So, umm, I graduated on Friday! That was exciting. Melanie, the girl in my course who was killed last year, graduated posthumously with distinction. Her mother accepted the degree, and it was just about the most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen. I wanted to thank her for coming, but I didn't know if that would help or hurt her. So I just looked ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention that I judged the YouthRock competition on Friday night! It was really fun, even if I was the only person on the judging panel with any industry experience (and a mere six months of it, at that!). Nearly all of the bands were really great. One was rubbish (and their MySpace advertises the fact that they are looking for a new ( Read more... )

Ooh, sweet. I went to the Glebe Record Fair yesterday and spent way too much money, but got some totally sweet items. I wish I had a camera so I could try to communicate the goodness to you, but I don't, and the pictures online don't really do them justice.

Incredible. Go and watch Samwell's What What (In The Butt) video clip.

(Wanring: there is a slightly homoerotic undertone.)

Listening to iTunes on random can have exciting consequences! Madonna's Express Yourself fading into Deadstar's Highway 31 sounds surprisingly incredible!

Anyway, I've been invited to a judge a music competion! Double-yoo-tee-eff, I know. But it's really exciting! And some bands have sent me their demos, under the mistaken impression that I'm ( Read more... )

whatI tried to take photos of the MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE HOODIE I bought today, but they all looked dumb. Needless to say, it's the greatest twenty-nine dollars I've ever spent, and I have never been happier about following a lame fashion trend.

Okay, so I used to post a million entries all the time, and now I barely have time to sit down and make one a month. Oh, how things change. I have been so busy that I haven't even had time to poo. When I'm not at Borders, I'm either working at Drum, writing at home for Drum, thinking about Drum, or sleeping. But it's still really exciting. I got a ( Read more... )

Guess what I got today? A promo copy of Tori Amos' American Doll Posse! But no, I can't share it with you. It is encrypted with my editor's details, and so sharing it about could potentially ruin her professional reputation. But I'll be sure to share my thoughts on it once I've managed to listen to it!

In other news, I'm applying for a few full-time ( Read more... )

I went to a show at The Factory Theatre on my own last night. Afterwards, walking along Enmore Road, I stopped to check the bus timetable. One wasn't due for another twenty minutes, and so I decided to keep walking. I turned around...and immediately walked into a pole with a loud clang ( Read more... )

Okay, I keep starting updates and abandoning them, but all you really need to know is...

MCR!! <33
