Since it’s the end of another year and all, I’m interrupting the string of England blog posts for a list of songs I love that were released this year. If you’d like to hear each song, click the song titles and listen to them on YouTube.

I woke up the next morning wonder where the hell the showers were. Aurora and I went downstairs and asked the guy at the front desk. He went up the stairs with us back toward our room and pushed open the door right next to our room. DUH. Plus I remember thinking it looked like some sort of fire escape door for some reason. It was early.

Next on our agenda was Exeter and Teignmouth, two towns in Devon county (western England). We thought it would be neat to check out the places where Muse spent their younger years.

If I remember correctly, we had a late start. I don’t even remember if I had breakfast. I just remember taking pictures of the Herp Factory’s bunk, which we treated as a crime scene; no one wanted to be near it.
We walked over to The Rocket in Euston for another one of our Muser meetups there. Had a big burger, chips and Sprite. Our massive group took over the jukebox and played all kinds of music, from Muse—cue groans and sing-alongs during “Feeling Good”—to Britney Spears—cue cheers during “Baby One More Time.” SO funny. We had a sing-along at our table during “Knights of Cydonia” and cracked up as Chris nailed Bellamy’s falsetto. After staying there for a couple of hours, Liz, Lisa and I were getting antsy so we headed to the tube station and made our way to Wembley.
