As the title might slightly suggest, yesterday was a pretty good day. Firstly there was the opening of the first Apple store in Scotland, in Glasgow on Buchanan Street. I was lucky enough to attend this, and wait in the queue and be one of the first to be in the store, obviously I wasn’t the first as I hadn’t been there since last night… but if that floats your boat! It was a pretty cool store though, they’d completely redone the building on the inside so it looked really immense with the glass stairs, granite tiled floor and open stone work on the walls which looked pretty cool!

Musings…
Hmm, I look at this site when I log into it whenever (and where-ever) I write it and I think, “It would looks so much better if it was remotely consistent in the whole colour scheme of things. In fact, I have started changing the style sheet/theme for the ‘red’ theme as I have aptly named it and it should be appearing sometime in the next week! Oh well, I’ll just have to wait!
Live Earth
While I was away at T in the Park watching various artists, and having a brilliant time, there was Live Earth on in all continents. This also had some amazing artists, including Wolfmother, John Mayer, The Red Hot Chili Peppers (they only played one song though), Jack Johnson and many others. The great thing about this is that you are able to watch the concert online whenever and where-ever you want. This is really quite brilliant, as in my case I was away in the middle of a field, thus unable to watch it live on TV, so I watched all of the music that I thought looked good last night at my own freedom…
Multiple Music Menageries…
I have been away the last few days at T in the Park, a 2 and a bit day music festival at a disused airfield in Scotland. Its been going since 1994, and this has been my second year going. Luckily this year I brought my camera, so as a result I have some photos …
Wolfmother
I haven’t been listening to a terribly huge amount of music this week, but I suppose if any I’ve listened to the Wolfmother album a few times. I bought it last year after hearing the band briefly at T in the Park, then hearing it in Fopp playing, where I decided I should buy it. …
RIP – Fopp
I have previously mentioned here that Fopp is an absolutely briallint chain of stores. Unfortunately, it has now demised. At least I was in one of the stores an hour before it finally closed. This really is sad 🙁 I shall now have to boycott HMV and Virgin even more as they, obviously much worse, …
Abandom them! Boycott!
Hello again! I seem like I haven’t posted in a while, whell it may even be a week and quite possibly longer, but I’ve been busy having fun away doing things etc. What I’m annoyed about this time is the general uselessness and general crapness of large record stores, i.e. HMV and Virgin. They stock …
