Hallo again, sorry there’s been such a gap between updates. Been a bit busy with stuff. I’ve been thinking, which is always a very dangerous thing, on the whole my thoughts are about normal things, music, girls, work etc. but I was thinking this time about why English people, particularly southerners, sorry, but we are a bit useless really, I mean, this is taking it out of me more than most. We seem to get flustered, apologise for everything and just can’t quite relax ever. I don’t know if I should lump that on all of us, but maybe it’s just me. Anyway, this has really been annoying me recently, but I’ve been trying to remedy it, emphasis on the trying! It’s not really happening, I think I’m far too self concious, over the last week  I went out a couple of times and was rather shy even with the influence of alcohol.

Right then, music … I’ve been listening to a lot of rather good stuff that I hadn’t listened to much but should have. For example, the wonderous talent that is Sufjan Stevens, his album Illinois is a work of genius. It is brilliant. It really just speaks for itself.

And he’s got a new album out The B.Q.E. People should, even though I’m giving you spotify links go out and buy music. If you can afford it that is, I can’t and so rely on lovely spotify and youtube and free downloads from artists off their websites and stuff.
Right next one, Louden Wainwright III, I heard a Frank Turner cover of one of his songs and it was really good, so then I went on spotify and listened to a load of his stuff. Its really good old folky bluesy music.

Then there is Andrew Bird, a great songsmith, his new album is superb. I particularly like Effigy, and Anonanimal and Oh No!. They are great songs and here he plays them and chats to the bloke at RockFeedback.

So there’s a few bands for you to be going on with, I am busy now, going to see Frightened Rabbit tonight, then my friend on Saturday and then on next tuesday I’m going to see Charlotte Hatherley, coh I’m rather excited about that, I can’t really afford to be going to these gigs though, but ah well, I am so yeay! And I’ve also got loads of work to do and I’m going to London in a few weeks. Right then, cheerio xx
