the cribs – and so she thinks

1234 returns!

admin — Thu, 12 May 2016 10:02:37 +0000

The 1234 Festival returns to London with a band and DJ heavy line up that embraces all things new, old, emerging and established, local and international, and quite basically great about music.

Back in 2007 promoter Sean McClusky started the festival with the aim of bringing new and emerging artists to play on the same stages as the musicians who inspired them, connecting the past and present in one festival. This year the one day festival is collaborating with Rob Hallet and Robomagic to do exactly the same, but on a larger scale at their new park site at Three Mills Island, Bow.

Scooping the only headline festival performance from The Jesus & Mary Chain, along with the iconic sound of indie greats The Cribs, rising stars The Wytches and TOY, alongside newer acts Milk Teeth, Nova Twins, Telegram and Blinders, amongst many others, it’s set to be an ideal end to the summer festival calendar.

Limited early bird tickets just £24.95, on sale 9am Friday 13 May through Ticketweb

Love lyrics

Valentine’s Day, and a chance to celebrate the things we love – like music. These are some of the most beautiful love related lyrics in my favourite songs.
The Maccabbees – Toothpaste Kisses
I’ll win your heart with a woop-a-woo / Pulling shapes just for your eyes / So with toothpaste kisses and lines /I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine

Natalie Prass – Christy
Does he?/ Slide each of his fingers down your back when he / When he puts a new record on

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Home
Well, while you were sitting in the back seat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you ’til just now!

Blur – To The End
Well you and I / Collapsed in love / And it looks like we might have made it / Yes, it looks like we’ve made it to the end

Flaming Lips – Do You Realize?
Do You Realize – that you have the most beautiful face/ Do You Realize – we’re floating in space / Do You Realize – that happiness makes you cry

Sharon Van Etten – For You
I do, I do / I’d wait for you / But you knew

The Shins – Simple Song
I swear that I dreamt / Your face on a football field / And a kiss that I kept / Under my vest

David Bowie – Heroes
We could steal time, just for one day / We can be Heroes, for ever and ever

Beach House – Real Love
You know, you know, we belong by the stream, to the dawn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6r0hPVauJQ
Foals – This Orient
To glide past every city light / Like a satellite careering through the sky / This colour, this summer night

The Cribs – Be Safe
I’m tethered to this post you’ve sunk in me / And every clear afternoon now I’ll think of you, up in the air / Twisting your heel, your knees up around me, my face in your hair / You scream so well, your smile so loud, it still rings in my ears
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCydrACBsK8
Group Love – Tongue Tied
My eyes on your eyes / Like Peter Pan up in the sky

Camera Obscura – Let’s Get Out Of This Country
We’ll pick berries and recline / Let’s hit the road dear friend of mine/ Wave goodbye to our thankless jobs / We’ll drive for miles maybe never turn off /We’ll find a cathedral city you can be handsome I’ll be pretty

The Charlatans – One To Another
I’ll be at ease watching you sleep watching’ you smile / Love I adore you / Always looking for you

The Cribs @ 100 Club

With Drenge, April 17th 2013, as part of Converse – Get Dirty
The Cribs are a pretty suitable band to be headlining a show as part of a series of gigs that fall under the title ‘Get Dirty.’ Raucous, rampant, energetic and entertaining, their shows are always a celebration of rock in its most pure form – a sweaty explosion of endorphins and angst. Kicking off with MTV, the hour long set dived headfirst into live favourites Hey Scenesters, I’m A Realist, and Men’s Needs, as well as less often played tracks Jaded Youth and Tri’elle. As always Ryan Jarman was on top form, his banter goading people to crowd surf and stag dive, until the number of people on stage was at least quadruple that which it should be. ‘Messy like the old days’ in Ryan words, the gig proved that The Cribs have still got it, pummelling their way through their intelligent and intense rock with infectious exhilaration. After eleven years of consistently brilliant and biting guitar music, they show no signs of diminishing that northern grit that serves them so well.

They didn’t play Be Safe though…what was that about?
A few lucky members of the crowd were given disposable cameras by Converse, in order to capture the carnage. Here is some of the evidence…
