My existence continued this weekend with all the enthusiasm of a paralysed man. This weekend, a weekend of such little merit, that I was kinda looking forward to coming to work today, just so I had something to do. That's how bored I am of life, and how to live it in general. Work is horrible, underpaid and lacking in basic things such as air ( Read more... )

What a long, tiring, brilliant weekend I just had there.

Thursday was really hot and uncomfortable; so much so I decided to crack out the Converse to chill my feet down a bit, before heading down to Rebellious Jukebox, aka April's Disco. The music was great, the cheap cocktails were great... it was great. Great to see all the old crew down... me, ( Read more... )

LIVE! TONITE! (NOT) SOLD OUT!

Amida + Camera Obscura
Dry Bar
Manchester
£8 (£5 with one of our flyers)

We're on really early, at 8pm ish, so people would obviously need to get down there pretty early.

April's night last night was fun fun fun. Well done April!

Unintentional bad joke #94
11am, the toilet at work. Visit to cubicle interrupted by realisation that there is no toilet paper. Annoying because the cleaner, a nice guy called Robbie, who is quite camp, has usually done this by now. Switch to neighbouring toilet. THE FOLLOWING SCENES ARE CENSORED. Hear a colleague curse a bit, figure it's because of ( Read more... )

Recently, it has been made clear to us by Camera Obscura and their management don't particularly want us to play with them. This has gone so far as to say that we can't use any of their stuff, and have to play acoustic when the gig comes around. I have no idea why they think they can get away with this... I mean, who are they, U2?

So anyway, we're ( Read more... )

Does anybody want to come see ¡Forward, Russia! on Monday 10 July at the Academy?

In case any of you are grotesquely ignorant, that particular day also happens to be my 20th birthday.

I do like their album a great deal. I thought I'd gone off them since their magical performance at Truck last year, as the studio tracks I'd heard never reached the ear ( Read more... )

Today, I feel voxish.

A latter half of week and weekend of drink, smoke and weird phone calls has taken it out of me. Today has been mega-busy at work... someone fucked up royally and I had to do a bit of investigative work to get to the bottom of it, and on top of this, the phone hasn't stopped ringing since I got in. I have managed to squeeze in ( Read more... )

Me + Emily + London x National 'Fucking' Express = nightmare.

A few non-band related things...

Comedic situation #94
Today, the Information Commissioner's Office is being visited by a government select committee, so we were told to arrive today in office/interview attire to impress them (they're shallow like that). Anyway, I forgot, because I had a busy weekend, so today my arrival, dressed in my usual Monday ( Read more... )

Looks like The Fall's US tour is going well...

"In the middle of What About Us the lead singer of The Talk threw a banana peel at Mark, hitting him on the side of the face. Mark finished the line he was singing, took off and folded his jacket, and chased the culprit into the parking lot. The set continued but Mark cut it short after a few more songs ( Read more... )
