Podling II – The Sequel

My old trusty ipod died – Podling had been faithful to me for over 3 years – never letting me down – always with me providing a soundtrack to my life – but sadly Podling’s battery just wasn’t up to the life of hardwork into which it was born. Podling – you shall be forever [...]

A day of chaos in London

What the fuck was going on today? It seems like today was a day meant for travel woe! I got to Vauxhall station this morning on the way to work and it was closed. It seems TFL had neglected to send me their usually helpful text message letting me know that my ‘travel to work’ route [...]

It will find you…

What’s going on…? I am starting to shoegaze again….. must be something Ken’s putting in the London water. Really loving this track from Maps. ‘It Will Find You’: swirly intense loopy guitar stuff. www.myspace.com/mapsmusic

Fields and Everything Last Winter

No, it’s not a cryptic crossword clue…. they’re band and album title respectively. I went to see Fields play live tonight at Kings College London students union. And what a band! Tight, so much energy, truly amazing vocal harmonies, great stage presence…. There aren’t sufficient superlatives to do justice to how blown away I was, especially by a [...]

When is a toothache not a toothache?

Well – In my previous post about my toothache, I said I was going to the dentist today to get it sorted…. and went I did. However, the outcome was not at all what I had expected…. Having not been to the dentist for about 10 years (I know, I know!), I expected to get the standard [...]

I’ve got the blahs – big time!

OK – so I did make a promise to myself that I wouldn’t be using 200feet to rant and moan too much. But fuck it – I need to vent…! Small moan first – I’ve had toothache now for almost a week and I’m sick of it – it’s making me grumpy and short tempered – [...]
