if this can hold the weight of one us, then it can hold the wait of all of us!

it was unbelievably awesome. one word: FUCKINGAWESOMENIGHT! it finished at 6am, i got home for about quarter to eight!

kirsty is actually coming to live next door now. i went on a date with her yesterday. we went for a quick meal in wetherspoons and a walk around town. it was pretty awesome. she texted me as soon as she got in saying she enjoyed the day. i think there is definately some connection there although im not hoping for the world. im kind of going with the flow for a change. this time, seriously.

as far as music goes these days i'm really into the dance scene. Tilt played Live last night and blew me away. Rank 1 were decent but a bit cheesy in places. Marc West is a god for playing Mirco De Govia's "Voller Sterne (Super8 remix). Andy Bagueley was more entertaining to watch than to listen to. Scott Bond was awesome but the Hi end frequencies in his sound about took my ears clean off. He kept playing with this phaser effect during breakdowns and buildups. that was cool. Solarstone was fucking awesome.

anyhow, last night was awesome. i met loadsa random people. one of them was Solarstone, the very famous DJ/producer/remixer. he gave me and dave tips on production after we sparked up a convo around a typical "good set mate" compliment. he also told us not to multi-band compress our bass sections cos it fucks up the whole concept of a solid rythm. bass always sounds best in mono :) fact!

well, kirsty has had to go home today, but shes actually coming back to live next week. fingers-crossed that she doesn't have to cancel the plan cos she is fucking awesome. the two hours we spent were awesome. its like when you meet someone you know you'll always feel comfortable with. ive met quite a few of those in the past few weeks, and most thanks to Trance music. real trance music! fuck this emo/indie elite that people got going. thats so depressing. ive never felt more accepted than i have in Passion and Godskitchen :)so fuck the rescue rooms and its chic hairdo-sporting arseholes! no offence. some are cool. i wish the indie scene could go back to the eighties and nineties cos the people who go to gigs have never sucked more . i cut my hair shorter. i plan on keeping it this way :)

"Is it wicked not to care?!"

hell no, it isn't Isobel. i luff you Isobel. Come back to Belle & Sebastian Isobel. Although I love your solo stuff Isobel. Go on Isobel. You know you'd like to Isobel.

hey people, just wandering if anyone out there is waiting for ticketmaster to deliver their Leeds Festival weekend tickets?! i am. on their site it says all tickets should be with us by the 18th August which i do believe is today. anyone else panicking that they will not come?!

If whats concealed tends to reveal itself in time,
Just accept that it makes no sense to abide a secret smile.

As kids we're told to always play fair
Smile at your neighbor
And share, share, share
In later years we're taught
To try and be the best
“Look out for yourself, and fuck all the rest
Well, I would say in many ways
We learned much more in younger days. the obvious things
were all so plain to see
Like two for you and two for me
If there are only four I don't need three
That's just how the world should be

You must remember the way
When things are up in the air
It's like the word of the day
And today's word is fair
If you've got two kidneys
It means you have one to spare
Because the people who win
Are the people who share

The scene is like a playground
From back in the day
Jump, swing, scream, yell,
play, play, play
Pick you up if you fall down
And you'll do the same
Look out for each other
It's the name of the game
Go to shows, trust your friends
And the fun just never ends
The obvious things are so plain to see
Like two for you and two for me
If there are only four
I don't need three

If I want to make cookies
And you have the tins
Then we'll eat together
Because who shares wins

If I have the ball
And you have the pins
Then we'll bowl together
Because who shares wins

If I have the helmets
And you have the Schwinns
Then we'll bike together
Because who shares wins

If I'm down with straightedge
And you're down with skins
Then we'll mosh together
Because who shares wins

I know we're just like old friends
we just can't pretend
that lovers make amends
we are reasons so unreal
we can't help but feel that something has been lost

but please you know you're just like me
next time I promise we'll be
perfect
perfect
perfect strangers down the line
lovers out of time
memories unwind

so far I still know who you are
but now I wonder who I was...

angel, you know it's not the end
we'll always be good friends
the letters have been sent on

so please, you always were so free
you'll see, I promise we'll be
perfect
perfect strangers when we meet
strangers on the street
lovers while we meet

perfect
you know this has to be
we always we're so free
we promised that we'd be
perfect

i need to head off for work soon but i really would love to just walk up onto the brierley forest park hills alone so i can lay in a peaceful area with no one and nothing to annoy me. the magnolia on the wall is drying a bit and im growing fond of the spacious illusion it creates.
