This week, second attempt at recording, and even some interaction when I do so. Recovering from disc failure with some great bands sending me tunes. The Space opens, with John Peels first 100 records. I’m out of touch. Duran Duran to be in the spotlight at the olympics, the best of UK music? Mmm, alongside them will be battleships, fight aircraft and Surface to Air Missiles (not air to surface!), which is overkill, literally. Should I do news? Oz billionaire to make Titanic float again, making a new one with 21st Century technology shoehorned in to 1912’s design, will it fit?

After a week off, getting back up to speed. A nice break off doing stuff, back here, non stop. Watching more live bands, and a disk failure (losing all 33,000 music tracks) makes this week a disappointment. But, interesting news Spotify to be added to the charts? Nooooo! well, not yet, Music has same effect as performace enhancing drugs, say psychotherapists, and crazy celebrity name of the week goes to Astala Dylan Willow Cohen-Geldof, well what do you expect when your mum is called Peaches?

This week, I’m calm cool and collected, not like the freakish weather we’re having. Getting to see live music again in London, and keeping my head down ready for The Olympics, really not looking forward to that. A Susan Boyle musical, so soon? Better off going to the states with that me thinks. A fantastic summer killing zombies, might just be ahead of me, if I can convince some people.

This week, The European Podcasts Award, Hammerfest and more DarkCompass tattoos on other people, I should get everyone done. Liked The Hit Factory?, well here’s a concert just for you, Simon Cowell to axe X-Factor?, yes please, so much the better for independent music, and a road filled with Porn DVDs, no one so far has claimed them. Getting them off the residents might be an issue.
Thanks again so much for voting for me at the EPA, Best Personality in the UK, and Second in the whole of Europe. Again it could not happen without you my listeners, sorry minions.
