Friendster Is Temporarily Unavailable

What to do NOW?! I really wanted to check my messages today cos yesterday I was getting lots of emails saying You have a Friendster message from ...... and I was trying to read them but it wouldn't let me. It was well frustrating.

What the fuck is Pacific Standard Time (PST) anyway?! I only know GMT.

Swedish Serendipities

A suggestion has been made that I and my *girlfriend Susie take a trip to Sweden in November to check out a couple of producers. I am thinking about this.

*totally in a sexual way

Fucking Bands

I told a certain band that they needed to record new songs with a producer before they could go any further, this is what they are now doing.

Wink Of An Eye

Remember that Star Trek episode when Kirk "disappeared" it was called Wink Of An Eye? And really he had been accelerated to a speed faster than any of the crew could detect? That's me

Grown Men Don't Fall In The River, Just Like That

So the header is one of The Liars song titles! How cool?!

I had a rad night last night....off to the ICA with The Poverty Jetsets and Steve Lamacq to watch some jolly good bands and the lovely Stacey from Cityrockers.

Straight after that a cross town dash to see the Vaults at the Monarch.

Good night!

I missed Susie!!

Wise Words From Hi Fi

Some truths about management...that maybe of some comfort to you.

1) They never appreciate you or what you do for
them. Be OK with that. Like a parent with kids.

2) Don't ever take it personally, as they say in
the mafia 'it's just business'.

3) The manager always gets sacked eventually.
(quote: Jazz Summers)

4) Don't take any of it personally.

5) Imagine you're on a beach and each pebble is
a band. If a pebble falls out of your hand you
can always pick up another one. As they say in
the music business 'There will ALWAYS be another
band'.

6) Don't take it personally.


I so miss Hi Fi!! He was a golden god!!!
