shewhooh my oh my oh my. i am listening to magic fm (hush now) and it's making me SO HAPPY you wouldn't believe. i'm sure it didn't use to be so power-ballad centric? anyway, i only started listening because classic fm kept detuning itself, and i was only listening to that because i couldn't pick anything else up. stupid radio. and it appears to be less able to pick things up now someone nicked our lead flashings. blurble.

last night was the decemberists at the royal festival hall, courtesy of clairey. it was a bit weird, actually. i'm not sure they really suit a sit down venue, especially one where everyone feels like they have to *stay* sitting down. there was certainly not as wonderful an atmosphere as previous decemberist gigs, and not as much excellent audience messing around. though we did all get to scream like we were being eaten by a whale. which honestly DOESN'T have teeth.
i didn't seem to know many songs, i think they may have been tailoring the set to the venue with a lot of pre-picaresque stuff that i've never heard. either way, i still love them dearly.
afterwards we popped along to the aftershow for a bit and drank some free wine (DOH! breaking the 'go home early' and 'don't keep drinking' resolutions in one easy step) and chatted to c's colleagues for a bit, whilst deliberatley not talking to the band, because i'm only ever embarrassing.
and that's that.
more anon.
