Why blog? It's a question that's been raised by a cohort, especially considering it's been over amonth since my last missive.
Well, firstly it was to amuse people, then it was to rant about things, and recently it was to post cool music. So why not all? Hmm hmm? Exactly. The problem is that usually when I feel a rant coming on it's either expelled on an email to a friend or it's not for the ears and eyes of the public - names may be able to be changed to protect the innocent, but the guilty can work it all out.
So as I sit here watching V Festival highlights and nursing what I'm diagnosing as tonsillitis, I feel a rant coming on.
Why has 'Just Jack' (if that is his real name) just proclaimed V as the last big festival of the summer? Reading is next week. And I feel sorry for the poor buggers who stood through his entire set before they heard Stars In His Eyes last. He could have played it first so people could go off and have a hog roast sandwich.
Also, the advert for Kate Nash's album says it is 'the most exciting discovery of 2007'. To who? People who eat bread and water all day long?
And finally, why is that when I type an inoccuous word like 'why' into google image search for a quirky picture, the third picture is of Lily Allen? You can't get away from faux chavs these days. To object, I will invest in a tweed jacket.
But enough of that. Minus The Bear's new album comes out on Monday and it will be brilliant. The first single (ie one they made a video for) is called Knights and they've put it up for download, throught Spin Magazine.
