Hey ho! Let's go!

If I was studying psychology I would already know what I would write about in my dissertation. There's definitely something about hats..
Yesterday was a good day. I got at least three flies with one hit: got a chance to work for a good cause, listen to some really good music and got some schoolwork done. all that in one night. Oxjam Aberdeen Takeover took place yesterday in 4 different venues. I was campaigning at the Drummonds. I gave people awesome "FAIR DEAL" knuckle tattoos and got them to sign the petition. It was a slow start, but as it got closer to midnight it picked up and on the whole I'd say it was a success. I'd never done this kind of campaigning before so it was a good experience. Bonus of this was that I got see some pretty interesting acts. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of a guy who only had his guitar to accompany him on stage. He was fun and upbeat. But the band that really blew me away was Kashmir Red(http://www.myspace.com/kashmirred). As far as I'm concerned they have the whole package. You won't get the picture of what they're like from their myspace. Their live is so much better. To become successful they need good people to take care of them. That's probably the biggest problem that bands have. You might have everything, but if people don't see or listen to you then you won't get far. Though, In UK the atmosphere seems to be more welcoming for the new bands to start off, because at least music has a proper business here. While in Estonia there aren't that many places for new bands to show what they've got. However recent years have shown the birth to some really cool events: Tallinn Music Week is the most successful one in my opinion. But that's only because the people behind it truly care about what they do.
Another band I liked was Weather Barn(http://www.myspace.com/weatherbarn). Really different from Kashmir Red who reminded me a bit of Kasabian. WB has more surfing flavour and naive sound, but in a good way.
Another highlights of the week: waking up on Wednesday morning and seeing the snow falling down from sky..it was beautiful..equally beautiful was last night as the sky was so clear you could see so many stars shining upon you..yes, the so called little things do count ;)


I honestly didn't think she is such a good singer. Also check out Biffy Clyro's version of "Love Sex Magic"..it's so gooood! ;)

NB! You don't need to look for fun when you are fun

Cheerio, dear chicas and chicos!
