Inopportunities

Remember that song 'Operatunity'? No? Your primary school life was obviously not sprinkled with a stint in the choir singing tunelessly and not actually being able to hear yourself over the other child squawkers/prodigies. Basically the song was about singing opera but being a supermarket worker/butcher or whatnot which I don't remember in all its wondrous detail.

Well let's rename that song 'Inopportunity', disregarding the fact that it's not an actual word. That song epitomises this blog post. A completely inopportune time to write blog post because I should be studying and writing an essay at this very moment, not writing random things just because I've realised that I haven't written anything for a long time.

What's happening in the music realm of late which I'm excited about/is of interest:

- Muse are still in the studio writing a new album
- Klaxons recording their new album but being sent back to the studio by their recording company to re-record it
- Bloc Party and MGMT announced for Splendour in the Grass for their only Australia show (me getting over-excited but deciding it's too much money and rather far away and Splendour subsequently selling out)
- Yves Klein Blue will tour Australia in July - the Adelaide date is July 11
- Patrick Wolf releasing his new album and releasing music videos for 'Vulture' and 'Hard Times'
- The Wombats and many other brilliant bands will be at Glastonbury Festival. Ah, Scotland.
