So tonight is the last night of my holidays and I'm finishing them off in fine fashion by heading along to see Grouplove.
I missed them earlier this year as I was sidelined with sickness and had to pass up my ticket, this time nothing is going to stop me.
One of my favourite bands of 2011, will be the first band I see in 2012.
I've heard they were amazing at Falls Festival and have everyone raving about them as the festival highlights. Tonight finally I get to see what all the fuss is about, can not wait!
He's simply amazing, Nick Cave is one of the all time greats, and today's song is brought to you by they lovely Celina...
OK! This song was my first Nick Cave experience... back in, let me see 1991, when I was but a wee 13-year-old, I went away on a seaside holiday with best friend's family up the Yorke Peninsula.
We stayed in a caravan park.
As you do at 13, we went on a night walk adventure and over by the shore we could hear music, oh! And the closer we went I was intrigued by the dark, deep sound being produced by the ghetto blasta (or in this case beach blasta!)
These boys (older of course) were a playin' THIS...! Nick Cave - Red Right Hand.
Too scared and freaked out by the sound, we hid in the bushes and stalked them all night and listened to the whole album.
I'll never forget how this music made an impact on my ears and mind.
I've been drinking and eating like a crazy mo-fo for the past week and there's no sign of it slowing up just yet. I'm now off to Kangaroo Island to see the family and my one day old baby niece.
In fact, as I write this I'm actually on a boat heading to the island, so thought this song was appropriate.
Hope your all having a great start to the holiday season. xxx
