We went to Hard Rock Calling at the weekend.. it was great fun.. to see Eric Clapton and The Police.. not usually my thing but the atmosphere was great. Oh and I loved The Stranglers! We even got to meet Craig Kelly from Queer As Folk.
I love em.. they amuse the hell outta me.. I mean.. lets just think here shall we? You’re asking me to tell you how exactly to blag it in to a festival.. backstage.. now… why would i tell you that?
Never kiss and tell thats’ what I say..
So I’ve kindly advised them to use their iniative and to send me their link if they make it in.. And now I am awaiting eagerly for Revenges youtube video… and W/B and B’s.. I hope they make it … I really really do…
Hi there,
I’m currently working as a media student, and live on the estate where
Latitude Festival is held. I just wanted to ask how you managed to get backstage and talk with the bands and explore the site fully?. I was hoping that i would be able to do this either this year or next year at the festival. How did you do it?
Yours hopefully
Revenge
xx
hey i hope you don’t mind me asking-i run a fanzine and i was just wondering how you got photo passes to latitude? w/b x
How did you blag it backstage? That’s so cool.. could you let me know how you did it? Do you need a camera man? I used to be in a band.. Write back soon! B
Well.. lets see if they make it.. I’m excited….aren’t you!?
About four months ago.. or maybe even five.. or six.. I submitted my showreel (www.ohdearyme.com) to a pepsi maxist competition for passionate music bloggers.. yes.. yes I did..
So I came home from a great gig at 02 Indigo Arena last night (We Are Scientists are hilarious.. if you’ve never seen them in an interview you should definitely go watch them on youtube.. I remember as a runner I had to log a two hour tape by them once. It was the best two hours of logging I would ever log… ) …ANYWAY logged on to myspace.. (ahem I am aware I just used the word log..yet again) and checked my inbox.. .. and it turns out the PR company for the Pepsi Maxx competition have been trying to contact me on hotmail for weeks to tell me that I’d won the competition! Don’t they know hotmail is dead??
So I have to go and find out my prize on Monday! How terribly EXCITING.. apparently its meant to be ‘the music experience of my life…’ … hmmmmm.. I think its more exciting not knowing…. but ironically I can’t wait til Monday..
Hey so we skipped over to Berlin for May Day to experience the great vibe of the workers day there - and to interview Bonaparte a great band - to see lots of interesting footage tune in here!!
Well … it got so bad in England we had to go abroad to get our
interviews (nah - not really) .. but I went abroad anyways - over to a
place called Cologne.. in a country called.. Germany.. it was here
that myself and Julia went along to a place called Gebraude 9 to
interview some bands called MSTRKRFT - Shitdisco and Punks Jump
Up…heard of em?????
Rumour around the net says Thomas Bangalter has left a brand new exclusive track on headphonesex.co.uk …. whether its him or not - no-one knows… but get on over there and take a listen.. also I’ve just found this lovely radio site - that is pretty addictive to my ears already - www.pigradio.com - check it out yar..

My name is Becki.. and this is my music ‘vlog’ as ‘they’ like to call it.. I am 27 years of age and live in the heart of London - a place that exuberates culture. I have worked in many areas of the media world.. including print, design, marketing, film and tv including -
EMAP, The Japan Times, MTV, ITV, Virtual Festivals, Paramount Pictures, British Comedy Awards, BSKYB
I studied Interactive Media at at the popular media school at Bournemouth University for three years and have a great passion for film, art and music. Whilst most girls my age were swooning over Mark from Take That at 15 - my first love was Blur… and I held a secret place in my heart for Oasis….
I hope you enjoy watching my ventures, 2007 was a crazy year - a mission that went further than I could of dreamt…resulting in a ch4 talent nomination and winning second place in a global youtube competition for England. The sleepless nights were worth it and for the past six months I have been working on advancing my technical skills hoping to bring you a slicker finish… So 2008? I wonder what strange things will happen…
