I recently picked up a PEN-EE 1/2 frame camera on Ebay and have enjoyed getting back into film. Because it gets 72 shots to a roll of 36, it almost feels like you can casually take photos like a digital camera but it’s film, so it looks amazing and random stuff happens. I LOVE THAT.

At a gig last year Foals were forced to abandon their last song halfway through because the stage was stormed by too many crazed fans. The reason behind the hype they’re creating, both on stage and in the normally merciless media, isn’t immediately clear upon first listen: the sound is less than friendly on the ears, and they don’t employ the same catchy hooks and melodic chorus patterns that shoot your average band to fame in their early years.
