OK! Not that soon at all really. But I am already thinking about it because there doesn’t feel like a whole lot between now and then. By that, I don’t mean nothing is happening- quite the opposite. Which means it will be here before I know it.
I do fear birthdays a bit still. Last year I more or less overcame this, and the previous year I just ate meat and got soaking in the rain, so there wasnt heaps to complain about. I dunno… it’s expectation or something isn’t it?! I hate birthday parties- my own I mean. I love other peoples. I love other peoples parties, birthdays and most of all buying them presents.
OH HECK! It’s APRIL you know, APRIL! It was Alices birthday almost two months ago and I am still yet to have taken delivery of her best present. Between the present and I is an illiterate man and I fear this could result in a lo-o-o-ong delay. He never even replied to my last email the shit.
Anyway, here is some stuff I would like, in general, and for my birthday I guess:
1. Building A Desert by Idle Hands
I just really want to own this. It has some really brilliant songs on it. I tried to find it online and it was gong to cost something ridic like $30. I don’t mind not having the actual CD, let’s face it, that will just end up in my bathroom. It’s basically pop punk, which is not something I have ever been comfortable with liking. All my friends when I was a mid-teen were into all of that. I tried to understand- I mean, I kind of liked The Offspring… I even bought a couple of Fat Wreck compilations (which are in my bathroom), but… nah. Anyway, this was release on Trustkill… someone ask that handsome ginger for a copy for me would youuu?
2. Mer Morte by Monarch
Do I have a record player?
No
Do I like Monarch?
Yes
Does the first bit matter?
I dunno.
I really love Monarch and I think I may have pondered before if I really love Monarch fullstop, or if I really love Monarch partly because they have totally charmed me with their cider-sharing, whispery ways. I care not, either way. I want to own this, hold it in my gleeful hands and marvel at its beauty. I will feel the doom through the vinyl. I have no need for ears.
SHIT JUST LOOK AT IT WOULD YOU!??qD.,JDLWEKJQD’M
3. Tegan & Sara Black Metal Shirt.
Heck yeah it’s sold out everywhere, and that’s fine. It’s pure fantasy. I am not even a massive T&S fan, but I do really love this shirt. And their faces. And Walking With A Ghost.
4. Vivienne Westwood Melissa Shoes
P.S ONLY JOKING! I think I would rather die than put my trotters anywhere near such a monstrosity. UIRRJKRJKREHJ
In other news, Metric are playing in Manchester the day I get back from ATP. I wanna go so ruddy bloody much. I am currently weighing up if this is the most foolish thing ever to plan? I am in work the next day. But I have wanted to see Metric for the longest time. Argh.
