on the bright side.

Still on a high from On the Bright Side, although that may also be secondary to being around so many people smoking pot. Quite a lot of bands of the electro-pop slash house kinda genre, which is a bit strange for a music festival. However, I turned up late and missed all that regardless. Except for Art vs Science, which I still do not entirely get.

Band of Horses, which sounded like something I'd like. Will download and find out.

Angus and Julia Stone, who were FANTASTIC, and so dreamy and beautiful. And they played all my favourite songs! They're really not all that good at the talking bit of live shows, though. I'm pretty sure Angus was high as a kite.

Mumford and Sons, which were ever-so-good live. People singing along were deafening. Hearted lead singer's waistcoat getup.

And The Strokes, which I almost missed out on seeing because I wanted to bail and go home, but was prevented from doing so by Tim. I'm surprised at how many Strokes songs I know just from playing Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Although they did the annoying thing of playing a really short set and then coming back for multiple encores. I'd left by then - they'd played most of their good songs already. Everyone was cheering and clapping - not really "OMGWELOVEYOU" though, and more of the vibe of "come back and do your job, dumbasses. I paid to see you play for more than forty minutes".

I brought my Golden Half (partly because my SLR had been deemed to be too awesome for such an event), so pictures flood Facebook when film gets developed. I can't wait!

In other news - I have never seen so many tweens dressed up in so little clothes. Apparently, to fit in, Ray Bans, cutoffs, and ripped stockings are necessary. Also, as I said before, smoking pot.
