Rock Werchter, here I come!

Hurraaay!!!!
I have my tickets for the 2008 edition of the Rock Werchter festival in Belgium! What does that mean? Well it's 4 amazing days filled with brilliant music and loads of fun! I read many reviews from last year (they had a fabulous line-up then) and I am convinced that this is the place to be!
Yeah, there still are 4 months, 1 LCCI exam and 1 exam session until Werchter but right now, my excitement is out of control.
Just to give you an idea of who I will see, I will mention the most interesting bands that have confirmed their place so far: Radiohead (!!!!), The Verve (!!!), Lenny Kravitz, R.E.M, Air Traffic, The National, Babyshambles, Sigur Ros, Chemical Brothers, Kings Of Leon, The Hives, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and dEUS! More will be announced soon!
OK, let me calm down :P.

Putting this great news aside, let me tell you that uni has started and it looks a bit better than the 1st semester. We have some new, interesting subjects which make up for the load of crap we had in the previous one. Of course, annoying teachers are still on the list, but hey, you can't have it all. The schedule is better too, with a free Tuesday and labs & tutorials concentrated in two days, leaving the other two days for the lectures. Oh and by the way, who the hell invented 3-hour lectures?! They are soul-draining and brain-damaging!

And now to finish on a musical note, I will reward you with two live perfomances: Air Traffic, a band I found last week and have been listening to ever since, and Interpol, my current favorite band.
Air Traffic - Charlotte (really catchy song)
Interpol - Pioneer To The Falls (Carlos is a brilliant bassist, Sam is an amazing drummer, Daniel is a wonderful guitarist and Paul is awesome; this is for Andreea :* )

Honey, yesterday I heard that the Werchter organisation sells drink tickets on the site, and like 20 cents cheaper than on the actual festival. So you might want to check that. Besides, the prices are criminal... €2.50 for a drink!
