Great thanks, how are you? Are you back in a country where the internet is allowed?

Get you! Nicely done indeed, though I'm surprised your inner statistician managed to tolerate the chartlessness so long. Totally going to catch up your play-count. Really glad China's going well for you, particularly the language thing; I was impressed enough by your German... So, life plans: I'm probably just going to muddle about in the northern hemisphere for the rest of this year, then move to New Zealand to do a post-grad teaching diploma around Nov/Dec. Depends on a lot of things, but at least it means I get to put off all that mortgage-career-household guff a little bit longer. I know I'm going to miss England hugely, but hopefully given a long enough goodbye my feet'll have time to get nice and itchy! What do you miss most? Oh and by the way, I forgot to mention that my MA dissertation ended up being on DeLillo, which I thought you'd appreciate... and yet I *still* haven't properly read Underworld. I really shouldn't feel as proud of that as I do.

Hello! My god it's been a while. Well, let's see if I can compress it all into this little box, an achievement likely to be both satisfying and a little depressing... Maybe I should stick to the main facts: well, I finished the MA, remained in Brighton though, discovered/bought/saw a LOT of music, got into post-rock hugely yet retained my penchant for the indulgent singer-songwriter acoustic guitar noodling, took up jam-making but still can't knit. Also acquired a kitten, who's absolutely gorgeous but a proper menace. Currently the kitten and I live in a little studio flat with a garden and no television, but we manage to entertain ourselves with webcomics and birdwatching. And you? Which country are you in now, you capricious thing?

Yeah it's ok, not really absorbed it properly yet. It's light and folky, with all the trademark Rod Jones harmonies that you know and love from Idlewild albums

Looked for your name in the new Rod Jones LP but it wasn't there! Did you not pre-order?!

I didn't laugh at the golf, honest... I was too busy admiring your most excellent charts!

ah hey! things have been crazy in the past two months with applying to grad school but i'm finally on the other side of things! i've got internet now and a sweet and easy quarter so we should definitely talk more. i wanna hear about you in china. going on a lot of awesome hikes, i hope? i hear the spiders are about as big as your hand there. not sure if insect repellent would work...you'd have to just take the initiative and wrestle 'em down. anywho i just got an e-mail from my school telling me that peanut butter wolf is playing at a bar on campus. didn't you say he was an awesome DJ? i just might try him out... starting tomorrow i should be on msn far more! hope to talk to you soon!

And seriously unimpressed with dubstep in '09, only good release I heard was Kode9 12" Black Sun/2 Far Gone.
