Hi - we're Super and Sooper excited about Soundgarden! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Ah, can't believe you are going to EOTR this year and it's first year in 6 that I won't be going. Don't miss Doug Paisley, I've seen him twice now and he's been ace both times.

Aw, shame but glad to hear you're planning a seaside trip soon! Your busy April wouldn't happen to include a trip to Glasgow would it? *crosses fingers*

Hey lady, would you fancy seeing Daniel johnston by the seaside on 16th April? Hx

It really wasn't there when I looked yesterday, most odd! Not sure yet how likely it is to go internally but someone who used to work at B reckons there would be a chance of it going wider. fingers firmly crossed!

ooh, where is it - have just looked on the site and can't see it. Can ask a colleague who works at both places what the chances are of them actually getting someone internally... xx

A slightly late happy new year to you too! V. envious of your long hols, went back last Tues and very nearly had to tell them I would have to go home at lunchtime cos it was all too much of a shock to the system. What was your best festive prezzie? xxx

Struggling through! Gearing up for Paris. What's up wid you!?

No internet at home yet so can't watch Jools I'm afraid. Keane is a what happens when shuffle is used when unpacking and the guilty pleasures come back to haunt your hipster credentials. bugger.

I'm back in London, shout if your in town sometime and fancy a catch up! Hx

justin trousersnake huh?

am I doing ok now? truth is this is not a very interesting place. the stuff we went to was good though.

Incredibly sad! Didn't know he was an addict - he's been prolific enough - although his frequent appearances often alone in London made me curious. Some of my fave songwriters are addicts it seems - Cass McCombs, Elliott Smith et al. Robert and Son House - totally different sound - I think Son House taught Robert Johnson no? Grouper I'm still hypemachinging so will listen to more - my ears are notorious to recommendations.

yeh but i think im obsessed with the new single - it's real. new album and gig with twin sister in london coming up. have booked tickets. kudos on son house btw oh and songs ohia - saw jason molina a few years ago stlil catching up with all of his outputs with magnolia electric and songs ohia

I beat you by exactly one year and 1 day to this here thing. Super music compatibility yay!

Did u leave FB? If so I tip my hat in admiration, I am attempting to cut down and sneak out slowly whilst smiling and waving. Stay in touch Hxx

Hello there - that album has truly been keeping me going lately, it has not yet failed to make me grin. You can get it on Bandcamp http://jeffreylewis.bandcamp.com/album/come-on-board-10 - just look at that cover and try to resist! How're things? Was just talking about you today as a colleague is running a stall at a comic/zine fair thingy in London soon, did you get your stuff finished? Would love to see it! xx

Parts & Labor are coming back to London, at CAMP Basement on 18th May - more info here http://www.last.fm/event/1790559+Parts+-+Labor+at+The+City+Arts+-+Music+Project+on+18+May+2011

haha yeah. thats last.fm radio for you = play one bloody track and they bombard you with recommendations. trust me, hall and oats is still on heavy rotation

Hey. I know, check me out. It feels so good to be going to gigs again!

i am supposed to be writing a job application. I have watched five episodes of deal or no deal instead. It's just like the glory days of writing essays. What have you been up to? xxx

Just for interest... down the road from me and a quick hop to the station! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/new-homes/property-16439985.html

I'm very glad to hear that the frock was a triumph & would love to see a pic - maybe put it up as your profile here for a limited time and alert me to the fact by playing a dress-related tune. V excited by potential seaside manoeuvres... sounds like a perfect plan to me! xx

ooh, sounds good (both dress and macaroons - I wish I hadn't dithered over getting some to take as a gift). Visit was lovely thank you, Jen's little boy is at a cool age where there's lots of pointing and naming of objects and if you don't push him fast enough in his pushchair he yells 'go go go!' like some mini action hero x x

how's the frock? xx

what was the name of the photographer guy you like i always forget it. you know the one that does photos that look like filmsets and are really nicely lit and so on

Super! :)

You are awesome Zoe x

I still need to pick up a copy of the new Lotus. Right now I'm pissed off that I can't find a decent video of Bananarama's 'Cruel Summer' on Youtube. I put it on more or less every 'summer' compilation tape I ever made.

it's just so... odd x

Yep, twas Fire Like This (thanks to Resident's lovely 4.99 shelves) - haven' t had a proper listen yet... what do you make of the Charlie Brooker/Konnie Huq shenanigans? hx

And how in *hell's name* are we *high*?

Yes the Mssr and I are still on speaking terms. I rarely refer to him as Gilles as I once had an Irish nutjob of a girlfriend named Gill. So can I be a librarian now? I'm thinking about going back to Seattle in September...

hey lady, good weekend? Before I sleep was beautiful (although I nearly sat on an actor in a darkened room 2 minutes after entering which unsettled me somewhat) - it's been extended again I think so you might yet make it! Bought the Blood Red Shoes album today subconsciously based i think on your many plays...will be the soundtrack to my journey to work tomorrow xxx

oh boo, shame you can't make it... i always get slightly apprehensive about interactive/installation style performances after getting stuck in a 'maze' in the back of a van - the man outside had to bellow directions to us xx

hey lady, how's your diary shaping up? cathy also fancies before i sleep and can do sat 5th june or a week night the following week - any good dates for you in there? hxx

my new desk looks out onto the beer garden of the bar next door...can't decide whether this makes a sunny friday afternoon at work easier to cope with or just a bit pouty... The before I sleep co-op thing has been extended into June if you fancy it- on all days except mon/tues...xx

I listened to Ten back then. It was overshadowed by Lard's 'Last Temptation of Reid', I think. Is that obnoxious or what?

Someone's hittin the old Seattle sound...

...aren't you glad I'm back to bug you? No need to answer that.

GNG BNG isn't doing it for me and I'm very surprised that it does it for you. Huh. Man, you are so hard to predict. I've been browsing through your library and it just confuses me. You listen to Tapes n' Tapes' first album a lot, but not their second one -- not even once (even though it contains a great song: "The Dirty Dirty") and you listen to M. Ward and whatsherface, but not M. Ward on his own -- someone I thought you'd love. I'm not even going to mention that Kelly Clarkson song you keep listening to. Okay, I will mention it. I had a listen on iTunes and to be honest, I don't absolutely hate it -- though it only goes on for 30 seconds there. :)

I had to ...erm ... borrow GNG BNG. Found the album, 1983, on emusic and some other tracks on compilations there, but as usual emusic has a big gap . Listening now. This sounds more like the sort of thing I would like, than you would.

Wait a second, young lady. You were in diapers when I started listening to Felt (which is on our shared music list). And if you so much as think of replying with some joke about my advanced age and wearing diapers, I'll come over there and spank you. :)

What?! It says you and I are "very high"! If anyone's very high, it's a programmer at last.fm. Or have you been listening to a lot of Cursor Miner while I was gone? :)

Hmmm yeah, I used to blow all my wages before payday when I worked at The Left-Legged Pineapple. Where do you shop? I remember meeting you outside of Selectadisc before drinks last Spring. We should really do that again. Sweet new picture, Zoe!

No Zoe, but some Gonjasufi. Shit I want to be at the boadrum gig *gnash*

huzzah! how's about you send me a text when you've done your dress stuff....

still heading for the seaside on sat? xx

that looks fab, yes please! Will prob aim for 11ish but will let you know what time I actually make it onto a train x
