Essex has assured me that my tickets will be here tomorrow, I feel his drug consumption has got the better of him.

Tonight I am off to see 90's Leeds indie band Cud. A band that are possibly in my top 20 all time bands. Certainly in the early 90's in my top 5. Always used to see them supporting the Wedding Present and saw them just way too many times, its a bit of a deal for me tonight, unsure if I will feel the same emotion I felt when I saw the reformed pixies at brixton a couple of years ago, I could easily have cried from the opening chords of winterlong, just because I knew lisa at that point was seeing them for the first time, tonight similarly, although her love for cud is strong, it doesnt even get close to the pixies, but she never got to see cud and tonight she does.

After that its Leeds, finally, hopefully.

What this post have to do with festivals, well Cud played Glastonbury and after all these years and all these festivals and my tarnished opinion of Glastonbury, the cud performance is perhaps the one performance over any other performance that sticks in my mind.
