Our house was at the bottom of Wellesley, and across the road was the Chinese takeaway, next door was The New Inn and across the road was The Talbot... so that was Friday night sorted. Just past the New Inn there's a little, sloping park which goes down to the river and I remember taking a go kart down there once and nearly ending up in the river. Then there's Keynsham park - we used to hang out there under the bypass and shout. </p> Music Magazine Features Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:57:17 +0000 http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/music-magazine/live-music/live-review-muse-the-o2-friday-13th-november-1823512.html http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/music-magazine/live-music/live-review-muse-the-o2-friday-13th-november-1823512.html ]]> <p> Muse might have just released the worst album of their career, but even a bad album by Muse standard is still something unearthly awesome to behold.
