Jaypurs I'm wrecked. I feel like a flattened crow on the M50, run over by a million vans. Between Menomena and the blog awards last night it was the weekend of too many pints for me. The awards were a laugh though, even if they did feel a bit like attending a double glazing conference in Norwich with all those chairs facing a powerpoint presentation. Rick O'Shea was a great host and cheers to the people who organised it.
Nialler9's win was well-deserved too!
Lots of real versions of online entities were knocking around and it was cool to meet them and say hi, even if it was in a very drunken effusive way.
Menomena were super on Friday. They were versatile, tight and succeeded admirably in playing songs from a tricky and complex record live. Everyone at the gig seemed drunk! Or maybe I was drunk and everyone else was sober? I'll be putting the review on the Analogue blog tomorrow. Right, I'll be off to retreat back into a shivering foetal heap in my bedroom, where I'll listen to something beautiful and forgiving like this.

Twas a fun ould night indeed - I can't remember the last few hours of it but it's sort of coming back to me in dribs and drabs. What a giggle. Great to see you and Loreana too!
Thanks Aoife. We had a ball.
I'd love to see Menomena live. I'm soooo jealous. Glad to hear the awards were fun.
