Not Many Experts

Part I can (and should) be found here. This is what the latter part of April and early May had to offer:

Saturday at Leeds 2009… Vampire Weekend, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bloc Party & Radiohead. There will just be no need to move. An added bonus is that it’s “rock day” on the NME/Radio1 stage so, unless you are prone to unpredictable violent outbursts á la Gallows, you won’t be missing any of your favourite bands!

I genuinely feel complete inept to describe how good the main stage that day is, but there is absolutely no need for me to walk you through what’s worth seeing that day – just stick to the main stage and you should be fine, right through to Radiohead’s gloriously confusing finale.

I’m not really a fan of Valentine’s day, but I am a fan of Bloc Party and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to post “Tulips”, the b-side to 2004′s single “Little Thoughts” that is believed to be among the best ever Bloc Party songs by many fans. Heart wrenching greatness that shows the strength of their songs; it’s almost impossibly to believe how this came to be a b-side, and not even make it onto debut album “Silent Alarm”.
