VI ÄR BÄST!

On Friday night, while everyone else in Melbourne went to Miley Cyrus' concert (I missed the show by half an hour as I was babysitting) I decided to watch Vi Är Bäst! aka We Are The Best! - A swedish film about three 13 year old girls from Stockholm in 1982 starting a punk band - despite everyone telling them punk is dead. It's so cool, they're really cool little swedish punks - recruiting a straight laced christian girl to join their band, they write songs about hating sport, meet up with other punk boys and just hang out with each other. It's a really cool movie, I totally rate it. I wish I had been as cool as them when I was 13. So jealous of Hedvig's guitar playing ability - AND theres this really cool scene where the men at their community center have just bought a new electric guitar and try and teach her to play some simple chord because they assume she can't play because she's a girl and then she totally shreds the guitar and it's awesome. Also, it introduced me to some really cool Swedish punk music, so thats a plus.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL

Glastonbury is one of England's biggest and most famous festivals -- and I will be in attendance next year (!!!!!!) After some major struggles/almost missing ticket sales as result of screwing up timezones, I managed to pull it off, staying up until 4am, to get one of the 15,000 coach + ticket packages that sold out in 14 minutes... craziness. The lineup isn't announced until their Spring (usually May) but the rumours already have me feeling all emotional - fingers crossed The Stone Roses/Oasis/The Smiths really do grace me with their presence! Going to be amazing. The past lineups have been insane with over 1,000 acts, heaps of stages and many other activities going on. 3 whole days of the best bands in the world. Also if anyone's departing from London on the 24th hmu xxxxx x
