I was just about to start uploading photos from Leeds. Then NME phoned and asked if I wanted to go on tour with the Futureheads and The Pixies, as in right now. There are some things one doesn’t say no to. The only problem is I have be out the door this very second so I can make it to Manchester tonight…
Ten random reasons why Leeds Festival was great: /1. Having a production pass. /2. MCR kick starting the festival. /3. Hanging out the side of a helicopter shooting pics of the site. (Check out this week’s NME for the poster)/4. Getting drunk with Art Brut and listening to Helen Love. /5. Matthew Rake playing us an acoustic version of Terror! on their bus. /6. Downing neat vodka with QOTSA. /7. Finding a Kendall badge on The Others tour bus. (Can anyone explain?) /8. Standing at the back of the stage watching while everybody in the Arctic Monkeys tent sang along to ‘Scummy’. /9. Drinking vodka and watching The Cribs. /10. Not eating all day then having the guys from Retna blag more free McDonalds than we could possibly need.
Just a quick update before I head to the pre festival meeting at the NME. Since Monday I’ve spent most of my time doing various pics with the Queens Of The Stone Age, here’s a teaser.
