Dam Mantle

In all fairness i have had a pretty good weekend. Friday night was spent in Oxford at a noodle bar and ice cream parlour celebrating my friend's birthday, and yes, the photo of what looks like some sort of chocolate and ice cream concoction was my food, and yes, i did eat it all.

Today revision seemed an impossibility, and the only thing that was getting me through my art coursework was Pink Floyd and The Stranglers. On Vinyl, how hip.

Recently i've also been really into Dam Mantle. The person behind the name is Tom Marshallsay and creates experimental, electronic music. I first downloaded one of his tracks when i found him on the Urban Outfitters Music Monday playlist, and have been hooked ever since. It is something very different to what i would normally listen to, but the music is just as good. His EP is released on 25th July and a few of his videos and songs are on Last.FM, Soundcloud and Youtube now.

Guess who i'm going to see.

Yes, i have both tickets to see The Horrors and standing Arctic Monkeys tickets, where The Vaccines are support! Sadly i do not have an Arctic Monkeys photo saved to my laptop, so i am unable to show you a photo of their beautiful faces. The same can't be said for The Vaccines, i think they must be taking up most of my computer's memory.

I'm feeling very very very very very ecstatic to be seeing The Horrors in Bristol though, the venue is only about a 700 person capacity, which makes it even more wonderful, as even the horrors themselves say that their music sounds better in a smaller venue. I'm praying that i may even get a chance to meet them, however my sister being her, wouldn't want to leave until half an hour before doors open, and would want to go straight home after the gig :( But i think seeing them in the flesh will be enough, although i miss Josh's old haircut already.

i've also had my hair dyed and cut, and i now have to face the task of learning a whole science module for an exam on Friday, do about 3 pieces of Art coursework, create a whole English presentation about a dream job and finish some textiles work, dreading it
