NME Radar Tour - Coventry, Warwick Uni.
The venue was The Copper Rooms a student Union Bar at Warwick University. It's a small dark venue will a low ceiling and you got the impression when crowded it would be very hot in there. We arrived a little after 9pm and saw the end of the Local Natives set, unfortunately Marina & The Diamonds didn't show up but the Golden Silver's set adequately made up for that small disappointment featuring True Romance, Please Venus and Arrows of Eros. It wasn't particularly crowded when the bands were playing and we easily got a good view near the stage, but, as we left we noticed a long queue of students all clambering to get in. It looked like a monstrous student party was about to kick off. So we left the rampant freshers and we headed home for some *Horlicks!

Scientists identify genetic link that may neutralize HIV
Scientists identify genetic link that may neutralize HIV from PhysOrg.com

This new information will likely spur a new approach for making an HIV vaccine that elicits neutralizing antibodies. Neutralizing antibodies, once produced in the host, can attack and checkmate an infecting virus. The research was reported in the September 5 issue of Science.

Interesting listening week
I've come across a few new CDs this week.
Okkervil River - The Stand In's the bands latest album which I'm just beginning to get into and also Of Montreals - Satanic Twins which is remixes of their Satanic Panic in the Attic album, it includes a beautiful version of Disconnect the Dots (Mixel Pixel) and my personal favourite a techno dance floor filler remix Climb the Ladder (Rory Phillips Trash UK remix). Other recent acquisitions include The Young Knives - Superabundance, which I highly recommend and We Started Nothing by the Ting Ting's.
