Lots of shows! Bruce Springsteen (the mafuckin' BOSS, I'm telling you, for real that man had more soul than the whole crowd put together). Steely Dan (I'm sorry but mock my music taste when you can harmonize like that. Yeah didn't think so…). And finally last night Jeff Beck which was killer because David Gilmour from Pink Floyd came on outta nowhere and did a sneaky little solo. Plus Imelda May sang on a cover of 'Lilac Wine' by Jeff Buckley, one of my favorite songs ever. It was incredible! And yes I do have the music taste of a 60-year-old in some respects but that's ok. Yesterday I booked tickets for Pharoahe Monch and Chrisette Michele tp balance it out. And some other stuff too, but I don't remember what.
Ok I went a little Supra crazy and bought those Skytops & TKs but it was so worth it for the following reasons:
- They are sooo comfortable.
- The Skytops have a pocket to hide things in (drugs/candy/both) inside the tongue.
- I got to flirt with the cute guy who works in Offspring, Camden on 2 consecutive days.
- They are dope.
I also ran away from home this week at one point and went slightly insane but that's over now. I hate when that happens, I can't control it. Sometimes I really think I might go crazy once and for all. But the girl in 'Prozac Nation', the book I'm reading now, felt like that a lot and she made a book about it so maybe I should do that and exploit myself for moneys.
Met up with Ben and hunted down a guy for some bike pedals. It was a laborious mission and we were hungry. Then had a delicious burrito and banoffee pie at The Diner (even though Benny wanted to go to Wagamama. Haha I win!), and discussed life in general. We always see famous people when we go out, I don't know why. This time we saw Mathew Horne (non-British readers probably won't know who that is). Anyway it was cool to see my brother from another mother and reunite the Poose Posse. It's one of the best things about being back in London.
Here is my cat, Skywalker, on the prowl. He was totally spooked by my Macbook, I don't know why. I swear he's autistic, if cats can be autistic. They probably can.
Also this week I have made progress in the way of songwriting. I've got something coming soon using a Nas instrumental. Could be really good, could be really average, we shall see. I have this idea to do a short EP, maybe 6 songs of oldschool hip-hop beats/samples, pretty much left untouched, with new vocals. It sounds really simple but in actuality it's not because it's hard to turn a song that was originally about a shootout into a song about mental illness and an affair on a cruise ship (yes, really). It's a challenge make it sound legit/authentic and suitable if you see what I mean. Anyway more on that soon.
I've been thinking about going away at the end of the summer probably to SF or LA but maybe just NYC again because I love it there. And also maybe going to Saint Petersburg next year! I know it's ages away but I have the feeling that Russia would be totally nuts. Has anyone visited there? What's it like?!
I'm just about to post a separate blog of my nails so hold the presses.
