wow, just got back from sunny (and slightly nippy) dundee - radio 1's big weekend which was amazing!

yes i know they pay my wages but this was a seriously good festival -free for starters for tens of thousands of scots and a smattering of us softy english people...

me and my blue room pal chris coco went on the rampage, sinking cider, chatting to the lovely people of dundee and seeing some ace band

Primal Scream - incredible greatest hits mini set starting with movin on up and wrapping up with Rocks...and 2 or 3 new tracks unveiled to an ecstatic audience - in the absence of joe strummer or johnny cash, bobby gillespie has to win most darn cool frontman...even if he dances like his legs are made from bubble gum

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - coco and i had the pleasure of warming up the tent for the yeahs - not sure how well we did that (although the hardcore version of the Proclaimers - 500 miles) did get em going in the end... but once Karen O and the boys had taken to the stage it was lift off time - amazing rapt performance

The View - local boys from just over the other side of the park where the site was..new signings to up and coming label 1965 and deffo ones to watch ... like the arctic monkeys from scotland..with even more raw energy and unfathomable lyrics about what them and their wee pals get up to

anyway back down to earth with a bang and a mild hangover..

on the shows this week Ive got the amazing blind malian musicians amadou and mariam on one music on thursday and sebastien tellier in session on the blue room on saturday so please try and tune in..or listen again my friends..

have fun whatever youre doin my friends!

;)
