The lovely Allie… Beautiful, self possessed and so effortlessly cool.
She who, like my darling Gaby, could make me wish I’d had a daughter…
So… What did we get up to? We were going to make the effort for Azealia Banks, but we didn’t. We were going to make the effort for the Buzzcocks, but we didn’t. We ended up listening to the Kaiser Chiefs from the fenced confines of the beer garden, which was fun, while we did a spot more people watching. We caught the beginning of Mr Galagher too. Ate more scrummy garlic fries. Talked of life and love and music. What more is there?
Wandered back to our tent to dress warm for the evening and basked in the wonderful California light… And the sunset…
Watched Bon Iver. Beautiful.
I wanted to down load a vid but the internet is just too fucking slow… LATERS… Think I’ve cracked it now…
And then Radiohead. Prime position. Right in the thick of it. Amazing. All I expected it to be. Incredible light show. Every song a different colour. My faves… 15 step. Morning Mr Magpie. Pyramid Song. Myxomatosis. Karma Police. Identikit. Lotus Flower. Final encore… Idioteque… I cried. Isaac nearly fainted. We survived… and stayed for all three encores. One of the best gigs ever. Worth the journey. Worth a lot.
