Future Plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaans.

Ah, Summer. *Sigh*

It came like the breeze and put our minds at ease. But we already knew that,
"Summer is coming and I hope I feel better by the time it does,
Then I could leave my room my cocoon find the door and walk out to the sun.
Feel like I’ve moved on, lessons learnt my mind is feeling calm and so reassured
Yeah things are on the up, I’m on top of the situation I’ve endured
" dixit Miss Hatherley.

Well, now we need plans - what to do? That is the big question - so here's the answer, for me anyway.

Music surge: Lotttttttts and lots of new stuff to listen to or buy or order, or pre-order.
#1: Humbug by Arctic Monkeys - I feel like saying "Never judge an album by its title", which would make sense because I'd never have bought any AM album otherwise. But fact is I've been waiting for this for two years, so we'll have to restart the process, namely;
Rush to FNAC asap, go to the Music department, grab the album (which entails pupil dilation, heart rate speeding and all that), paying, running down the escalators off to the metro, rushing home, locking my door, closing my curtains, lying on my bed, closing my eyes, and opening my ears (and chakras) and sheding a tear by the last track. Then restarting the process a good 2/3 times before liking it. Anyway, Fire and the Thud appears to be on the tracklisting which was surprising as I've had it for a year or so (acoustic version): Fire and the Thud

#2: Manners by Passion Pit (am looking forward to hearing that one)

#3: Grace/Wastelands by Peter Doherty (should be interesting)

Other than that I don't know really, can't remember my memory is letting me down these days.

As for the rest, I will and shall hate anyone going to Dour during the whole 4 days, but I should be attending Pukkelpop anyway (i.e.: Arctic Monkeys, Passion Pit, Simian Mobile Disco, Kraftwerk, La Roux, Maxïmo Park, Vampire Weekend, Dizzee Rascal, Klaxons (!!!), Kap Bambino, The Maccabees, The Virgins, Dananananaykroyd, Black Lips, Blood Red Shoes, MSTRKRFT, Bombay Bicycle Club, etc...)

So yeah, that's as bright as life gets for me these days. Music. I live off music. A bit like a hobo lives off [G]garbage, though I know many of you wouldn't mind living off Shirley Manson ^^
But yeah. That's it for now...

Merry Summermas my children!
