11 days since my last update, that may be the longest ever.

Right last week was largely spent waiting for the weekend. I hate waiting for good stuff and I just couldn't focus at work. I don't think they noticed though so I should be ok.

Fortunately the weekend arrived on Thursday evening when I went to see the Decemberists in LOndon. They were absolutely...

5 pints and a bottke of wine is not the best way to prepare for a day at work.

It is the best way to get over a really shit day though so I guess I cant have it both ways.



22 grand job in the city, it sounds niice

I have just spent Saturday night on my own with half a bottle of wine, a Low DVD, A Kill Rock Stars DVD and a very scared cat who spent most of the night hiding under my bed (he doesn't like Guy fawkes night apparently). Its so rad being as popular as me

I seriously think I am actually friends with a grand total of...

I saw the New Pornographers last night! They were amazing! And Twin Cinema is a brilliant records. I think they might be my new favourite band.

Actually, thats bollocks. Sleater-Kinney are my favourite band but they have been for so long now it gets boring saying it

I have an application form for a job that looks fascinating. Its also huge so its putting me...

Drunk so important stuff I have to say will not get said. It won't get said tomorrow either as I am going to watch the New Pornographers. Because I am indier then thou. Ha!

Not so serious but still importnat stuff can be said though.

Gig-tastic recently. After Electrelane I saw The Phil Collins Three on tuedsay and last night I saw Brakes. I'm meant to be saving but I find it impossible to not buy tickest if a band I want to see comes to town. I suck at saving.

Sleater-Kinney have cancelled their NOvember European tour. Bollocks. Carries Ill. Apparently they will come back in May. MAY! I can't wait that long.

To make up for this I bought stuff.

Pet Sounds on lovely 180g vinyl because for some reason I din't own a copy of it.

Deerhoof - The Runners Four. Its awesome.

Electrelane tonight

Musical Musings.

I am in love with the music of Laura Veirs, have been for a couple of years now. I think her current record, Year Of Meteors is great and that the previous one, Carbon Glacier is a minor masterpiece.

However last year I went to see her at the Komedia in Brighton which is a lovely venue for watching folk music and somewhere...

Watched the Super League Grand Final in Manchester last night!

Wow !!! Those guys are fit.

I can't believe that rugby league is such a small sport over the world, for sheer physicality it must be unmatched anywhere in the world. Its so fast as well, they are all 6' plus blokes weighing 14+ stone and they ar elike lightening. Its awesome.

I wish it...

Another Better Friend

Theres no reason to be bored when,
a face like yours is adored by all men.
Your making up for lost time,
and your best ideas were mine.
At the age of twenty-seven,
you realised your bed was empty.
A child is what I need but your face...
