This is all true.
I have been doing some cycling recently, I've tried to do more because I enjoy it, and it is good for me. I have also realised how unfit I am, very, it would seem. Although even after going out once a week or so, I feel less unfit, however still unfit.
Music news.
Back in September I saw The xx at The Coal Exchange in Cardiff, which was brilliant, far better than I was expecting, and also the venue itself was rather surprising with its old 'church-esque' dark wood fittings and dingy nature, this all played into the hands due to the fact the bass rattled through the floor and the lights stood out exceptionally well. I liked it. Loving The xx's new album too.
Roll up October, there were two notable gigs. Firstly Radiohead at London's O2 Arena, to which I'd never been, and I was slightly let down (I thought it would be bigger).
I did not have the words to describe this experience on the night and I still lack words good enough to describe it. I'm sorry, but it was just really really good, but better than that!
At the end (ish) of October I travelled to The Louisiana in Bristol to see a reasonably new band, Peace, they have just released their uber limited 12'' EP on white vinyl, it is called Delicious, and it certainly is delicious, especially 1998, but all of it is fantastic. Check it out.
October also brought news on a intimate Foals tour and album news.
I managed to secure tickets for 3 dates on the intimate Foals tour I mentioned above. The first week of December will see me travel to Gloucester, Southampton, and Bournemouth for, what I hope will be, 3 nights of crazy and enjoyable times!
November (5th, to be specific) saw the release of a brand new Foals track, Inhaler, and IT IS SO GOOD. I have listened to it a good number of times and it just gets better and better, it has the most sexy beginning. I think I'm in love. This day also brought the news that they'd be playing a show at The Royal Albert Hall in London all the way in March of next year. I have managed to get some seats for this, so that'll be something to look forward to in the Spring.
In other news, the new Bond affair, Skyfall, is a pretty swell film, and I'd recommend you splashed out and got your butts to the cinema and had a good couple hours. Do it, or not.
I'm going to leave you with the new Foals song that I talked about and you can judge it for yourself.
If you have more time, go a listen to
over and out.
