Music from big pink



I couldn't resist posting this, the one band currently restoring my faith in British music. The hype's been building for a while, and I'm very excited about the soon to be released album.

In other news, check out my now up and running photography project that I mentioned before here.

Making waves



After losing in quite spectacular fashion at the tennis (0-6, 0-6; my forehand needs some work..) I'm now sitting back and taking in the new track by the quite prolific brat from the west coast of America, Wavves. With a new member on board and a notable increase in production values, it's not so much a departure from his last long player but certainly takes his tried and tested formula of fuzzy chords and 'woooos' and adds a few more twists and turns. Catchy stuff, and has reminded me that despite being unable to behave like an adult on tour he certainly writes some catchy summer anthems.

In other news, I'm currently working on an online photography project thing, and will write more about it when I have a clearer idea of what it will entail. This is somewhat in response to the impending 'presentation of recent work' in the first week back at college - I'm slightly worried my artistic development has been rather stunted in recent months. It's easy to forget they expect it to be a full time occupation. Anyway, I'm now off to bed for a spot of light reading, Virginia Woolf's 'The Waves'.. Seems I can't get enough of them right now..
