I'm writing this before I go to work so I'll only do the quickest of quick reviews.

The Legacy: Been listening to them for awhile but never saw them until now, a few people have told me they're good on record but shit live. I found them extremely good, I think most people are slaging them off because they're moving in a more progressive direction....

So I had my cousin Jonathan's funeral on Monday (I actually got it wrong in my last blog, he was just a year younger than me), I won't bring anybody down by going into detail but it got me thinking if I died before my time would I get the funeral service I'd want, I've been kicking this idea around in my head for the...

I've been dwelling on how pointless my job actually is; I take digital photos of receipts because technology hasn't come so far that the humble scanner can't take anything smaller than an A4 sheet of paper, so you have to employ a staff of eight to do what is really should be one persons job. I'm supposed to average 275 images an hour, so far...

Two weeks on the new job of playing with a digital camera for a living and it's going quite well, only downside that it takes me nearly an hour and twenty minutes going to and from work, at least I'm working with people in my own fucking age group.

There was a lot of Jesus and hymns in the service that I wasn't too keen on ("blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted" does that even need to be said?) but I found some...

The bad news; my Nan died in hospital a couple of weeks ago. I visited her five days before, it was like she had a stroke, she could hardly speak or make eye contact, according to Mum she was speaking more than the other times she had been without me. On the day the hospital had called and told Mum that Nan was having difficulty...

Friday: So I'm working one day a week in the finance department at the municipal buildings in Gillingham scanning documents onto a computerthat's it, that's all my job entails. I have my own little office, which isn't as glamorous as it sounds because it has a broken radiator which can't be turned off and the room is packed with boxes of documents waiting to be...

Friday: Whenever I go record shopping in London I always just have a few things in mind that I want to get and always buy more. Went to HMV in Oxford street bought boxsets of Joy Division and Hank Williams, went down to Zavvi and bought some Dinosaur Jr. and Lou Reed then went to Ray's Jazz and got some John Coltrane and Flea Kuti,...
