I’ve Been Waiting For You
I’ve just got tickets for Sunday at “V Festival”:http://www.vfestival.com/vfestival/pages/index.cfm which means I’m going to see “The Pixies”:http://www.ilovepixies.com/. (+ Badly Drawn Boy, Starsailor, Strokes, Zutons, Primal Scream, Snow Patrol). A week later, and it is time for “Morrissey”:http://www.morrisseymusic.com/ at “Reading Festival”:http://www.readingfestival.com/ (+The White Stripes) . It’s funny how neither are the main act on the night and are supplanted by the young americans.
But wait there is more because to keep me occupied until then is “Euro 2004″:http://www.euro2004.com/ which is guaranteed excitement and disappointment all rolled into one. Which team will have all the stars and yet fail to deliver? Or will Holland be this year’s Holland? Can England get past the group stages and the mighty France?
But hold on a minute longer, because this Saturday is the “FA Cup Final”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/default.stm and I haven’t been this excited about an FA Cup Final since 1996. Sure there was 1999 but that was the nervous middle cup on the way to the treble. The European Cup final overshadowed it.
Pixies, white stripes, morrisey… envious. Don’t know about how soccer fits into that though… cool, cool, cool, kicking leather up a field. Wiggy.
