Yeah man, I'm hoping in doing that again. Great place! Nah no problem man, we'll chill soon. I'm not too sure honestly. But my impression is that they'll stay until they retire. So I still got some NL years left for sure :) Thats cool man, I'm glad your enjoying it. For sure, it's good to gain more knowledge. I'm sure those classes you don't enjoy much will somehow become useful in the future! Glad man, you get to record the local jazz cats of Istanbul? Sounds like it's gonna be a new centre for music if it isn't already. yeah man, this year is gonna be intense. As we speak, I'm at a piano room practicing for this exam I got for jazz harmonics for piano. It's pretty dope but challenging! Thanks man, I'll keep you posted! As for the Avishai Cohen concert, I understand but def try to check it out. The man's a great composer! Anyways man, take care and speak to you soon

Summers go waaaay fast. Yeah man! Greece was great. I didn't end up going to Thessaloniki but did say a range if islands. Beautiful place, beautiful people and easy living! Yeah man, that hurricane looked intense. So much rain water everywhere. I was actually in NL for some days before heading out. I saw Antonio though, which was nice! He seems real happy too. I ended up playing a gig too with that ska band in Kremers. Good way to end the summer :) You gonna be seeing any gigs anytime soon? Hows it going by the way?

DUMB LUCK is how. it's actually pretty good i quit my job because i was searching "music jobs bristol" or something and came across their ad. normally i wouldn't respond to those things but they had such a varied list of influences, it was all the way from like gang gang dance to broken social scene to radiohead to god knows what, normally those ads are like "must like pavement, guided by voices, times new viking, another 10 bands that sound exactly the same." went to two auditions, had to write lyrics/melodies for some tracks they sent over and i got in. scariest thing, auditions, haha. played human racing in the first one, thanks annie. so are you in turkey at the moment or are you in holland? wish i could go back but no money, no time :( and yeah, anika's all over it! my friend knows the singer's girlfriend, must be so weird when you hear lines like "i came so hard in your mouth" LOLOL.

ah that's amazing, sounds like the right move! is it all studying or is there work experience and stuff in it? i don't know how to describe the music, i guess there are aspects of like, krautrock, 90s indie rock, afrobeat... you'll love the basslines, really playful and melodic, some of them are really colin greenwood, others more joanna bolme. so difficult to take a step back and describe your own music, guess it'll be more obvious once we've played live and stuff. the guitarist and drummer were session musicians for john parish at one point, toured with him and played on an album, ridiculous. the job, yeah... i had some problems with my manager's language and attitude so there was a lot of bullshit there, which got sorted out, but then it was just too high pressure and not at all what i wanted to do.

oh wow that's so cool. i saw on facebook that you were going to be in istanbul, didn't realise it was 2 years though. what's the course? strange mercy is SO FUCKING GOOD. example lyric: "what is so pressing / you can't undress me." hooootttttt. haven't been up to much, been a pretty rough couple of months but it's looking up, just trying to find another job at the moment. joined a new band though and it's the most serious thing i've ever been in, got 7 songs so far, gonna start playing shows at the beginning of october and then record them. so exciting(!) but mostly, yeah, no idea what i'm doing, just crashing at a friend's house until their housemate moves in, then no idea!! it'll make for a great story in 5 years' time but right now, so stressful.

Re: Ellen Page theory... I watched this really shitty episode of The Simpsons that she guests in for like 30 seconds (as a singer/actress called Alaska Nebraska, get it?) and it was totally worth it. Full fledged theorem.

Holland's good! Wu-Tang was a definite highlight, still reeling from it. Been doing a lot of cycling, reading, sitting... totally ready to start working already. My stepmother dug out my Dad's [url=http://www.cameraworld.co.uk/images/products/large/Olympus%20om2n%20bundle.jpg]old camera[/url] and I managed to get it working, just waiting for some film to be delivered so I'm super excited about that. Gina gets here on Thursday for two weeks so should be a bit more busy. What have you been up to?

It was a huge range of stuff, only a couple of the new ones. You Got Me and Here I Come were my favourites. Biddle is so amazing, good lord. He played a 2 minute bass solo, it was incredible. Questlove and Knuckles did like a 10 minute drum solo too where everyone left the stage, I think Ewan creamed himself. They did all this choreographed dancing where they were like chasing each other around the stage and jumping 180 degrees every beat (Biddle kept fucking it up, typical white guy... he also tried to get on the bass drum at the end and like 3 of them had to help him up and then he jumped and fell over, Black Thought was killing himself laughing.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWrfLhX964I !!! So similar. NSJ was sick! I do not know how none of us have ever been before. I was looking at previous line-ups and like... Q-Tip and Erykah Badu last year! What the what!? The Roots were the best... kind of expected it but they exceeded my expectations. Goddamn. The encore was one of the most glorious things I have ever seen. Tuba Gooding Jr <3 Macy Gray was the surprise second, she is the most adorable person! Ewan can testify to this. She even covered Creep, it was euphoric. It was genuinely so amazing though, she is so entertaining and her band rule. So many other awesome bands, cannot even think to list them. It's really cool though, it's big enough that the atmosphere is mental but not so big that you get lost or can't see or anything. Definitely going next year unless they change the promoters and the line-up sucks, which I very much doubt. I'm sure there are other things to say but I'll have to remember them first...

probably have to pay full price for that one, there aren't so many going... guess everyone just wants to stay home to see Holland win (eeee!) That's crazy that you guys are all gonna be done next year... you're going to have proper jobs and everything :| The more I think about this shit, the more I wish we could all just live in the woods and forage for food and stuff. Real life is so stressful.

I don't know, I guess it's not Suarez's fault because anyone would have done it, but they should really award penalty goals when that kind of shit happens because giving someone an 80% (or whatever the success rate is of penalties within games) chance of scoring is pretty lame when they most definitely would have had the goal without the foul. Reason #237823 why FIFA need to update their rulebook, I guess. I managed to sell a few of the photos, not enough to make it worth the effort for now really though... I'm gonna be staying in Bristol, getting a job when I go back in August/September. The free festivals are pretty great! Baroness were so fucking sweet at Metropolis, as were Japandroids. Not sure about de affaire yet, the line up is amazing but it's spread over the whole week so it's tricky to choose a day. Such an effort getting there too. Got a ticket for NSJ on Sunday for 42.50 though! So many people are trying to get rid of them. Hoping to get a Saturday one too but I think I'll

As usual, I would be quite happy to swap, haha. We had a huge thunderstorm during the Ghana game last night (they were fucking ROBBED!) and I hoped that would be the end of this weather but today it was like cycling through a light soup. Better than yesterday but ehhh. I was wearing shorts and now my legs look like [url=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YxrFpUNKmPU/So3BxgCFNMI/AAAAAAAAAqw/pyFsVc3XGz8/s400/icelolly.jpg]this[/url], only the other way around. Damn uneven tans! I'm here until mid-August, going back for Green Man and End of the Road... wasn't going to do any festivals but I'm taking pictures/writing so the tickets are free, can't really say no. Not sure what's happening after that... going to live with people until I find a place, hopefully before September. Get a job cleaning dogs or walking toilets or something. My mum wanted to go to Turkey but I think that fell through, not sure what we're doing now. Are you staying there the whole time? + Did you find work for next year?

First time through, I got that feeling like "ughh why did they have to sample all these songs I know so well, it just makes it seem like a mixtape" but it totally rules. Totally rules. Singing along to all the choruses with a face like [url=http://zirkel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/big-smile-1966.jpg]this[/url] already. I can drop it if you don't have it?

Sounds prettty sick tbh, wish I'd been able to go :/ Not only Norah Jones, but Pat Metheny, Tower of Power, Marcus Miller and Earth Wind and Fire ALL in the same room on the same day! They've done pretty good with no overlaps this year, except booking Stevie Wonder and Nas/Damian Marley at the SAME TIME :/ And I'm totally going to see Macy Gray, just for the lulz.

Still can't believe you actually got it you bastard. Worth the pittance in postage you paid then? Northseajazz keeps on looking more awesome, they just replaced someone i'd never heard of with Tower of Power, and were all "sorry if you're disappointed." Little do they know how happy they've made me. Although I managed to trip over my headphone cable last night and wreck my headphone socket and now I'm stuck with shitty laptop speakers until I muster up the courage to send it off and wait however many weeks they deem necessary.

Haha wow. Sounds like an experience and a half! How could they not have prepared for rioting!? It's beyond me... they should have had two police for every audience member, haha. That's incredible though. Got shivers at the 'YOU made history' bit. I hate that stuff in theory but I always fall for it, probably would have been weeping if I were at that show.

Shit, I think I saw that one on TV! Is it pretty old, and she's being like super super dirty?

I'm worrying about the physics of playing guitar and holding a log at the same time- I want all of us to be in character for the whole set. Gonna have to get Elena to go as The Man From Another Place and dance at the front. I've seen some episodes of Extras, it's on my 20 foot long list of shows to watch from start to finish. I don't anticipate reaching it any time soon, but one day...

If we don't play in London on the weekend of the 4th/5th, I'll be having my birthday party in Bristol... which is also going to be a house show/Twin Peaks-themed fancy dress. Seems like a good excuse to celebrate the end of your first streak of exams! Pretty sure I'm going as log lady, just so you don't go stealing my costume. Dale Cooper's already taken but I'm sure there will be 10 Dale Coopers so I guess it doesn't really matter. Anyway I'll let you know when we know what's happening!
