About this blog

Tilly and the Bawl

I wanted to explain my previous blog entry and the foul mood that unfortunately that came off the back of. I think part of it stems from the my thoughts on death and having someone very close to me die, and recently due to things here in real life that death although happened a few years ago, has been in the forefront of mine and my families life over the past few weeks, this coincided I suppose with the aftermath of some Australians death and peoples attitudes to that. I linked that to how I wa

Clap your hands say yeah.

One of the highlights for me this year at Leeds outside of the company, however that is a big thing, they are tried and tested thankfully, Teago has been to 6 festivals with me, Essex, (I don't want to big him up as he is quite a modest man, but Paul Essex is a prince amongst gentlemen, excellent company any time of the day and if you have the opportunity to spend time with him, please do) and the rest we were with at Download and little legs, the shortened version of a wife is used to my tantru

More festyness.

A few nice suggestions for festivals in the summer have been posted in my thread over in other festivals. 2000 trees seems highly likely and possibly charlbury if it goes ahead, little ern fancies truck but thats a no no, then it becomes more about the music and less about the festival, well it would with truck anyway.

Hello, can I speak to an idiot please.

I may have been a little harsh on SMS, let me elaborate. I ordered my tickets last September, paid for them and then didn’t have to worry when they went on sale. I use the tracker on Seetickets website and this told me that they had been dispatched. My kid who is a miserable shit and likes to stop up late and get up late was coerced into getting up at 8 so as not to miss those f**king idiots that masquerade as a courier firm (you see a pattern here). She did this for two days and nothing. So

Thursday stuff.

I have been a little subdued post Leeds, plenty of work to come back to and joy of joys on Tuesday our whole local server was down where I store most of my files, I sat twiddling my thumbs all of Tuesday and was hammered with work on Wednesday. I am back on top of it now. I see from the blog of bus that he is a serial early samich eater. I always always eat my sandwiches at ten, this stems from the days when I was an insomniac and may have been up at 3am, so come ten I was a hankering for sa

Latitude Festival

That's Latitude festival done then, another one and the second of the year. Musically I watched Silversun Pickups, Albert Hammond Jr, Charlotte Hatherly, Elvis Perkins, The Magic Numbers, CSS, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Bat For Lashes, Camera Obscura, Arcade Fire, Jarvis Cocker, Angus and Julia Stone and of all of those I enjoyed Camera Obscura, Silversun Pickups, Elvis Perkins, Angus and Julia Stone, Albert Hammond and Jarvis the most. I was a little disappointed by Arcade Fire to be honest, a

Arse candle.

Some how those filthy bastards at Burger King managed to poison me and I have been to put it bluntly, shitting through the eye of a needle, in one respect this is bad, health and all that, the other respect I had a delivery of Leeds festival early entry tickets.

2006

Its been a good year, enjoyable, in parts at least, sad in other parts but all told, all good. Due to another bad festival in reflection, we decided no more for next year and similarly, becoming bored at gigs, we arent doing them for 2007, outside of Brand new at birmingham, oh and we have a few get out clauses, the breeders anywhere, the pixies in birmingham or london, the sugarcubes anywhere, or lisa says billy talent anywhere, but thats it, althought darren hayman or ant dont count. So where

ailments.

It comes to something when you are too busy to even update your blog. I will try to put together a large post of some description soon. A quick recap. Off to the hospital today about my sinuses, hopefully nothing serious will turn up. Last year my doctor told me to cut out drinking, I chose not to listen to him, the same trouble I had last year due to the drinking is back. Outside of that all is good in the hood.

sad day

Life online is an odd beast, I have had an internet connection since around 96, 28k modem and it moved like a wounded dog, over the years I have made acquaintances, some friends and some very good friends. I have met heroes due to the internet and discovered more music than I could imagine. I have friends in Salinas, London, Chicago, Leeds, Glasgow, New York and other far flung places, St Albans for example. You know these people but you don't really know them, the lady I know in Salina

1987 and all that.

Nostalgia, I am not keen on the whole, Nostalgia tends to be 15 year olds saying how great something was even though they cant actually remember it or its Peter Kay saying Texan bars, they were tough werent they. That said 1987, twenty years ago this year. Was 1987 the quintessential year for music, was it ever bettered? Thats not an open question by the way, I dont want people replying no 1998 was because a shitty stereophonics album was released. A post on another blog and thinking about it

Workhouse Festival

My first festival of the year then, Workhouse in Mid Wales, and we knew it was going to rain, we were prepared for that but I always say if I can get the tent up in the dry, the weather can do what it wants. We got the tent up in the dry and shortly after it started to rain and it didnt stop. We ventured down to the arena on Friday and were totally amazed by its size, very small, very compact but very well set out, lots of small stages, all undercover, which was needed as the rain really did no

And the festyness continues.

This morning we bought tickets for Workhouse festival, thats the third booked and it doesnt look like it is stopping there. As I said earlier, we were so put off festivals, after a fair few years doing them, and just over the past week, its the same excitement we used to have, I mean real excitement, workhouse and blissfields have really got us looking forward to something and there would be more, and I really think there will be more. Workhouse for a second, that festival looks on paper like i

Time off.

Every couple of years or so I feel the need to get off line for a while, normally centres around me feeling that I have been spending too much time on my PC or work creeps up and I need to concentrate that aspect of my life. Now it seems that that is the case at the moment, well a combination of the two. It’s a little more difficult now though, with one thing and another.

august bank holiday!!!

I see Sshh has been confirmed for August bank holiday weekend, well according to their website it has. This is marvellous news, and a perfect weekend to have it, we were resolute that we were not going to do the carling weekender this year and sh being the best festival we ever attended that has definitely put it firmly as a yes. We also want to to endorse-it as well this year and maybe something early on, unsure what off the tracks is like but that seems the right price at the right time of the

Indie Tracks Festival

Thats another festival out of the way, bit different this one, difficult to explain how it was different, but essentially camping was at a proper campsite around a half a mile away. The campsite itself was lovely, Golden Valley near Ripley, certainly would recommend it to people who like camping, very friendly and good facilities, set in beautiful surroundings. The actual festival site was reached via a long narrow country lane which led to the midlands railway centre, hold on I hear you exclaim

Still looking for that June Festival.

What a game trying to find a festival that fits the bill in mid June, we did have it down to two, Thimbleberry and The Big Session. Then we found reasons not to go, Thimbleberry, well it is mainly distance. We are in Stafford and its in Co Durham and a few little things in the review put us off. The Big Session, I really had my heart set on this, but for so many reasons we have decided against it, its in a city for a start, camping is away from the arena area, and parking is a relative distance

Chris Moyles.

I was bored on the bus this morning and came up with a geurilla activity. Hows about people calling up Chris Moyles for his phone ins and just saying the word c**t. Imagine the fines he will get, it would be great if a few people did it. I may have to give him a listen on Wednesday morning and give it a stab.

Wow.

I don’t really do the nerd thing, I pretty much hate sci fi and fantasy, I am sure harry potter is neither. I don’t play games, I have a psp but its not for games, I watch video on it. So when a mate of mine suggested I give world of warcraft a go, I sniggered a little, after all I have a wife. The whole premise was a bit of a turn off, genius mind. Imagine, you buy the game, 30 quid please, so you have bought the game, now you pay to play it, to use the servers, you have to pay again, on a mont
