So, where were we?

Aside from mis-using promotional tools for cutesy animal movies, of course.

Last night Nick Griffin got rinsed on Question Time. Much fun was had by all.

Work is under way on issue 2 of the zine. So far we've shifted 60 copies of issue 1 (as in sold, given to shops, traded for stuff, etc) and, well, I'm pretty damn chuffed with that! I'm likely going to get another 30 printed up tomorrow. If you want to contribute anything for issue 2 (or any subsequent issue, as this does seem to have become an ongoing project) please get in touch. I should have an interview with Jeff Rosentock (Bomb the Music Industry) in issue 2 which I am absolutely fucking stoked about. I've been a huge fan of Jeff's work for years, and getting to put him on earlier this year was such a high point for me, plus he turned out to be a genuinely nice dude as well.

John Power Up is carrying on the tradition of Power Up in Norwich in my absence by booking some stellar shows. Namely; The Skints, The Peacocks, Kevin Devine and We Are the Union. So if you're in the Fine City, look out for those.

I've nearly finished demoing the new MC iPod EP. The four tracks are written, and I've tracked vocals for three of them, just need to do this last one. I'll see how it all sounds together and make a decision as to where I'll do the final recording. It might end up being my bedroom (as usual), but I'm learning more about recording technique so it'll sound better than previous stuff. The demos - in my opinion - sound pretty good.

So yeah, good times generally. Keep watching the skies, as they say.
