Busy, fun weekend. Friday, I wanted to buy some tickets for the Secret Machines/M83 show at the Electric Ballroom in Camden Town. While I was there, I browsed the hipster markets and window shopped all the leather clothing retailers. I didn't see much worth buying, save for a 2 pound meal at a noodle hut.

Then I went to Hyde Park this afternoon. I didn't realize how many swans are in the Round Pond there.

Finally finished off the day at the Notting Hill Arts Club. Wolfmother was playing, a free show at that. I was immediately impressed with the opening band, Viva Voce. They're an indie-rock duo from Oregon with some great songs. Wolfmother, of course, rocked. They rocked in the way that you wished for all those other boring bands rocked. Sort of a Sabbath/Zep feel. Talking with the bassist afterwards, I learned that they had just flown 20+ hours from Australia to London. He said that the show was a good way to release all the energy pent up from the epic flight. So with that experience in mind, I'll definately be spending a couple more Saturday afternoons over at the club.
