shit, sorry i never replied! I haven't been one here for ages. How are you? Got any good gigs lined up?

Sorry chuck, I haven't been on here for ages. No need to be jel about Washed Out, I missed it myself! I'm excited for Metronomy next week, I actually got tickets this time around :)

Did you have a good time at Leeds then?

ahh yeah same! So excited for Madness too. We're having dress up &skank sunday haha. Have a good weekend!

Hello, I am rubbish at using this at the moment anyway. I am indeed off to Parklife, both days, how about you? I see you're going to Caribou on Saturday too, snap! Realy looking forward to that as they were wicked at WHP last year.

Hello :) Yesss, I'm excited! I keep forgetting I'm even going haha :) x

Oh sweet! Thanks for letting me know. You're a wonderful person.

Sup gringo, my Blackberry's on the fritz so still need to get it sorted. How's trick?

Hey, I didn't go in the end, which is a shame because I've been wanting to see them for too long now. Funds are minimal this month, so I'm going to Allo Darlin' instead, which should be sweet as rubicon <3 Who are you rating at the moment?

Aye mate, that's why I'm on it. Guy from work kept going on about it and it's pretty awesome

aight hombre, I've finally discovered the awesomeness that is last.fm

I'm not sure that I have. Can you send me the link? My friend’s band might be doing a mini tour of the North in the New Year. They are called Fighting Kites and they are ace. You should go. I'll let you know if and when it’s all finalised.

Yeah! Sonic Youth is going to be fantastic, but I have bought about 3 people tickets as xmas presents and it's getting expensive.

Do you know anyone with 2 spare best coast tickets by any chance?

Ahh jealous! Yeah the Constellations line-up is ace. I'm not seeing any of the bands you are, though. They all clash with someone else I want to see! :p

Yeah I MIGHT be going. Not sure, though, cos I'll be seeing them at Constellations on Saturday anyway :) Jealous of Casiotone!

Just listening to some Gary Numan, "Here in my car, da da da da doo da"

The word spoof was intended to be in that last post.

Aaaye, there's loads of good uns, although I'm proper skint. My top is the Kid Acne South Yorks of the Goo cover/tee, but I do love them am indeed off to see them :D Cannot wait! Are you?

Why thank you. :D We have a full bar. Cool.

No plans yet, it’s a bit complicated. Hope you have an amazing time!

Wow crazy that’s my Birthday weekend too and one plan was to attend that very ATP! The plan is no longer happening but still…(it’s the big scary 30 gulp, cry, sulk etc..) Love belle and Sebastian. Saw them live at Glastonbury oh so many years ago!

Immense, wow I’ll take that as a compliment. Been to ATP a few times but don’t ask me which ones I have a terrible memory for things like that. More of a fan of the outdoor festival experience (nothing nicer than drinking cider in the sun!). Have you ever been to The Green Man festival? My personal favourite.

Hola!

Hiya, stranger.

busted haha

gotta have love for the puressence. Che is such a clinker tune

Absolutely gutted, but missed The Besnard Lakes :( probs biggest miss of the year, apart from Glastonbury. Absolute fail.

Hey. Big Chill was quality, thanks. Not been on here much myself recently. What's keeping you busy over these lovely summer months we're experiencing? Off to Croatia next week for Electric Elephant. I CANNOT wait.

Music you have in common includes Darwin Deez, The Tallest Man on Earth, Why?, Caribou and Mew. I think you should consider coming to the gig I'm putting on in September. http://www.last.fm/event/1606662+Carefully+Planned+presents... xx

Yeah Ahh nice what're you thinking of the line up this year? I've heard lot's of differant views, would've loved to have gone this year

Hello Did you enjoy Dot to Dot then? I thought Wild Beasts were amazing My summer is ok thanks, shame the weather is pretty awful most of the time but oh well yours?

I shall probably join you in the un subtle dancin.

Well I'd quite like to see Chapel Club, Blood Red Shoes, White Hinterland, Wild Beasts and Mystery Jets but I'm a bit spoilt for choice really at this festival.

Yeah, well hope you enjoy yourself

Yeah it's a pretty good line up eh. The catch is probably just that all the ones everyone want to see clash. Which bands are you looking forward to seeing?

Evening. Dead on my feet as been out cycling....it really takes over once you have to train for something! How you getting on? Parklife tckts booked, I've no doubt in my mind that my best intentions will go out the window and I'll spend the week recovering then only manage 10 miles of the bike ride the weekend after but hey, it's not every weekend Manchester puts a decent event on! I have been in Electrik in Chorlton, it's ok, looking forward to Croatia though....I so need a holival!

not just a name, but a whole new alter ego- but same old play list...

hi :)

ha yeh going Leeds, are you? Can't wait for Japandroids as well :):) and blink-182.....ha xx

Not sure yet, would like to see The Rural Alberta Advantage but not sure what's going on that weekend yet...

Really? December's MONTHS away! Hoping to go away skiing in December so not sure if I'll be able to make it yet. You get a Parklife ticket?

Indeed Dave Haslam of Hacienda fame. He's an author too, if you haven't read any of his books I can highly recommend them. Manchester, England is a great read. Good luck with the Mcr-Blackpool. I've not even started training for mine. Only bought my bike a month ago and it's already turned into a clothes horse! I'm just planning my holiday come festival trip. Have you heard of Electric Elephant, in Croatia, run by the Electric Chair lot? It's my front runner so far, even though no line up as yet. Hope you're enjoying your new job. Oh and yes, heard of Slow Club, downloaded a track a while back but haven't heard their album, I shall check it out.

Oh man, how did I miss that! I remember looking the day tickets went on sale and they didn't have a Manchester date. Oh well, I'm in the Lakes next week anyway. Like you say should be able to catch them again. I'm a big fan of Now Wave too! Have a good one at The Drums gig... if you're going ;)

Should have crucified me and my bad spelling. You going to Leeds too? I wanna go to a warehouse party, doesn't happen to be anywhere near Shell Island does it? Oh dear, the late photos are the worst, a month goes by and you think you're safe, then BAM, social standing is in ruins.

Ester? Fuck off Helen. I guess if there is enough drinking we'll forget about the fact that it's no fun. A house party? Not bad plans actually.

Hell yeah, start of ester holidays innit. We decided to go camping, like spring break minus everything that makes spring break an enjoyable get away. I trust you have something wonderful planned?

Wowsers almost full bar! That is a rarity. Yeah I love all that indie-disco pap. I also got my ticket for Parklife the other day, the Now Wave stage looks mega! The rest too… I may have to find my drum and bass feet again :) Is The Drums gig happening? I can’t see anything about it on their website.
