The past few days have brought rain winds and shine, so how will this weekends weather shape up, loud, fun and memories. Anyone going to Oxegen leaves the weather at home with their freshly made tea, warm towels and dry socks.
So, for what it’s all about the music right? Here a break down on what I am hoping to see this weekend.
Friday Dirty Epics*, Fight Like Apes, Duke Special,Lily Allen*, The Script, Snowpatrol* and Blur
Saturday Regina Spektor, Pet Shop Boys,Squeeze, Blizzards,Morrission, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Elbow, Bloc Party and Kings of Leon*.
Sunday Florence and the Machine*, Katy Perry, White Lies, The Ting Tings, Calvin Harris Lady Gaga, Paolo Nutini, Razorlight and the Killers.
* Last year I was a big fan of the Dirty Epics but their performance was seriously lacking a but of what Sarah Jane Wai O’Flynn is know for that something special, hopefully it will be there this year. Loving the Lily Allen album hoping that her performance is as good as the album. I sawSnowpatrol playing the O2 a few months back, Lighbody’s voice was missing its deep huskyness that I love. Last year Kings of Leons performance did not live up to expectations and was a bit disappointed, however this year they are headlining the main stage so here’s hoping. Finally, I am keeping the best till last that is Florence and the Machine. Their album ‘Lungs’ is brilliant no need for the skip button for this one.
For those of ye that are heading to Oxegen this year see ye there!
This is definitely one of my favourite websites at the moment. Probably best described as a cousin of “PostSecret”. This site however leaves anyone who wants to post anonymously to do us. Some of the stories are laugh out loud others will draw a tear from the driest of eyes.

Chinese girl gets ‘kiss of deaf’
A young Chinese woman was left partially deaf following a passionate kiss from her boyfriend.
The 20-something from Zhuhai in Guangdong province arrived at hospital having completely lost the hearing in her left ear, said local reports.
The incident prompted a series of articles in the local media warning of the dangers of excessive kissing.
“While kissing is normally very safe, doctors advise people to proceed with caution,” wrote the China Daily.
The doctor who treated the girl in hospital was quoted in the paper explaining what had happened.
“The kiss reduced the pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear.”
The chorus of warnings was echoed by the Shanghai Daily, which wrote: “A strong kiss may cause an imbalance in the air pressure between two inner ears and lead to a broken ear drum.”
The young woman is expected to regain her full hearing within about two months.
