Ok, so on tuesday I went to Brixton to meed up with IL and see The Streets at Brixton Academy. We got there around 19.30, and foolishly went inside. Turned out once inside, we couldnt step out for a smoke, but we had to wait until 21.00 before the smoking area opened! The band playing before The Streets was hideously bad. Like Brixton reggae and really really bad. The Streets went on at 21.30 and by then both me and IL (old ladies as we are) where both tired and sweaty. Plus we had to stand in a crowd filled with pikeys (no surprise there…). When Mike Skinner got on I couldnt belive my eyes! Not only had he gotten fat, but the clothes he was wearing! He had
jeans shorts on that was just above the knee, some old washed out T-shirt, a weird jacket that made him look even fatter and an old ladies hat! He looked like he was wearing those kind of clothes you wear when you are about to paint a house and wear clothes that it doesnt matter if they get paint stains on them.
We stayed for the first three songs and said if the fourth song was a hit, we would stay. It wasnt. So we left. After three and a half song. Might have something to do with the sound being awful, but from now on, I rather listen to The Streets in my ipod than onstage.
Today i went to my interview which was a big cock up. I will get very surprised if I get to the second rounds of interviews and even more surprised if I get the job. I would love to work there though, the place seemed amazing. Well I just have to wait and see…
Cheers
