long time gone
haven't been on here in ages, possibly because i find it weird writing something and sending out into this void that is cyberspace not knowing if it gets read or not, also could be because i'm a lazy ass and crawling towards the computer takes too much of an effort!! plus, have been constantly calling up a place called the welly club desperately trying to get tickets to see the 22-20s in october before we jet off to the americas and are plunged into a veritable music hiatus as i'm sure there won't be much opportunity for discovering or listening to much new music whilst in ecuador(unless there are any indie peeps out there, but i'm not holding out too much hope!). just kinda worried b/c the 22-20s album comes out on monday and they've just had a really good write up in nme and all the uni students are back in hull ( who i hold totally accountable for not being able to buy razorlight tickets! grr!). aah! panicked by the prospect of being away from the british music scene. although at the same time, feeling weird b/c kiera and i were the discussing the semi-mysoginistic element to the indie rock scene, and it's rather upsetting the way girls do seem to be sidelined. maybe i'm just looking at this from a female perspective. but there are so few women involved in that kind of music, and the ones who are are generally seen in terms of their sexuality or are kind of looked down upon(eg Meg White). certainly there does seem to be a male superiority thing. am i being paranoid? it makes me so frustrated that i still haven't learnt how to play my guitar. it sits there and goes out of tune while i lament the fact that i can't play more than the chorus of 'kiss me' which should be relatively easy. anyways, i have to go now because i am within earshot of the ogre half humming, half singing eleanor rigby over and over and over again and i'm about to go mad and go full on tarantino-style violence. so before that happens, i'm retreating upstairs and starting a countdown of how many days before i can escape such torment.
