Yeah I haven't posted for ages. I'm sure you've been going mad, gnawing at your sideboards wondering whether I'm ever going to return. Well, you can stop writing the suicide note and put the pills and wine back in the cupboard. I have my last exam tomorrow and I will be back to my irregularly regular posting schedule.
So I'm going to Hurricane festival in June. I've gone off rock music quite a lot in the last year but you can't sniff at that line up for £100, and hopefully The Strokes won't be a shadow of their former selves after a 4 year hiatus and some mediocre solo stuff. And hopefully they won't just play new stuff. Hopefully they will just play from Is This It, and a couple of songs off of Room on Fire. First Impressions of Earth was so boring. It was even worse than being shit. I would have preferred it to be terrible than middling, overly ironic, unfunny and dull. LCD Soundsystem, Massive Attack, Mr Oizo, The XX, Vampire Weekend and Biffy Clyro are the other main attractions for me, although hopefully just the entire weekend will be a laugh... A possibility heightened by the revelation that pints there cost 1 euro each. Mmm.
Music wise I've been listening to a lot of Crystal Castles, and my resistance to them (fuelled by my inherent distrust for anything on the NME Cool List) has been ended by what is a fantastic second album. I haven't had time to play games, but hopefully I will be seeing wassup with the GTAIV expansions and Red Dead Redemption soon.
