The possibilities are endless...

Seriously how good are The Steal? Been spinning Bright Grey constantly for about 3 weeks. Amazing record. Unfortunately most record buying has had to take a back seat till probably after Christmas, which is a bitch because I've found somewhere to get Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie for none-ridiculous ebay prices. They're playing in Edinburgh on November 14th, which I'm definitely going to try and make it.

Set up an international and erasmus student society at Uni and I happen to be the President. I was kinda forced into the role! But I'm looking forward to it - the first party should be on Saturday 15th. We should be having a pub night before then as well, probably the Sunday, Monday or Tuesday of that week. Should be fun yo.

Got a week off next week and I'm going home for it. Meh.

It's been a while

What the hell. I said I would try and keep this blog updated.

6 months and loads changes. Finished Germany in epic proportions - including a trip to Monaco and two to Berlin (one for a Rival Schools reunite show) - both of those were awesome as fuck. Spent loads of money, but I didn't really care at the time. I do now cos I have none.

Went to Barcelona, picked up sweet recs. Postal Service 2xLP was one of them. A sealed Pinkerton was another. Had a great time.

Worked at the castle all summer, which was fun. The shifts were pretty erratic though, and I needed to earn more. But I now live with Abbe in Edinburgh and it's great. We literally have no money though. I'm in the 5th week of Uni - it's tough but good at the same time. Did well in my first assignment so hopefully it'll continue.

I'm winning a Futures 2xLP at £4, with only a couple of hours left - so finger's crossed. Had a massive urge to hear Return Of The Space Cowboy again, so I'm trying to find a copy of that on wax. Shouldn't really be spending but fuck it.
