First of all, The Anomalies' show last Friday was absolutely amazing. They were headlining an event with four other groups so they only got to play one set, but it was a blast. As you all know I've been talking up their debut album quite a bit, but I'm thrilled to say that their live act absolutely stands up to the test, probably even surpasses their studio stuff. I hope they get big enough that we can all go see them together in the states someday. This show was also sweet because I got absolutely obliterated with my boss. Apparently the last American intern they had wasn't very social, and didn't go out with the guys from the office. So I was kind of a surprise for them...
I took a bunch of pictures at the show. The lighting made them come out all crazy, which is cool but not very high-quality:
The rest of this week has been full of crazy amounts of work. Glastonbury, the UK's biggest music festival, is next weekend. We've got about a dozen or so acts from our label playing, so we've been working our asses off getting the promotional material ready and making sure everything else is in order.
I was supposed to take Friday off to go to Ireland with my flatmates this weekend, but they decided to bail at the last minute. I could've easily still not gone in to work, but knowing how busy we've been and being the good guy that I am, I went in anyway. At the end of the day I was helping my boss go through an empty office and we came across a box of cool shit he let me take my pick of to take home. I got a vinyl copy of The BPA album I've been raving to all of you about, a bunch of 7" singles, a signed copy of Fat Boy Slim's greatest hits album, and a poster-sized print of some original Fatboy Slim album artwork, signed by him and by the design artist. Yesterday absolutely reaffirmed my belief that Karma is totally real.
Today we got up and went to the London Museum of Natural History. We saw a bunch of really sweet dinosaur bones. My flatmates got bored really quickly but i enjoyed it. I guess I'm just a nerd like that...
Anyway tonight we're going to Stonehenge for the celebration of the summer solstice. Apparently its a giant raging party that starts at 8PM and ends at sunrise, when the solstice officially begins. Stonehenge is about a 45 minute train ride out of London. We're leaving on a train at 8:00 tonight and coming back on the first train tomorrow morning. I'm sure I'll have some cool shit from tonight to write about, so stay tuned.
The 'song of the day" is in honor of my reaffirming experience yesterday.
