    I managed to keep their attention and that was important at 10am :D I'm just going to get my presentation feedback by email so I don't have to go and see him about it. That way nobody will suspect anything :p One of my friends reckons he's about 49 years old, so there's no way in hell I'd be doing anything I shouldn't :o *dusts off her suitcase*

    Hey. How is everyone today?

    CNBC, well done on the presentation. It sounded like you were comfortable and in control which is great. Presentations used to put the fear into me which is weird as I've performed in front of crowds of over 1,000 with few nerves. Just don't ask me to speak lol.

    The Civil Wars were spectacular last night. The dynamic they have is just magic and they're so captivating. The support act, The Lumineers, were great too. They really got the crowd going. Listening to Barton Hollow at the moment.

    I've been getting messages from friends and family in NY and it all seems so eerie. One of my friends said Lower Manhattan was like a scene from I Am Legend with all the lights out.

    Thanks LM. It was exactly the kind of evening I needed. BTW, how did your new music mission go last week? Anything grab you?

    Lol, snap Mimi. I really love that album. Have you downloaded the free live album from their website?

    I wasn't aware that there was one. I'll look for it now! :)

    Lovely interview with the duo

    Yes. I bought a few albums thanks. I am really loving Nicola Robert's album. An underrated Gem. Shame it flopped. Also loving Kylie's Abbey road sessions album

    I am still on the lookout for more albums. Downloaded a few of Barbra Streisand's and Matt Cardle's although Matt Cardle's was a let down.

    I've just downloaded the live album but I can't get it to open in iTunes. :( I tried clicking & dragging the songs but nothing is happening.

    Enjoy, Mimi. If I'm not mistaken it was one of their first shows. It was in a really great venue called Eddie's Attic in Georgia which has seen a lot of artists play when they were up and coming.

    LM, I keep meaning to check that Nicola Roberts album out as I've only heard good things about it. I never got into Cardle although he does have a good voice. Did you listen to Vampire Weekend? I love their albums especially the first one. The music is very quirky, indie pop with a bit of Paul Simon influence thrown in.

    Oh... I had no problem. Is the folder compressed or anything? Like a zip or .exe file?

    I was nervous at first but once I was up there it was no problem at all. I got my Macbook Air set up a few minutes beforehand and made sure everything was ready.

    According to my lecturer I was :D I think so. He's 49 and a Steve Jobs lookalike. He's skinny, has a similar beard and glasses and wears black nearly all the time. Think I should have the suitcase ready...

    I have heard a few of their tracks but they are not my sort of thing although anything surprises me:)

    What's everyone up to at the moment? Anything interesting?

    EDIT: Just got an email from my IT Law lecturer. He gives all the students a grade for their presentation(s). Mine was 79% :D He also said I could go to his office if I wanted feedback. I don't think that's a good idea :p People will talk...

    Hey Wald glad you had a great time i like the overall sound and partnership of the civil wars but i don't think i could sit through a whole album although the two of them together make beautiful music :) And i hope your family in the states aren't getting on to badly haven't checked the news of late so have no clue as to what is going on :(

    And haha CNBC are you sure they are not already talking :p

    Well you don't know do you :p Here's the email he sent me with my grade:
    Your provisional grade for the presentation earlier is 79%. Well done. If you want feedback, please call during my office hours (but note that those will be 2 to 2.30 next week).
    Unbelievable, huh? :D I don't think I'm going to his office though. I'll see if I can get said feedback by email. It would be safer!

    Now I know! Yeah any conversation has been about IT Law apart from a few minutes showing him my graduation photos last Friday :D I have the offer to go to his office for presentation feedback though. Is it worth taking that up? I'm just thinking of that song Wrong Impression by Natalie Imbruglia :cool:
