I Live In Building 26!

Hi everyone!
Yeah, I only just realised that. My old house was Number 26. So I guess I used to live in Building 26! Creepy... But quite cool.
Anyway, today's top story: Yesterday I went out to see the Days live! So, this is my report. We got a bit stuck in a traffic jam on the way in, so we ended up a little bit late, in time to catch the tail end of the first support band - Picnic Now! They're a sort of folky, Panic at the Disco type group, with a lady singer, and I really enjoyed them. In fact, so much so, I bought their EP. They finished up with a cover of Wonderwall which, despite not being as good as the original (of course)it wasn't bad! Also, whilst buying my EP I got talk to Harry who, for those not in the know, is the Days' drummer. That was pretty awesome. I wish I had a pen, I would get everyone to sign everything!
The venue was awesome as well. The room was pretty small, and there were only three hundred people maximum there. Whilst it's a shame to see the bands don't have that much support, it was great because we could get right up close to the stage! Everything felt really relaxed, all the support bands were mingling with the crowds, and everyone was chatting away.
So the next support group was a band called the Nominees. In my opinion, they weren't as good as Picnic Now!, but they weren't bad. They were like a combination of Muse, Fall Out Boy, White Lies and the Arctic Monkeys. Loads of guitars, and quite a variety as well. So I got an EP for them as well (these EPs were really cheap!) and also a Days T-shirt which I'm wearing now. The posters were free, so I got one of them too. Hooray for free stuff!
After a surprisingly short wait, it was finally time. Harry was first on stage, taking his seat behind the drumkit, and I knew instantly what they would open with - Sure enough, it was No Ties! Brilliant!! The others quickly dashed onstage and within seconds the performance was in full flow, so much better than the recordings, once again! So, from there, they went through some of their old tracks, including some stuff I'd heard at SFG, as well as a fantastic rendition of Kate, one of my favourite tracks. They also did a couple of new songs, including an awesome number known as "Who Said Anything?", which is pretty awesome and I reckon it might also be quite popular with today's music market, as it's quite bluesish without being overly R'n'B. Also, my favourite lyric of the week: You think you're looking through a window, but you're looking at a wall. Hehehe...
They also went through a few covers, Usher's "Love In This Club", which was quite...amusing. They then wound up, after what seemed like no time at all, with their next single, the incredible "Never Give Up". If S-Club 7 springs to mind, think again, because this is so much better. While this, in my opinion, isn't as good as No Ties, it's still brilliant, and a great way of rounding up the show at the end of an awesome evening. Shame no-one else could go, but next time hopefully I'll have better luck. And hey, at least I saved money!

Okay, so that was last night. In OTHER news, I had my AS Spanish Oral today, and despite all my fears, it went as good as I hoped it would. I got all the topics I wanted, and although I had a couple of stutters, I think on the whole I've managed to do enough to secure a good mark. French on Monday - To be honest, I'm probably more concerned about that, because Mrs H doesn't seem to have a clue what's going on! Never mind, I know it's exactly the same as Spanish, so I shouldn't struggle too much. ALSO, the elections for Head Boy have now begun, and today I had to deliver my hastily written speech with some invaluable input from my brilliant brother to get some good laughs out of the crowd (ROCK! Yeah!). We'll have to wait until next week to see the results, but fingers crossed I'll get the majority!
What else...Oh yeah, Star Trek looks AMAZING. JJ Abrams has really done good work bringing it up to date, and I can't wait until it comes out! Um... I'm way behind on Robin Hood, and Heroes has almost finished, so I've no idea what I'm gonna occupy myself with during study leave. I hope I don't get hooked on Flog It like Mum! Urm... I have a rubbish cold, but I don't think it's Swine Flu, luckily! Yivvits and MrBubble are soon to return to the airwaves; they released a trailer yesterday and it sounds like really good fun! hopefully that'll be out some time in the next couple of weeks. The Veronicas are due to release their second album officially in the UK on 8th June, although I've already got it. This might, however, give me the chance to see them live! Wooo! Ofsted coming into school next week - It's so funny seeing all the teachers trying to encourage us to be on our best behaviour etc. etc. It's going to look so staged! Anyway, enough from me. Please leave me comments if you have time, you know I love getting your feedback. Until next time,

See ya 'round!
