Doves

[Took the photos from the Doves gig with my new compact I got instead of an LX3 – Fujifilm f200 exr and its the worst £250 ive ever spent.  My LX3 was the most impressive compact ive ever used, and im now getting a new one and sending this fujifilm piece of crap back!]

I was hungover preetty badly today although this will be my last hangover for a while since im starting back to work tomorrow.  My liver is finally getting the rest it deserves.
Watched the new episode of Prison Break and it was shite.  Season 2 was by far the best and its all been downhill since then.  Ohh and if anyone is looking for a new comedy to watch then check out Party Down.  Its without a doubt one of my favourite new shows.
Went with Ronan to see Doves play in the Ulster Hall tonight.  It was my first time seeing them and Ronan told me before how the last time he saw them was one of the best gigs he ever went to so I knew it was gonna be good.  I really wish I wasnt really tired because it was incredible.  It was the best and by far my favourite lighting of any concert ive been too (2nd is seeing coldplay get the green laser out for their Rush Of Blood To The Head tour; now everyone uses it!).  They played fan favourites as well as a few earlier tracks.

What I really liked was that they changed a few thing with some of the tracks;  a slightly different drumbeat, extra notes, improvised lyrics for Black & White town.  And ending on the 3 man percussion was absolutely perfect.  One critism was that when any of them tried to speak I couldnt make out what they were saying.  But the sound was un-fucking believable!  Ulster Hall is still my favourite venue of all time.
