6:46 pm	Where I live in the world... im sitting in a bar drinking,which sums up[ the past month pretty well,apart from the fact the bar staff have chosen to put a stereophonics disc in their disc playing machine.i would have gone for a bit of dinosaur jnr personally.i am sitting opposite my best friend (other than gavin of course) i am unemployed and currently working at another vintage store in town,cause i cant let go.i move out of my silly overpriced flat in a week,which means not only will i be jobless but homeless too.love is strange,i watched the dylan documentalry last week,and he said 'its impossible to be in love and be wise' . i think if you are a jew you should recognise that bob is the messiah,jesus was as important as poundland when all you have is 98p.i guess i acted on impulse and now so many things have changed i realised i was a donkey.some guy called me ugly last night another guy said i had sparrow legs last week,as well as pimp/flasher etc,theres a couple a new ones.i will never say i hate a place ever again,cause its always you,or the people around you at that given time,any place can be great,its just a bunch of concrete and grass,do with it what you will.so im going to be signed to emi,fed up with this underground bullshit,i want to be massive,cult followings are for cults,and what did they ever do apart from listen to pauls helterskelter,kill movie stars and black people and dress in bed sheets.i cant believe i havent got ill yet,but the next person who says im skinny will get an axe in the eye.thank god for my friends and sigur ros.this entry is ridiculous.off to europe on tour in two weeks,poland for new year,california next summer.gonna buy a bass and get a new place to live and get a shit job and save up a ridiculous amount of money and stop saying ridiculous.

4:24 pm	swings and roundabouts nearly finished my glastonbury journal now which i will post soon..only just remembered meeting trevor and simon from "going live"during new order,a highlight in everysense,simon was mashed.it comes back in dribs and drabs you know becoming a cliche but pink floyd really were amazing at live 8,worth staying in on a saturday night for went to see the bbc concert orchestra last sunday with heather and the best fireworks display i think ive ever seen,twinned with a swan lifted by this crane,and loads of stuff was on fire.i ate lots of sausages and crisps and nearly passed out when they played lawrence of arabia and jupiter from the planets. also saw rem this week,they were suprisingly amazing.i sang like a choir boy,fists in the air in the air.sometimes you just cant beat a crowd pleasing massive band with twenty thousand people behind you.the great beyond,everybody hurts and nightswimming were sublime,i forgot how many amazing songs rem have.city ground is a suprisingly good venue,so much better than the ice arena for those big bands like white zombie thursday was just a horrible day in every sense,just glad everyone i know is ok.. saturday night was pretty much the best night out in nottingham ive had this year..danny I LOVE YOU.must be more careful walking home late at night in those states i tend to get myself in.jogging is good i think,but then you scare other people. tom : sorry about throwing that chair at you during reign in blood last week..but it was worth it right? got arcade fire tickets!

10:44 am	dickhead yes im a dickhead or so someone i thought was a nice guy might have believe,i cant believe i can talk to someone for five minutes at work,be as nice as possible and be concerned where needs be and laugh when needs be and then this person goes downstairs and calls me a dickhead and says my band are shit to his friend overheard by kate.i dont fucking understand people sometimes..it makes me lose faith,george michael give me some rescue rooms was so bad last night i went home and made myself sick .i got the richard gere,that everyone thinks im a fucking dickhead.its weird when theres people you know but you dont know whether they will acknowledge you or not.i fucking hate it.fuck off!gav went to vibelite in bradford,i thought maybe i should have gone there instead.alex and tom i love you.there was some hilarious stances,walks,looks in that place . but they played fugazi and pavement,but id rather have been in bradford listening to DJ happy nappy fuck or whatever.weird/irony etc et c e t c. tom you might have just got me into crass...its funny at first , then in context its extremley passionate and i guess its been hugely influential - artwork/politics etc. get me to glastonbury NOW all i can think to do is go and buy records and take photos , so thats what im going to do. SUMMER IS WEIRD , it never used to be like this when i was a kid.still lets live the dream,seize the moment,hold our heads high x Current Mood: aggravated (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:20 am	born to run!!!!!!!!!!! i cant believe brian eno plays synth on coldplays new LP AND they cover the "computer love" riff by kraftwerk.its should be perfect but im not sure if it works and/or theyre trying extra tough to be cool and credible.i get the feeling people will talk about them in thirty years like we do about the mac now.cause its not cool to say you like coldplay and the mac were NEVER cool when rumours was released,the cool kids were listening to kraut/punk/post punk etc.but the tunes are there really and that cant be escaped.time/media/friends can be so important in liking music to some people and thats fucked up dont you think?it all sounds good to me,so i should just go with that i guess.i think over time the really good tunes will always stand out,its nice to think they will eventually get their day nothing beats the boss in the morning...born to run into shes the one..makes the day a thing to look forward to. SVF got there last night,really enjoyed it off to the warehouse to grade some clobber xxx Current Mood: awake (1 Comment |Comment on this)
