Glastonbury, Wimbledon, Dr Who final, grand prix and World Cup Soccer all in the same weekend!

Finally imported my old entries into Dreamwidth. Not moving over completely, but decided I might as well keep it up to date, and I'm pondering letting my paid account expire at LJ. We'll see. Will have to go and fix the embedded video though.

Been a busy, insane last few days so this weekend I am planning to sit in the sun, and watch a mixture of Glastonbury coverage, Wimbledon, the European Grand Prix and World Cup football/soccer (delete as appropriate).

Sadly woke up at 6am (!!) this morning after a very weird dream and didn't really get back to sleep. But used the time to watch last night's Glastonbury coverage on iPlayer. Florence and the Machine looked amazing and wow the singer from Vampire Weekend's eyes are very green. Pretty.

While on iPlayer, I saw there was a link to a Muse radio documentary I hadn't seen. Turns out it's from a few years ago and is all about 'Absolution' and the inspiration behind the songs. It's cool, but they've basically given Matt (and Dom, but less so) half an hour to talk about all the crazy stuff in his head with an odd voice-over guy, and stories of Dom keeping naked fan paintings of Matt and the weird parties they used to have with masks. It's interesting stuff, but oh, Matthew. Oh, this band. They're ridiculous, but I adore them.

And then 6Music played bits of their Glastonbury 2004 show. Sounds amazing. Muscle Museum! They need to play that live again. Need to. Preferably at Wembley.

Can't wait for their set later tonight. <3

And while I'm blabbering on about Glastonbury, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood turning up on one of the smaller stages is very cool.

( Dr Who: The Big Bang )

I seem to be cheering for the USA in this game. *bites nails*

I am still doing the days of music meme but think I'll post it later, and probably rant about Muse again, it's where my head seems to be at. ;)
