The Blackout Secret Show.
Yesterday (Mon 3rd Aug) Ali and I went to see The Blackout at Camden Barfly.
Gosh!
We got in the queue behind a right hottie at about half 5. Doors opened at 7. We got into the actual gig room at 8. Bad times. We had quite a few jokes in the queue though, making fun of a really annoying obese girl with pink hair (euugghh) and her friends. HA.
Also, the guy doing the merch for The Blackout had the sexiest welsh accent ever. Plus he was pretty hot too ;)
First off were some band who I still don't know the name of but they were pretty rubbish so it really doesn't matter!
Next, WAT
O. WATO stands for We Are The Ocean if you were wondering.
It was my 5th time seeing them and they were on top form. I'm not sure it's their best performance I've seen but they were pretty brilliant.
Alfie, the 17 year old guitarist, was looking SO damn fine I actually nearly died. Wow. I love how I caught him mid-jump in that picture xD
During "Ready For The Fall", Dan, the lead singer (if you can really call it singing), came down into the crowd, quite conveniently to where Ali and I were and jumped around with us for a bit. I went so mental and it was so cool to see him like getting proper involved. I was so excited that I did wrap my arms around his hips for a little bit. I love him. But I love Alfie more. And unfortunately it was too dark for me to get a decent picture of Dan standing right in front of me =(
Long story sh
ort, We Are The Ocean were amazing as usual.
And then came the long and grueling wait for The Blackout.
I think pretty much everyone in the crowd could tell that this was gonna get messy.
First song: S
TFUppercut. Sean Smith is standing quite literally on top of the crowd and climbing around the room using the bars on the ceiling.
Second song: I can't even remember what it was but Gavin Butler took his turn to swing around the room ending up standing on the bar at the other end of the room to the stage.
And then the inevitable happened, they started taking requests! Gavin chose Ali to pick one of the songs and she picked "Hard Slammin" (YES! I LOVE THAT SONG).
I managed to squeeze Gavin's arm and hold Sean's hand for a little bit. Gosshhh <3>
I have been left with a ridiculous amount of bruises and I managed to keep my glasses intact until the second to last song when they bent out of place but I've managed to sort them out now =)
Basically, The Blackout's set didn't finish until 23:20 which meant that we weren't able to stick around and meet them or WATO (even though we'd had the chance to meet Jack a.k.a. Adapoof and Alfie but we'd bottled it at the last second). So that was rubbish.
We then had a ridiculous trek to get back to my house which meant we actually arrived home just before 01:00. I was not impressed.
But all in all it was an immense night.
Finally, I'd like to say sorry to Curie who wasn't able to make it to the show last night seeing as she's in Korea at the moment. She would have loved it and I'm genuinely gutted she wasn't there with us =(
Peaaceee.

This gay blog just deleted the end of my post so I'm now going to rewrite it angrily. I can't remember all of what I wrote either. A
ARRGH.
Gavin filmed the crowd for a thing for Grimmy on Radio 1 where the band has to get the crowd to scream as loud as they can and then they put it up on the website so I'll link that when it goes up.
ARRGH.I have been left with a ridiculous amount of bruises and I managed to keep my glasses intact until the second to last song when they bent out of place but I've managed to sort them out now =)

Got Some Tunes [August]
I'm not sure if this only applies to me, but I have noticed that on Firefox the 'Got Some Tunes' ilike playlist doesn't show up. I also now have an issue meaning that I can't edit the playlist at all which is a tad annoying but I'm working on it.
Panic At The Disco: New perspective
I'm not gonna lie, I thought this song was going to be dreadful and waste of my time. I stand corrected. I think it sounds like it's from the middle ground between the first and second albums but it don't sound bad at all!
Wall Street Riots: Did you know that retro-pop was an aphrodisiac
If you took William Beckett (TAI...) and stuck him in a room with Canterbury and Tonight Is Goodbye I think they would sound a lot like this. I swear this is the catchiest song I've heard since that last one from Soulja Boy.
Canterbury: Eleven twelve
Their first proper single. It's brilliant as are Canterbury. It's out on the 24th. Go buy it. OR ELSE!
Death Quit Dancing: Swings and roundabouts
This was sold to me as rock/metal/emo/panic at the disco-esque. And essentially that's what it is. I think that the singer's voice is extremely annoying but I quite like it and have got used to it but it is quite hard listening to begin with. If you like your music to confuse and bewilder you whilst you listen this is definitely for you.
Ducksauce: Anyway
Ducksauce is Armand Van Helden and A-Track coming together and making this IMMENSE dance tuune.
You Me At Six: Kiss and tell
This song is immense. It's similar to Finders Keepers but minus the dreadful chorus and I think there's a little bit of influence from songs like Gossip and Save it for the bedroom in there. If you like YM@6 definitely check it out.
Smasher: Simples
It was only a matter of time before someone sampled the 'Compare the Market' advert with the meercat, you know the one. Luckily this guy has and god has he done it well!

Sixty.
Louise is walking down the road. HEY LOUISE! Wow, that's irrelevant!
Sixty seconds in a minute.
Sixty minutes in an hour.
So why does the clock never read 60? It just goes straight to 0. You can't have 0 seconds or 0 minutes! I will invent a clock that reads 60.
On facebook a while ago there was a thing where you had to write 25 things about yourself.
So if 25 wasn't enough, here are 60:
1) My full name is Natalie Isabella Haynes Webb.
2) Most people call meNatta but I prefer Natalie.
3) At the time of writing this there were 128days until I am 17.
4) I talk way too much.
5) I never have any money and when I do I spend it on stuff I don't need.
6) I'm not stupid, I just don't have a very wide vocabulary. I keep a dictionary next to the computer at all times.
7) I love to contradict myself.
8) Don't lie to me.
9) Don't move my stuff.
10) I get angry pretty easily. Just don't piss me off.
11) I'm good at making myself laugh/smile again when I am pissed off.
12) I believe I have multiple sclerosis and persecutory paranoia. But I don't think I'm a hypochondriac.
13) In my opinion I make amazing party mixes and mix CDs. I'll make you one for your birthday.
14) I wish Mr Allis had never left and I miss my drumming times with Alex.
15) I love the Kerrang! Unsigned show more than any other radio show.
16) I love unsigned shows, I genuinely find new music really exciting.
17) I hate unsigned shows, I can't find the music anywhere.
18) I'd do anything for Caterbury and Exit Avenue. Those guys are lovely.
19) I'd love to own a record label and have my own radio show.
20) Warped Tour 2010 and T in the Park 2011. Wanna come?
21) I buy Rock Sound every month without fail. I'll subscribe when the offer includes a good CD.
22) Deaf Havana are officially my new favourite band. I've been into them for a while, but GOSH are they good!
23) I just made my first ever megamix; i.e. I shoved 5songs together and called it a new song.
24) I listen to radio 1 a hell of a lot. I LOVE ZANE LOWE! And Huw Stephens.
25) I have movie nights every Friday 13th. Next movie night November 13th; Birthday special!
26) I wish that I could draw well.
27) I love those little 10 year old skaters. They're so cuuute!
28) I'd really rather not do A Levels and I don't wanna go to Uni.
29) I hate going on holiday. I'm afraid I'll miss something.
30) I like rainbows and thunderstorms but I've never seen them together.
31) Crosswords and soduko are amazing to pass the time.
32) Reading is the most boring pastime ever.
33) There are over 120 posters on my bedroom walls.
34) Sony Ericssons are the worst phones ever.
35) My mother employs me to do the laundry.
36) I tan ridiculously easily but I hate going outside. I also don't see the appeal of having a tan.
37) Straight edge? Pretty much. Unlike the last person who told me they were. You know who you are. And I know something you think I don't =)
38) You know I buy the Tony Hawk games for the bonus footage of Ryan Sheckler.
39) I love twitter so much. It tells me everything.
40) I wear the same clothes all year round.
41) I love my handwriting but I need to learn to write faster than I do.
42) I spend way too long on the computer.
43) I eat way too much. It's funny because then I wonder why I'm overweight.
44) I could eat ketchup or cream with anything.
45) Curie got me obsessed with youtube. Favourite youtubers include: AmazingPhil, Charlieissocoollike, KickthePJ and DFizzy.
46) I hate piercings.
47) I want to get tattoo sleeve on the top half of my left arm.
48) I watch way too much tv.
49) One Tree Hill is my favourite programme but I don't get why they brought back every character in Series 5 apart from Nikki and Jake. I need Jake Jagelski in my life!
50) It was a bad idea to give me freeview in my room because I now never leave my room.
51) I'm gonna go on Wordplay on channel 5. I'd be brilliant and would for sure win the £1000.
52) Ami and I were on tv on Sound on BBC Switch, it was the show with You Me At Six and Chipmunk.
53) I love the Eardley family a ridiculous amount. I have no idea where I'd be without them.
54) If I could only pick one, it'd be a tough choice between Josh Franceschi and PJ Liguori but I think Josh would pull through in the end.
55) Alex Baker (Kerrang! radio) is such a ledge, he is amazing.
56) I aspire to drum as well as Travis Barker.
57) Sean Smith is the sexiest man alive.
58) Yes, I find Russell Howard funnier than he actually is because he's hot... and what?
59) I get very scared when people I don't know come up to me and call me by my full name.
60) I have three aims: Be recognised. Mean something to someone. Make a difference.
Cheers for reading.
Now, go get me some ice cream please. Nice one.
I'm gonna copy Charlie (http://chaz-simplekindoflovely.blogspot.com/) here and post a song.

HP & Order of the Phoenix.
I am currently watching this film. Illegally on the net of course.
And Curie has gone to bed, rightly so as it is now 02:20 in Korea.
Therefore I am left with no one to talk to about this film.
So a blog seems appropriate.
Just to let you know, I'm currently 50min into this film.
Feel free to comment on any of the issues that I have mentioned in this post. (NB You don't need to have an account or w/e to be able to comment)

Just to let you know, I'm currently 50min into this film.
- At 43min there was a proper hottie at the breakfast table next to Ron ;)
- So now they're in the common room talking to Serius. I'm sorry, but how have the three of them managed to get the room all to themselves out of the whole of gryffindor?! Also, from what we see of the common room (and this applies in the games as well as the books) there are blatently not enough dorms for everyone in the gryffindor house to sleep.
- Luna Lovegood: Gosh she's weird. But I think she'd be quite good in a horror film.
- Phwwooarr. Fuck me Rupert Grint and the twins are ridiculously hot.
- Why the hell is Harry wearing a cardi? All the other boys are wearing jumpers, yet he is looking camper than usual in this stupid attire.
- OMG LOL. Cho and Harry's first kiss looks so awkward it's hilarious. Arms down by their sides and all. Plus Harry just looks like a right knob.
- Do you ever wonder why in the HP films it snows before christmas? That never happens in real life.
- Have you ever thought that maybe in real life that like Daniel Radcliffe actually really doesn't like Emma Watson or that maybe she hates Rupert Grint but they're forced to have to get along.
- I'm only an hour and 15min into this but from what I remember of the actual story in the book, they miss out so much about the order and that horrible house elf.
- When they're conjuring the patronus (or whatever it's called) in Harry's defence class, does anyone else find Harry ridiculously patronising to all of them, even the twins who are like two years older than him.
- I absolutely LOVE the portraits in Hogwarts. I want moving pictures in my house.
- Aww! When Ron gets all protective over Hermione when they meet the giant. I love him.
- When you know about Dumbledore being gay and all, does him saying to Harry "I care too much about you " seem a little bit like he's hitting Harry?
- That longshot at the end of the film that shows the station and then goes up to show Hogwarts; you can't tell me that they seriously walked all that way.
- And finally, I hate how all the films have happy endings. JESUS.
- Oh actually, one more thing! Why does no one in the wizarding world have a mobile phone, an mp3 or a games console? Huh?
Feel free to comment on any of the issues that I have mentioned in this post. (NB You don't need to have an account or w/e to be able to comment)
