Boredom and new music's.

I hate this aspect of summer. The long days of having absolutely nothing to do cos there actually is NOTHING to do. The last 3 days have mainly consisted of me surfing the web and playing Final Fantasy VII. I've attempted hunting for a summer job today but yet again, there's none going. HMV really pissed me off too. Sign outside thats say's Part-Time Vacancies, suggests the job is just that. Not a full time Permanent job like the snobbish woman behind the counter told me. Grr.

Though saying that today I picked up The Open's 'Silent Hours' and finally a copy of Biffy Clyro's 'Puzzle. I've been meaning to get Silent Hours since I saw The Open support Hope Of The States in 2004. Maybe I've left it too long to purchase it cos i wasn't as enamoured with the album as when I saw them years ago. Not to say it's a bad album, just I probably would be more amazed by it 4 years ago.

Puzzle has been sat on my hard drive for about a year now and slowly impressed me more and more and got me into Biffy. Whilst I then went out and borrowed, downloaded and eventually bought the other 3 Biffy albums (which I loved even though they weren't immediate yet again), Puzzle got resigned to the 'not as good as the old stuff' bin upon purchase of the other albums. I think I was a bit unfair on it cos even though it's not as good as the other albums it's still a good rock album as it is.

I also obtained Asobi Seksu's 'Citrus' last night on the strength of hearing one song from it. My final impression was 'Whoa!' It's an amazing album. Modern shoegaze sound, barely comprehensible vocals, and really catchy in places. Oh it was a bit good indeed.

Can't wait for next week. Radiohead in London and My Bloody Valentine in Manchester. It's going to be amazing!
