I went to Saturday of the 3 day Wireless Music Festival in Hyde Park yesterday and had a blast. Artists I saw yesterday were Missy Elliott, New Young Pony Club, Snoop Dogg, and LCD Soundsystem. Missy Elliott was pretty good-she was earliest and wearing a sweatsuit in the hot sun and dancing pretty much as you'd expect. New Young Pony Club was really good. Their lead singer reminded me of Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and their keyboardist was very cool. Snoop Dogg was much better in London than he was in Chicago at Lollapalooza last year. He did a lot of his songs from the early 90s and put together a solid set. Interesting note: Snoop Dogg is only 38 years old (I guess drugs make you age more quickly cause he looks like he's at least 50). LCD Soundsystem was really disappointing and I was so upset! I'm not sure if its because they were last and the crowd was dead or if it was their performance... but they were almost boring. They didn't play "Someone Great" which is my favorite song by them.
I went to the concert with my friend Senam from Lamda. She is from Istanbul but has gone to college in London for the past year and is really awesome. We met up with one of her friends from Istanbul and his friends for the concert and it turned out all of his friends were American! I was hanging out with two Vanderbilt grads, a guy from New Jersey and a half French, half American girl for the concert. So even though some of the bands were not the best... it was a lot of fun!
