with them.

In other news Charlie Sheen may be a God of sorts, Yes of course its sad give him some pity blah blah blah but has nobody else read his interviews and thought he was like some kind of mutation? I think he's just so amazingly odd that we should make some kind of statue in his honour? No, just me then? Cool.

Sopio Cards came today :) Wahey! If you're like "What's sopio" then I pity you a bit. It's Alex Day's (Nerimon's) marvellous card game thats just to hard to explain yet wonderful. To be honest, The rules are fairly incomprehensible but I care not. They are AMAZING. I've never loved Nerimon more except the time he opened the video with "Hello, Sexy" And the "Hello youtube, Do you want me to do a video for you?" one, That was quite splendid.

On a final note I've been loving my James Blake this week and Jagga's been a recurring hit. If you're unsure as to who I speak may be, then google/youtube them. Lovely.

Now I shall return to my dull and monotonous life.
