Wow!

Well chaps and chapettes, I am no longer a festival virgin! V was absolutely awesome and I had one of the funnest (yes, I know it's not a real word) and funniest weekends ever.
Band-wise, there were a few highlights for me. The following were fantastic:
Red Light Company
MGMT
Pendulum
McFly (what I could see and hear of their last couple of songs after we finally got in to the sodding arena!).
The following were pretty good and worth a watch:
Biffy Clyro
Ocean Colour Scene
The Sunshine Underground
Pete Doherty (shockingly, though I still find his solo stuff boring).
And anything else I watched, I really wasn't that arsed about. My cousin and his missus went to take in Oasis on the first night when we were at MGMT and said, in all honestly, they were pretty crap and looked as though they were just going through the motions. All this talk today about them being great in the media is rubbish, it seems. I reckon talk of them pulling out of Sunday night with a throat infection is b*ll*cks to be honest, they had a fall out in my opinion. The cuz did say the one thing on form on Saturday night was Liam's vocals, for once, with no hint of laryngitis in any shape or form!
Rather disappointingly, and despite several attempts using phone networks which simply refused to work, I didn't manage to meet up with an old mate from uni who was there. We were in the same field together, closer than 200 miles to each other for the first time in over five years, and we still failed! Oh well, there's always next year.
Anyways, all in all, the weekend was fantastic and Da Boy and I are definitely up for going again next year. He and his bandmate Buddha are actually pretty keen on entering the Road to V contest themselves next year, which would be awesome if they did and won. I could be on the guestlist and everything and finally start living my dream Rock Star WAG lifestyle!
