Ahh - my mistake... sorry! You're excused Full report expected by 1000 hours tomorrow morning!

Where's your report on Elbow, sir?

Me neither...

Not a bad review in the Indie above, read it over lunch, not quite sure what they're getting at in places mind. Got the new album to review - very much a grower, though not sure I'd say it's better than anything the Manics have released in a decade - I've always liked their political edge.

Can they keep a camera angel for longer than 10 seconds?!? I'm feeling sea sick! Maximo Park set is good...

This is intriguing... I like the fella, but no reason not to read this:

It's really good, and probably my favourite Conor involved project... I bought a load of new stuff into the office today to freshen things up - this was an excellent choice this morning

The best thing Bright Eyes never did?

No worries He's a bit of an acquired taste, but his voice is amazing... NP:

Cool - might just make up for having to miss them in London in September

Hmmm... not that won over myself, however, if you like that give Richard Hawley a go, think you'd like it: http://www.richardhawley.co.uk/

That would be more applicable to Mr. Dowdall I reckon... I'm quite happy with being referred to as "bloke"

Blokes is fine! I've been called a lot worse!

I like Liam Frost - singer songwriter, very good imo, had to review his new single for CD Times. if only!

God damn it - what is it with gigs being on when I can't make it at the moment. That M.Ward date is the weekend of my birthday and I'm going to be back in Pembrokeshire. Fuck it - was holding out for a show for him as well... bollocks.

BBC6 Music again... got a bit bored of my iTunes library in work. Cerys Matthews is on Tom Robinson this evening http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/tom_robinson/ and Shack was on there last night...

Insignificance is my favourite, but I've recently picked up Halfway To A Threeway and Bad Timing and both are really good, if a little short. Slightly more folk sounding and stripped back than I'd imagined. I really want to get I'm Happy, I'm Singing and a 1,2,3,4 but it's almost impossible to get over in the UK... grrr...

Quite a nice piece on him on the Beeb website now too: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5169682.stm Love that picture...

Zidane has always had a temper... I'm not making judgement on either player, I just liked the set of clips!
