Two of my favourite bands - Frightened Rabbit and The National - released albums in 2010 which are really great. Surprisingly, neither will be my favourite album of the year - that (honour?) goes to Total Life Forever by Foals. It. Is. Outstanding. To get the opportunity to see Foals once was great but twice in one week? Awesome. They're crazy good live. They sound fantastic and their lead singer, Yannis, is, well ... mad. In San Jose, he jumped up on the bar at the back of the room a couple of times. I like him even more for having a go at one of the 'Security' at Venue who jumped up on stage trying to (maim? dismember?) a stage invader. For the encore, it seemed that half of the crowd joined the band on stage for a fitting end to a wild and very entertaining night.
