No two ways around it - I F*king LOVE music. I really do. Here are some examples of what I've been listening to, finding and seeing.
In theory, the photos, chart and links should update automatically, but I'm yet to try out running a YouTube RSS feed here, so the videos are static embeds for now.
The Arcade Fire doing "Wake Up" at Brixton Academym 15th March 2007. Not a great pitcure, but sound is good and manages to capture the atmosphere quite well...
This is the opening couple of minutes of The Arctic Monkeys set at the Kentish Town Forum just before August Bank Holidat 2006. We were going mental in the crowd, so the filming is all over the place, but I think that adds nicely to the authenticity - gives a great sense of the atmosphere...
And here is the whole of "Scummy" from the same sweaty gig...
This is The Kooks doing "She moves in her own way" acoustic at Islington's Union Chapel as part of Mencap Little Noise. Lovely setting and cool to have such a good view and personal performance...
...but I think I prefer the big crowd singalong. Here is a taster I filmed from the NME tent at Leeds. Same song, slightly different surroundings!
