I never said I was brave

Kanye West is a Douche!

On the other hand mewithoutYou are awesome been listening to them a lot recently and they constantly surprise! You think you know which direction a song is gonna take then they hit you in the face with pure brilliance!

Tomorrow should be good, a designated pub day!

I need to do something to change my life completely because I have been myself for so long it seems as though I have had a personality change and I hate it. I want the old Hannah back.

I'm losing all my friends

My brother the gun

I'm off to Arts Fest today! Should be good fun, the music not really my scene but its free and I'm sure drinking will be involved so it shouldn't be too bad, plus I haven't been out in ages! I'm listening to bit of Mariachi El Bronx (The Bronxes alter ego) at the moment, it's great, saw them at Reading and their a really fun band I do recommend you listen to them!


I'm very torn at the moment I really, really want to go see Rise Against and Thursday in November but they are playing nowhere near me and the only options are Manchester or London which sucks. There is also the problem of finding someone to go with :(.

On another note I have started driving lessons, I thought being 22 it would probably be a good time to start and It's great fun. I've 3 lessons so far and I can't wait till I have my own car, lots and lots of road trips will be on the cards!

Memphis will be laid to waste

Before start I have to get one thing off my chest Reading Festival is not a fucking fashion parade! (well it is sort of!) Stupid girls in tiny shorts and kitted out in top to toe in Topshop should be refused entry! My only gripe with Reading Festival is the number of twatty, immature people who go. There needs to be an age limit of at least 18 possibly 21!

Anyway rant over.

All in over the 3 days I managed to clock up watching a grand total of 26 bands! The majority of which great! Bands of the weekend have to be AFI for an absolutely stellar performance, I was right in the pit for this four rows from the front and nearly touched Davey Havok!!
Alexisonfire in the Lock-Up no words can describe how good they were, they have so much passion and put so much effort in, with the whole crowd singing every word to every song and a hauntingly beautiful version of Happiness by the Kilowatt I couldn't have asked for anything more! Surprise of the festival had to be Gallows straight up hardcore punk they know how to put on a great show!

Honourable mention also goes Funeral For a Friend who played a blinder of a set even when the sound went off halfway through and it was absolutely pissing it down, quite possibly the best time to watch them with a greatest hits release on the horizon the set list won't disappoint! Brand New a band that probably should have played in the tent were great although a very short set, would have liked a lot more! The Gaslight Anthem, Lostprophets, Billy Talent and Thursday all spectacular. Rise Against were immense with punters spilling out of the Lock Up tent! I also enjoyed The Bronx will definitely be listening to a lot more of them! Manchester Orchestra were also great! With the crowd loving the keyboardist and percussionists mental moshing!! Best/ stupidest mosh pit goes Middle Class Rut, great band, dickhead kids!


Theres some great footage on http://www.bbc.co.uk/readingandleeds/2009/videos/

I'm still recovering now going to work this week was not a fun prospect but a nice day off tomorrow!
