A lovely true life love story for Valerie.
So I was going through my Mum’s record collection and she had three copies of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The one without the cover she said she’d picked up from a jumble sale for no reason known to her, the other two she said had belonged to both her and my Dad. She said that when she was a teenager, before she’d met my Dad, she picked up a copy, while at the...

And in the Third Avenue bus early one morning, Horgenschlag stood over Shirley Lester, and was a dead duck. All because Shirley’s mouth was open in a peculiar way. Shirley was reading a cosmetic advertisement in the wall panel of the bus; and when Shirley read, Shirley relaxed slightly at the jaw. And in that short moment while Shirley’s mouth was open, lips were parted, Shirley was probably the...

You, my dear readers, are all so good at arguing over Pitchfork lists, yet so terrible at discussing tennis. So I’ve helped you by converting the Australian Open into a Pitchforkian Battle of the Bands. Federer is Radiohead. Roddick is Wilco. And the other remaining 14 players you may not be not familiar with are Battles, Dirty Projectors, and so on. Now you have no excuse but to choose...

I don't have appendicitis but in the course of...
The appendix is medically known as “vermiform appendix” and vermiform is Latin and means “worm-shaped”. Gross.
The average appendix is 10cm in length. Gross.
It serves no purpose, other than to fuck with people.
I don’t know what’s wrong with my gut, but I’m glad that it’s not some rank, arbitrary exploding worm that lives inside me.

cool indie kid has records but no record player
halfdoghalfwolf:
wait shit that’s me ;o;
Cool indie kid had records but broke up with her boyfriend and let him keep them because cool indie kid had no record player. Cool indie kid then moved in with even cooler indie kid who had record player. Cool indie kid now has record player but no records. Cool indie kid will never be cool.

I just can’t help but think that when Roger Federer wears anything other than his Wimbledon all whites he looks like a kid on non-school uniform day.

I don’t care if I’m going to upset every trendy arse kid in town, I really don’t like Florence and the Machine. There, I said it.
She’s fucking annoying and the lyrics to ‘Kiss With A Fist’ are ludicrous, I don’t care if they’re supposed to be a metaphor for passion, she’s an overrated fuckwit.

Holy fucking shit I feel nauseous.
I have just received an email from confirming that I will be presenting a paper on my research at the Open University as part of the research series ‘rethinking youth cultures in the age of global media’ next month. I am shitting myself not only because I am so early on in my research that having a coherant and justified paper will be nigh on impossible, but also because David...

I had a lot of fun listening to this album...
Nothing feels good like you in red and blue jeans and your white and night things.
I've got tinnitus.
I’ve had it for a month now. The doctor says it should hopefully go away, but that I mustn’t use headphones until the ringing has stopped. I don’t go anywhere without music, it’s going to be quite a challenge.
I genuinely believe Mudhoney to be the cause.
