Ok... I know I have been gone for a while... I'm sorry... I have been moving into a new place, I've been having bandwidth problems, festivals and shows and money problems from all the above... apparently my favourite Myspace friend Lolly thought I'd relapsed and O.D.ed as I hadn't spoken to she or Drew Shambles in a month... turns out I'm still here ( I've got my tape recorder now for the phone... will be calling Drew in the next two days so hold your horses! The interview will be in text here on the [...]
Well, once again... I would like to thank everyone for checking my blog... for the second month in a ROW, however, I have almost gone over my data transfer limit... this means that instead of posting lots of shit all the time... I have to cool it until I can get some more storage and some more tools to work with. That kind of sucks but I don't really have a choice...

So... not unlike my giving up on Lily Allen before I heard her... I had also kind of given up on The Kooks before I heard them. I had seen a lot of people slagging them off in the NME (are you seeing at pattern lol?) and I was like "eh I have to much fucking music to listen to already". The Kooks primary hater was, none other than, Johnny Borrell from Razorlight who said they were "cunts from music school" or something like that. Now... I'm not a HUGE Razorlight [...]
OK BEFORE WE EVEN GET INTO IT HERE... I was checking my .mac account earlier... I usually don't check it very often... and I saw that Apple sent me a letter! I think "how nice of them to contact me!" until I read it and it says "Dear Mr. Barnett: You are WAY over your monthly bandwidth limit. Keep this shit up and we will deny you usage of our sites". Ummmmmm....Ooooppps? Given the good news I had to take down all my prior posts. I know... it sucks. I [...]
