Oxegen Day 2
The biggest question that was to be answered was, with such a line up for Saturday of Oxegen would it be possible to see everyone on the hit list?
Well, with some major dashing from tents to stages we got to see everyone we wanted. The day began with Scouting for Girls and as they got the crowd going the heavens opened, however after a quick shake off everyone was back bopping.
The main stage had the best line for the afternoon, with Newton Faulkner, Counting Crows and Amy Winehouse and REM, dashes were made to the Ting Tings in the Green Room which was far too small for the popularity of the Ting Tings. Hot chip in the Pet sounds was another pit stop as were Alphabeat and Codes. The night ended with the Zutons and The Prodigy on the O2 stage.
It was a great day, Amy Winhouse was excellent contrary to maybe sceptics in the crowd. Alphabeat even impressed non pop lovers with their tunes, unfortunately the sound at the Prodigy wasn’t great which was a pity.
For me Amy Winehouse made Saturday at Oxegen, she was excellent.
Soundtrack to Life
As I have previously posted I have such an affinity for music. I was told before that your c.d. collection is the soundtrack to your life. It started me thinking what is my soundtrack?
Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan would most definitely be my childhood. My years in boarding school was spent listening to Alien Ant Farm, Sum 41 and Greenday in particular, basket case.
Five years in college has seen my music taste loose control. Songs like Rythm is a Dancer and Maniac 2000 reminds me of nights out in Galway. Pete Yorn, Songs for the morning after, speaks for itself. Even exams have music associated with them from Snowpatrol to Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez for final year. Razorlight and The Blizzards for final year law exams.
Recently, it has been Scouting for Girls which helped me through a break up. and I’m currenlty listening to The Coronas and the Dirty Epics. The Coronas song Grace Don’t Wait, is particularly relevant like the song, I have no idea what I am doing for the summer. The Cure by Dirty Epics reminds me of my boyfriend S, he is my cure!!
So, spend a day thinking about your own soundtrack some songs will scare you, and will never be mentioned others will bring a smile to your face. Have fun and memories!!
