Me on 'Clones' by Ash, published on my favourite music blog
I am slightly overwhelmed by the fact that it’s there. Is that a bit sad?
My bro Ollie, hella writing about a song all up on the best British music blog. Ever.

Fao: Alex
Nope, my boi Simon (who is putting the gig on and is in the amazing Ace Bushy Striptease) basically came up with that on his own, though he is no doubt aware of my fondness for the phrase “postpop”.
My band, my band, my band is playing a show. We form the link between the proper hardcore opening and the twee pop headliners. I am pretty excited.

I don't know, a lot of this seems sensible but it also feels a bit worryingly calculated and clinical. (Advice for Musicians)
And on further reading, this seems to be a bit “Hey, want to try for mainstream success and then just sort of be obscure and loved by a few people?”. It’s appealing to a very pre-Pitchfork mindset. SO BASICALLY, NEVERMIND.
Important Note(s)
- If I describe someone as “earnest”, this is not a compliment. This is one of the worst things I will ever say about a human being. (Conversely, honesty is awesome. It’s a difficutl one)
- In an effort to be less of a terrible person, I am going to limit myself to one Hate Index (oh yeah, it’s coming back) per month. These lists will feature no explanation and no debate will be entered into. And the rest of the month? NOTHING BUT LOVE.
- If I had one wish and I was not allowed to use it to SAVE THE WORLD, then I would use it to give Birmingham a decent indie club. I mean goddamn, my life would be so massively improved by that one medium-sized change.
- If I get one quote that I am rembered by, I’m going for this - “Drinking without dancing is like masturbation without orgasm”.
So.
We just had a very good band practice. I am starting to QUITE like this band I am in. I am now a lot less worried about our first gig being a month way. Breathe////Easy.
On a totally unrelated note, people who don’t like any Joy Division songs can fuck right off. I’m not saying they’re the best band ever or that you have to LOVE them but - Seriously? Not ONE? Idiot.
“And the other reason why my band would be exactly like Los Campesinos!? Because I’d want to hear 600-odd people shouting “Oh, we kid ourselves, there’s future in the fucking/But there is no fucking future” straight back at me”
From a lovely review of LC!’s recent gig at the (ridiculously named) Relentless Garage

An Excerpt from my Romance Novel
With my nude, floral-painted body pressed firmly against the wall, I could only stand still and hope that it would blend seamlessly with the floral wallpaper, hiding me completely.
“She can’t divorce me if she can’t see me,” I thought.
“The author challenges Jim Davis to throw aside his formulaic and predictable cartoon style by taking a classic Garfield strip and filling in nihilist dialog. Perhaps he could embrace edgy subject such as math, charts, and geek relationships?”
