MP3: The Kooks – Ooh La
Hey – in your blog: Klaxons, Kaisers, Kasabian & Kooks Join Oxjam Fest: You say the festival goes for 500 days – but its through october. 500 days is like 1 2/3 years. So wondering if thats right?
hmm, that’s what it says on the official site too! odd.
the press release on the oxfam site says ‘the equivalent of 500 days of live music’, so it must be a bit of a misquote from nme…
