Music I love

Found this old school footage of Pearl Jam last night.
Eddie Vedder vocals are just superb.
The music of my youth

Mayer Hawthorne - A Strange Arrangement

Recently my favourite librarian recommended I get a copy of this album.
Yes my favourite librarian haha You read this correct.
Anyhow back to the music. I got a copy of Mayer Hawthorne - A Strange Arrangement and what a truly special album. If you need cheering up or just want to put on an album that you can relax with then this album should be your go to album. Enjoy

The Edge radio station in Auckland recently got 'One Direction' fans together and created a massive human banner. I went along with my camera and took some photos for the 'Stuff' website.

Below is the link to the human banner video The Edge radio station created.

Real Estate, The Kings Arms 15/03/12

Went to see 'Real Estate' play last night at the Kings Arms.
My friend was so excited about seeing this band and had very kindly brought me a ticket.
She didn't want to miss anything, so we got there really early and settled in for the evening.
We actually both got asked for ID on entry by the security guy.
Now I am not going to reveal my age on here but put it this way after being asked I felt so awkward for the security guy.
He was about to find out how old I was and it was going to be really embarrassing.
Lucky for us he didn't make a big deal out of it and let us pass by.
We both felt pretty chuffed with ourselves after that but really I thought... (I think I only got asked as my friend looks alot younger than I do.) haha
Anyhow back to the band. My word amazing guitar playing combined with sweet, surfie pop songs.
The kind of music to play on a summers afternoon with your friends around.
Favourite songs of the night are 'It's Real' and 'Out of tune' and I've posted the videos for these songs below.
Now please excuse this image below as it was taken amongst the crowd and I was down the back.
Plus it wasn't on my professional gear as I didn't bring that gear along.
