London: Here we come!

Tomorrow I am off to London for the weekend. It promises to be an eventful weekend. Firstly, me and Baanisuu will be meeting our mates who have left this island for a better life elsewhere.
Secondly, we shall be attending a gig on Friday night that will feature the following great bands:

• Anathema;
• Paradise Lost; and
• My Dying Bride

Thirdly, on Saturday night, Baanisuu and I will be watching the musical Les Miserables.

Fourthly, we shall also be the standard tourist. Sightseeing, making photos, a couple of souvenirs, take away food etc.

Can't wait...

Portishead the video

Ok, so now you have proof that I listened to it all. I was provided the ability of embedding the video in a webpage. This is what I've done:

Porishead - 'Third'

Portishead

For all those of you who love Portishead, take a look at this:

This is a performance from Portishead performing 7 songs of their third album called 'Third'.

To be honest I am just listening to it at this moment now, but it sound very promising.

Album of the Month: Dave Gahan - Hourglass

One of the things I like about winter is to have to keep the windows of my car shut while I am driving. This makes for an excellent opportunity to better listen to music since the sound waves are not distorted with the turbulence coming from open windows.

I grabbed this opportunity to get some new stuff. My pal R had made me listed to some staff from Dave Gahan, which I liked. I then managed to get his album Hourglass which was released last October.

My impression? Wow what an album! I must admit I was not much of a Depeche Mode listener so I cannot compare nor contrast. But Hourglass is really a good listen to, especially in a month like January where you are stuck with exams, assignment deadlines AND really tight work schedules.

Hourglass is for sure a welcome addition my list of favourites.
