Psicosis

I'm going to six festivals this summer with the potential for two or three more because I can't get enough of festivals, yet I'd never want to go to Glastonbury - it just looks way too big. What's the point of walking forty minutes to get from one stage to another, only to see an act dodging 15m flags and looking like ants? Now Bestival, that looks like fun.

Fucking come to Australia already, preferably for the Laneway Festival in February. He was good at Coachella but I need to see him again.

I occasionally buy on iTunes, but only if it's something that's exclusive to iTunes (they have a lot of live sets/"Originals" type things) or if I need to get an album for a review quickly and don't have the time to go to a CD shop. I much prefer buying the physical CD and ripping to MP3/Flac etc.

Hardy ha. I'm serious? I love skiing. Never thought of Australia as a hot spot. Oh it's not a hot spot but yes, some states in the south/south-east of Australia have mountains and those mountains are high enough for real snow to fall on. Perisher Blue Ski Resort at the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales is the big ski mountain, with Thredbo in NSW, Mt Buller and Falls Creek in Victoria being the others.

Will do - I'm going to try and check out the other artists music in the coming weeks. I'm really looking forward to seeing Fuck Buttons, Afri-Rampo, The Saints and Spiritualized (in a quiet setting finally) and know the additions over the next few weeks will get better.

Hardy ha.

Booked my room and tickets today, cannot wait for this one. So.. anyone joining me?

Lykke Li - Breaking It Up. Incredible pop song.

The Sounds of Young America and Jordan, Jesse. GO! are my daily podcasts out of the pure volume of episodes they release - check them out at maximumfun.org Other then that I like This Week In Tech (twit.tv), Big Poker Sundays (pokerroad.com), Gordon Gartrell Radio (gordongartrellradio.com) and the Live Concerts from NPR's All Songs Considered (npr.org).

I was thinking about going to this earlier in the year, but given that ATP are going to have their own Australian festival (curated by Nick Cave & ATP, rumoured first artist is Public Enemy playing ..Nation Of Millions..) I might just do the SXSW/Coachella double.

Hot Garbage.

So much hipster-hop.. If you go, make a point to check out Wale - that guy is going nuts right now.

After watching a documentary about Finland and Eurovision last night, I just felt the need to link this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5tn63bZK9Y

Wogan sounded pretty bored throughout the night I thought, not as funny as previous years. Spain should of won *tear*.
