i never got around to finishing up my trip blogs. i traveled around a lot more in europe and therefore had less access to the internet and no home base to do blogs from. i'm writing this now in 2009 as i have decided to revive my blog, focusing more on music this time around. i've been bringing across previous posts/reviews from other sites, but i decided i'd better give some closure to this story before i move on. suffice it to say the rest of the trip was as awesome as the beginning. i'm not gonna go into too much detail about actions, but musically i got to see some great things. a local band called The Bookhouse Boys in London, and Krafty kuts in Brighton. I don't have any photos of either, but here's a video clip from The Bookhouse Boys, I thought they were fantastic.
I also went to the O2 wireless festival over 2 days in Hyde park in London, where I saw some fantastic acts, including:
Saul Williams
Jay-Z ("best rapper alive")
Jaguar Love (featuring former members of The Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves)
Beck. Morrissey headlined the second day, but he turned out to be a bit of a wingeing old bore really.
oh, and here's the massive box of stuff i purchased overseas and sent home.
