Day 19: Zero 7 and JG

Today I was supposed to be helping other final years organise the final Christian Union meeting of the year for Aston Students. It turns out they had enough helpers so instead I took the opportunity to see Zero 7 at Birmingham Academy with Brunt. Jose Gonzalez made an appearance with the band, and strummed along in his own low-key manner, finishing off with an excellent version of one of his album tracks, the name of which escapes me now. The name escapes me because, to be honest all his album tracks seem to merge into one. A big mellow soundscape, tracks indistinguishable from each other. Probably much spending a year in a Chinese prison, the days just combine and if the guards refuse you a clock or calendar, you get totally lost.

However, for a great Jose tune, this recent advert is one of the best (see below). I've watched the making-of, they really did send thousands of bouncy balls down a hill...such fun!
