I'M DOWN WITH THAT: Things I Love About Berlin:
* Its rich sense of history - you come to Berlin thinking you know what you are going to get, and yet the city still manages to surprise you

WHAT'S WITH THAT: Things I Loathe About Berlin:
* Damn weather - I've said it once and I'll say it again - why must it always bloody rain on my holidays away??

If there is one thing I live for, its the next concert ... when you have it pinned on your board, months in advance, and there is so much build up and excitment ... HURRAH!

11 March 2008 - GUILLEMOTS @ Shepherd's Bush Empire
* Best Part - when the crowd really got into it, particularly the best two singles from "Through The Windowpane" - "Made Up Lovesong #43" and "Trains To Brazil"
* Worst Part - not bad, so much as a bit disappointing - they played a lot of new material. Which is obviously par for the course when a band goes on tour, but seeing the new album isn't out it, it was really hard for the crowd to get into it. Esp when the Empire has no real atmosphere anyway. New single "Get Over It" was great, but the rest felt a bit lack lustre.

* Support Act - quite the line up really! Firstly, Scotland's own Idlewild, who were fun. Then Kasabian came on, followed by Calvin Harris for a dance fest after the fireworks at midnight!
* Best part I - getting given the £45 tickets for free by a lovely couple who just wanted to give them away! Bloody fantastic and totally made my New Years!
* Best part II - seeing special guest star Noel Gallagher pop up on stage with the band and do a few songs! Amazing!
