I noticed walking down the street today how much filth we create. The pavement looked more like dalmatian skin with the amount of chewing gum it was coated in. I thought about it and its really disgusting, I hate people spitting, I think its one of the most fowl things to see, so to think how many people have spat a chunk of whale fat coated in their spit onto the floor we constantly walk on made me feel a little sick really. I wish people were more clean and considerate.

New Found Glory- Birmingham. 16/2/2012

So I went to see New Found Glory in Birmingham. I went feeling disappointed that Sum41 had dropped out and been replaced with the awfulness that is The Blackout. The last time I saw them at Leeds Festival 2011, where the lead singer thought it would be 'rock and roll' to make himself vomit on stage, so most of the set was spent watching him jam his fingers down his throat. I couldn't decide if that was better or worse than watching the band trying to play music. Me and my friends got there late due to the ever amazing public transport system and we'd already missed most of the first two bands which left me even more gutted. As dreaded, The Blackout came on yet in a surprising twist, we'rent as bad as I expected. They played better, got a better reaction from the crowd and were more humble about themselves, there wasn't even a drop of vomit in sight. They wore Sum41 shirts and apologised for being their replacements, fully acknowledging the fact that most people would have preferred them to be playing, which I liked. New Found Glory killed it, just as a band of their reputation should. They were amazing and were well worth the money it ended up costing, they got the crowd going really well, had good banter and played their songs really well. I do wish they'd of had a slightly different set list but I don't think with how good it was that I could ask for more from them. I may have had to pay for numerous different transport systems, battle my way though a packed crowd (Which is always worse when you're my hight, which happens to be the same as most people's armpits) and sleep on a friends floor after, but it was definitely worth it. If you're even slightly interested in New Found Glory, go see them. It will be glorious, I promise.
