Short answer: Took a break from blogging for a while. Got ill in that time. Not feeling very good as I type now, but I feel like my followers need an explanation.

Long answer: Hi everyone. Boy, it’s been a while since I put anything on here. The last you heard anything from me was that Parquet Courts first impression thing. Whether people liked that or not I don’t know. But it’s since then that I had no idea what else to write about, so the blog’s been a bit empty for a while. For you guys that follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed that I went to the Parklife Weekend Festival in Manchester. “How was it?” I hear you ask. Pretty cool. It was my first festival that I’ve ever been to, and I got to spend it to with two of my greatest friends from secondary school and a whole bunch of his uni mates.

If you want to go to a festival, bear these things in mind: Almost everyone is on drugs. But a lot of people are very friendly. In fact, I had a random chat with a man who was disappointed in Snoop Dogg (who had headlined the first day) for ‘selling out’ and making music for the monetary gain. That was something, I tell you. But things can get fucked up. A person died a few days after being attacked just as Snoop’s set started. Stay safe, and mind where you go.

Also, it can get very muddy. So, like me, don’t assume that the weather is going to be nice because there is a great chance that it won’t be. You will suffer the consequences. I certainly did. Wellington boots are essential. And shorts too.

Saw a whole bunch of artists: Snoop Dogg, Danny Brown (who was probably my favourite, that guy is a crazy mofo), Pusha T, Jon Hopkins, Disclosure, Hannah Wants and a whole bunch of other random DJs whose names I can’t remember. Overall, ’twas a good weekend. Got videos on my phone which I can’t put on Twitter or here, so…. whatever.

That all changed on the train back to uni from Manchester. It got very hot; I felt like I was dying. Been suffering with the flu ever since. And that is why I haven’t made much effort to say anything until now.

Now that I have updated ya? You may want to know what will happen next? Well, I suppose the thing my blog runs on the most is “My iPod” for which the ‘D’ section finished ages ago in May. That will come back. If I’m absolutely better on Monday, it will start then. If not, I’ll try the Monday afterwards. That’s when the “E” section starts, yay.

That’s a daily thing so there probably won’t be any random posts about other things in that time. I’m also watching the World Cup, so that may affect stuff too.

Nice speaking to ya again 😀

jamie.
