Oooooh Crystal Castles excites me! Not to mention the rest of your list. Didn't someone trap LINKAAAAN PRK in a spaceship directed at the surface of the sun? Or was that just a music video (unfortunately)? Speaking of music and failing, I've spent more time with Victoria and Alex than I have with my assignment due tomorrow. Fingers crossed for you!

Bloom is even more beautiful after a few extra listens! If you can find the B-side to the Lazuli single, it's also amazing. I dunno, album of the year so far would go to Beach House or Grimes. (surprise.) But I agree this year's been pretty poor. I'm really looking forward to Twin Shadow though :D What else is coming out in June/July? Bahahaha I'll try to creepily cut a couple of Lana's goddess locks for the both of us. Splendourtime sadness :( (I didn't expect it to sell out so fast with that lineup either, jus' sayin')

Guess who's staring lovingly at his copy of Bloom? I don't think I'd say I like it more than Teen Dream at this point, but it definitely has a chance after I get to know it better. Troublemaker and New Year are early favourites. A part of me thinks "You know, you could've had these songs seeping into your ears 2 months ago..." but I'm glad I waited- the packaging is really pretty O_O Still your favourite 2012 album?

HEHE Shhhhh your secret's safe with me and my paws. I didn't know Grimes was coming! November/December, I love you! Oh Beach House. I have a stupid moral condition that if a band I really like releases an album, I can't listen to the leak. So I could've bitch slapped the internet when Bloom leaked last month. Hey May 15, how you doin. If you love it, it must be brilliant! x_x

So I got really shit at replying to last.fm messages. Sorry! Hahaha I guess you wouldn't want the same experience twice though, right? He's just so great to look at. Golden Plains was brilliant fun! Real Estate, First Aid Kit, Seekae, Naysayer & Gilsun, Black Lips and, although I'm not a fan normally, Bon Iver were all fantastic. Among others :). The crowd was really chill too. Grimes is my 19th most-play artist... urghh. I always enjoy looking at which bands you're going to see next! Have fun! (don't look at mine).

Hahaha shhhhhhh 260 plays in about a fortnight isn't an addiction... no, not at all. She's also my phone background. She's just so great. Damn. Your 57 Romantic Streams plays remind me how glorious that song is. I'm sure it'd work as a substitute for my Grimes problems. How was Ariel Pink, by the way? His set was so great at Golden Plains but I felt like I needed to be high on a few substances to get more enjoyment out of the 2nd half of his set..

Yeah! I meant to mention the 100th post thing as well but failed to include it haha. Do you have a tumblr? :) I know what you mean when you say most of them suck. Mine isn't about Dr. Who and stupid instagram photos of "hipster lofts" and B-grade minimalist graphic design projects so it really doesn't belong on tumblr...

Hurrhurr I'll try to write less this time.. I guess he was just hurrying from the stage to the building all the performers chill in and someone else stopped him already for a photo. He was really shy and nice about it, saying something like "I really need to go meet someone, but ok!" And that's it. Congrats on the setlist though! I was front and center and didn't manage to get one. Not that I'm complaining now...! Eurgh so so incredible, that set.

Heyyyy I've been meaning to gush about Laneway all over your shoutbox but I've been sick since I got back from it so I've been in bed and away from my computer. Girls was just the best! You certainly didn't lie. Amazing set. Was so happy they played Carolina. And I got a photo with Christopher Owens afterwards! I'm pretty goofy-looking in it though. And YES, Twin Shadow was so great, I love how different his sound is live. Crashed on the grass and watched Cults after that which was predictably cute. Toro y Moi actually wasn't too bad! The sound was good and the crowd was really into it. Austra was surprisingly fantastic, because I didn't think much of their album, but they had this insane bass which was a pretty fun way to wait for Girls to come on. Other than that...TPOBPAH was lots of fun and M83 was a great way to finish...pretty lights and all... Yeah we were pretty easy on the eyes, as crowds go ;)

Best compliment ever! And our music in common does not include any of the bands that I am embarrassed to have listened to in high school!

There's a Metronomy fan forum, from 2008 to 2010 we ripped most stuff from the net, bought rarities and contacted people etc. Now it's all over, but we got most of the content we sought. Also I thought that this amount of gig rips wasn't great at all for new fans to discover the live act so I compiled the All Those Evenings bootleg from it all :B

Well you can go at [url=http://cid-e1f98857a9601095.office.live.com/browse.aspx/Metronomy/]this address[/url], browse through the folders and dowload what you want. It is possible to select a folder and download it as a zip from the right menu. I suggest you start with the UNRELEASED & RARE maybe? There's also a ton of live stuff :)

Hahaha okkkkkk so despite pretty much memorising Feist and Glasser's set times it didn't occur to me that they had a 10 minute overlap. The thing was that I think they're both ok so wouldn't mind if I missed either, but I needed to fill the gap between Cults and Toro with something. But yeah, I'll watch 90% of both then. Easy. THANK YOU for your wisdom. Ah well about Laneway round 2, you probably saw most of what was worthwhile anyway! Neon Indian and Ariel Pink'll ease the pain hehe

Niiiiiice. Yus, I definitely wouldn't miss Girls! I'm planning on seeing Twin Shadow too, so I guess I'm bound to have a brilliant day. Shame about Toro, he's pretty much going to be the only chillwave I get all day, so I was hoping he'd be pretty great. Fingers crossed Melbourne gets the sound right! Hnnnnnnng overall, though, reading what you said is making me critically excited about the whole thing. I'm still torn by a Feist/Glasser clash but whatever...Sounds like you had an insane day, how amazing!

Same for me actually, this timetable turned out really well. Yuck/The Pains of Being Pure at Heart/EMA would all be great to see, I'm okay with one clash though. I didn't know they had changed the stages, that's great! I spent so much time dying in the sun last year, Beach House in the shade would have been the best thing.

Haha that's great, I don't remember anyone looking too horrified doing that so you must have done well. I don't know if I can wait a whole year to see him again, that feels like so long right now. Excited for Laneway? I completely forgot it was so soon, that was a nice surprise to be reminded of.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, I'm bad at noticing shouts. It was so incredibly good! That was easily one of the bests concerts I've ever been to, I still can't get over it. When he comes back again I'm going to convince so many people to come, it's something everyone needs to experience! This video turned out really well too: http://vimeo.com/35126405
