at blogging. It wasn’t my fault. Virgin Media are fascists and had purposely slowed my internet down to a pace that causes murder.

Anyway Jeej has put me to shame by actually using a hiatus to make his awesome blog mind blowing. Go clicky and make him feel like he hasnt wasted his life.

I didn’t commit a murder btw

I’ve been lazy. I’ve been having second thoughts about the point of music blogging full stop. But I made some promises and I wanna make some changes.
