SOUTH CENTRAL-Golden Dawn I love listening to music, which is quite handy really because all I seem to do is work at the moment. The great thing about it is you can take it anywhere. Camping, which is a blast. I've seen some beautiful places and climbed some bloody hills. I could say mountain biking but the wretched thing is so covered in dust I can no longer see it and it keeps giving me dirty looks. I am doing an Open University course because my last employers, can I mention names? no, cough nhs cough, were too stingy to provide training for valued employees such as myself. i have just got meself a lovely new job working with children and their families so I'm pretty damn chuffed at the moment.Oh, I nearly forgot,myspace-can I get any work done?No 16 BIT LOLITAS
VAMPIRE WEEKEND-Oxford Comma leroy offa Fame-how sexy is he??? I sort of met Danny Rampling once;I say met but I was a bit gone-you know how it is. Anyway, was dancing away and got in my head that I just needed to go over and have a nosy.But the weird thing was as I set off the crowd appeared to part to let me through.As I got to the decks he looked up and stuck his hand out so I could shake it.My hand was so sweaty I still get embarrassed when I think about it. The man truly is a legend and I would love to meet him,preferably with dry hands and not gurning off my face.Mark Ronson, for reasons outlined below. I would probably poo myself if I ever met him, Jeremy Vine,as long as he wears those stockings and suspenders he wore when he and the other news-readers did The Rocky Horror Show for Comic Relief-I only watched tht bit just for him then turned over again. 16 BIT LOLITAS
