It pays to have an open mind when it comes to music – if you hear something that has a quirky hook or it just really hits you, write it down, and it doesnt matter if you heard it on mainstream or alternative radio. Really, music should unify, not divide people. I’ve learnt to embrace all kinds of music – obviously I’ve got the genres I like and music I dislike, but when someone says theyre a fan of a very poppy song, and it is actually really catchy, I’m not afraid to agree. You make more friends when you dont take yourself too seriously: one friend I’d always seen as “super-cool” admitted he was a bit of a Justin Timberlake fan. Before, I wouldve tried to be “Cool”, but instead I said ‘Yeah, I dont mind some of his stuff.’ He said he liked that song ‘Senorita’ and I said, without thinking, ‘That’s off Justified, the debut album…’ and he said, with a grin, ‘See, everyone’s a closet JT fan.’

I found:
-Jens Lekman
-Vampire Weekend
-The Black Keys
-The Mess Hall
-That justin timberlake song thats so catchy off his second album, LoveStoned :D

I try to smile at everyone, because I’ve learned smiling is contagious, and I’ve become more comfortable with doing it, and with being cheerful. I think sometimes its just a bad habit, to see the negative in everything, and then you start doing the little things, like smiling more, and you realise its not so bad, and people are much more friendly and sincere than you think.

My first muse gig, and it was freaking awesome. Music was as top-notch as I expected, Matt was in a really good mood and talking to the crowd and having a great time, lots of jumping in the crowd but not too much chaos, great light show and special effects. Wish it’d been a total stadium, like Sydney or something, but you can’t have it all. And for Perth, they totally rocked. By the time it finished I was so sad they were leaving. They left Knights of Cydonia till second last, and made fans ecstatic…
Have to do this again!!!!!!!
