im good pal. moved 2 weeks ago. loving the city living and new flat. it's a right touch. how's things with you? we'll be arranging somesort of shingig in a month or so if you fancy a trip up north?cheers for the recs, i've just got the sunsett rubdown album on the basis of that dis review, not listened to it properly yet. good then is it?. the new doom album is pretty good.although hasnt blown me away. just got this the other day, worth checking out..http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13125-ambivalence-avenue/

sweet, see you there.. oooh recommendations.. new grizzly bear, just been listening to a lot of antifolk, kimya dawson & jeffrey lewis' new one..worried about satan are good and live across the road from us.. dubstepwise.. new martyn album is mint. that burial & four tet 12" is good.. new boxcutter is alreet.. havent heard handsome furs. i'll check it out. cheers yeah

hey tajajaja. it's been ages.. i'm pretty good cheers.. same old vibes. working hard, chilling even harder.. how are you? anything exciting been going on? yeah should be at matts, lil should be there as well, along with rosco and bonski..i take it your'e going? when you coming up to leeds then eh?

nice one pal, congrats. yeah he span out and puked - it was very amusing. actually started the job before we went to the dam, 3rd week, settling in nicely and enjoying it so far

also, musicwise, highly recommend the new zomby album, basically an homage to rave with bits of dubstep and various other forms of electonica thrown in the mix. the new starkey album is also good, more dubstep but an american take on it.

hey duderino. how's things? well, you missed a cracker in amsterdam!! it's as good as ever, the smoking ban is pretty much not enforced in coffee shops, as long as you are a bit sly when skinning up, once it's rolled, they can't open it, so as long as you tell them it's pure if anyone asks, not they did.. usual chilled vibes, no scandal other Scotty throwing a massiv whitey after two hours or arriving!! how did your exam go?

yeah massively relieved. the company is the Lowell Group. they purchase customer debt from banks and credit cards etc so as you could imagine things are going well, there's a buzz about the place, i'm pretty chuffed, things have worked out well.

should have said yesterday.. i'm doing well cheers. feeling a lot better about life in general and i've got a job.. business analyst, started on monday, obv i've not told 'em i'm off to the dam.. stag do in barcelona, can't be missed!

ha ha, it's a massive shame for sure. but got to be done, good luck in the exam. we'll spark up a fattyboombatty for ya!

jees, listen to mclusky much..? i hear you're not coming to the dam? wanker!

no real reason just fancied starting a fresh

ha ha, congrats pal, i'm sure you did well, a natural! yeah i bet you're quite smug at the moment. i do think you've been particularly lucky but against chelsea you got what you deserved and were impressive, especially without ' Nando... still think Utd will win it mind you but it should be a lot closer. take it easy dude.

talking to yourself pal? obviously missing the herb.... you've inspired me to stop as well actually, like i said i'll stop properly after the dam but i've cut down massively, just smoking a 1 skiner now, my only one of the day.. it's tough living with Jimbo but he doesnt get home till late so its not a massive issue. i want it to be a more occasional thing as well, hopefully it'll become fun again rather than just needing it, if you get what i mean. can't believe you were on live tv, awesome, what were you chatting about? I'll see Yelland tomorrow, he'll be round to annoy me during the spurs game, i'll ask him then.

yeh, have been smoking more rollys and drinking a bit more. but not as much as i thought i would. i thought i would struggle to chill after a hard day's work, but that hasnt been the case at all. i actually had a little bit on friday night, but it didnt make me want to get back on it the next day. just gonna make it an occasional thing now... went on al jazeera tonight to talk live on the news. i was fcking shitting myself, but it went ok. think yelland watched it so he will fill you in!

wow i'm impressed pal. about time one of us gave up.. i've been thinking about it for a while, amsterdam will be my last hurrah.. have you started smoking and drinking more as a result? those impressions were brilliant,.

hey pal... things are ok.. still without a job and at the moment completely lacking in any motivation to get one..stuck in a bit of a rut to be honest.. other than that i'm alright.. what about you, anything exciting going on?

nice one mate, well hopefully scott will know for sure tomorrow so we'll book the flights then.. jobwise i've been working for the month at education leeds doing similar IT stuff, it was a 3 month contract but ive just jacked it in - it was doing my nut. so, back to the drawing board i suppose..

yeah what a fucking shocker..i'd only just stopped laughing at james after your draw against stoke and then we go and do that, awful, awful stuff.. at the mo it's me, paulo, lj and scott plus hopefully Yelland, although i haven't asked him yet. and a couple of others, we're just waiting on scott to get his time off confirmed, i'll be in touch midweek to sort it out..

hey duderino, how's things in london town? fancy a trip to the dam in nov..? friday to monday, 21st..

have you got your field day ticket yet?

speaking of this techydub stuff the new dubstep allstars mixed by appleblim is worth checking out.

we can have a little swap shop next weekend pal!

i've heard a few 2562 tunes, i like it a lot, haven't got the album yet as i'm skint.. i love this techy dubstep though, the skull disco guys, shackleton and appleblim and also peverelist who i think is on tectonic same as 2562.

nah its cool pal, i'll pick em up at the end of the month. see you in a week, should be a cracker!

have you heard the bon iver album? think you'll like it

yup, looks mint. have you got a ticket yet?. bit worried it might sell out, i'll have to wait till the end of the month before i get mine.

oh yeah, i'm definitely coming down for field day, not sure about lovebox.

i think it's the last sunday of june , 29th. i read somewhere that modeselektor are supporting, really hope that's true.

so pal, are you going to lovebox again this year? what about field day? the line up is awesome!

Hello Englisf friend, what, what, what!

You have a nice day?

I'll check DT Broughton out next he's in Leeds, sounds very good. Yeah i'm loving loving that Prinzhorn stuff. at first i though they were shit but their songs sort of grab you and won't let go. Have a wicked Chrimbo pal, see you soon.

one of the dudes from ac was ill so panda bear played some solo stuff (great) and the remaining members of ac played a few tunes (ok but they missed the other guy). Beirut were excellent can't get over how good Burial is - i'm hooked, it's like crack, very morish..

you've got to get the new burial album if you haven't already. It's incredible

wotcha pal. which destroyer albums do you recommend?
