Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time...
... I feel alive ah-ah-AHHHH!!!
The weather outside is frightful... indeed it is! I was blown down the street this morning and hid under my hood to stay warm. The cold air is blowing through the window too, cooling the entire office. I'm sat here shivering...
I still feel good though. I feel in the general hyper mood I've had for most of the week. I drew up some more tracks for my playlist, including a band I saw supporting The Cribs last June. Speaking of support bands... a list of gigs I have been to and the supports:
March 9th 2007 - The Cribs - Pavilion and The Research
April 5th 2008 - The Hives - Henry Fiat's Open Sore
June 7th 2008 - The Cribs - Televised Crimewave and Last Gang
September 1st 2008 - Serj Tankian - InMe
September 20th 2008 - Scars On Broadway - Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster and Paradox
October 11th 2008 - The Subways - Twin Atlantic
December 19th 2008 - The Futureheads - Cornshed Sisters, Uncle Monty, Viva City and another b(l)and
December 28th 2008 - We Are The Physics - Fangs and John McFarlane
My two favourite support bands ever were Televised Crimewave and of course Viva City!
Right, next show is the Kaisers with Black Kids in support. From what I've heard about Black Kids they are far too commercial for my liking, making music for the scenesters and the radio. I hate scenesters.

And yay!! It's sorted!
I'm now on a £15 a month contract, after waiting days for my order to go through. So I'm happy again. They took their time like but I'm all sorted now. In a happy, hyper mood again!
COOOOKIESSSSSSS!!!
Turning into the Cookie Monster a bit here, shoving the things into my mouth, running around screaming, not knowing what the hell I'm doing...
I had another 'hyper' moment last night and ended up with another silent disco, looking for remixes while on the go. I found a club mix of Somebody Told Me by The Killers which had loads of bass but apart from that it was really flat. I did find another mix which was a bit more synthy, this which I preferred. Viva City were played again, their next show is at The Other Rooms near the Life centre in Newcastle on Friday 27th February. I am really looking forward to their album. All I have to listen to at the moment is what's on their myspace and a mix they did with Don Diablo called Audio Endlessly.
I heard the new Franz Ferdinand single last night and was suprised at how they've just lost it. The first album was brilliant, the second was also really good but this is just really bland and, dare I say it, what I'd expect from an average band of today such as The Ting Tings. Having said that, I've listened to it just once and probably won't bother giving it a second listen. I've just experienced too much bad music to really care.
I shall leave you with this, labeled as the future rave-rock anthem and is due out soon.

No alarms and no surprises please
Today was strange. I go from being weirdly depressed to this sort of elated happiness in which I am practically dancing around the room to music I would never usually have admitted to liking. And ELO. I've been in a rave of my own this evening and it's been fantastic!
I recall an English lesson at school in which we played pass the parcel to Firestarter by The Prodigy, good days...
Speaking of which I again am brought back to today. It started off on a low, by afternoon I was fine and after tonight's silent disco I'm in a fantastic mood!!

T-Mobile
So, their service doesn't seem that good after all...
On Monday evening I signed up for a Solo 15 contract and received an email acknowledging my order along with my contact details and arrangements for deliveries. It also said I would receive another email when my order had been processed... this of which I am still waiting for so I emailed them back asking what was happening to which they sent an email of receipt saying an advisor would get back to me soon, which hasn't happened. I just expected to get a text or something through on my phone saying the contract had been started, not this irrelevant malarkey. Online shopping is the future? Not if stuff like this is going to happen. I may as well have just gone into the shop and I would've been on the contract within an hour of signing up. Now I have almost no credit left on my phone. What's going on?!
UPDATE: I tried calling the team using the phone number provided in the email which was there for enquiries and apparently they couldn't help me anyway! I'm probably best off going to the shop, explaining my situation and seeing what they can do.

What in the name of Peanut is that!!
The homepage of HMV.com
I mean, what the hell? Again I refer to 'Popularity does not equal quality' and if they think I'm going to listen to Duffy or watch Sex In The City (girly rubbish, it's basically just a load of perverted old women) then they have got another thing coming. As for Duffy, she's just extremely untalented!
Top 5 worst acts of 2008:
5. 30 Seconds To Mars
4. Fall Out Boy
3. Duffy
2. My Chemical Romance
1. The Ting Tings
