Illness Support Health - Brighton, Monday

Illness will be supporting the fantastic Health alongside Cold Pumas at Audio on Brighton's seafront tomorrow (Monday 19th) night. Tickets still on sale. Sounds like a good argument for skiving off work and heading to the seaside to me.

STA summmmmmer BBQ - this very weekend

Check it out, we've got a BBQ show going down in London this very weekend. Bands + free BBQ + fun music + DJing until they kick us out. i.e., it should be FUN TIMES. To the max. The poster should be bigger, but I guess blogger doesn't like me (I have made poster big - AF). Sorry internets.

In other news, this week I have enjoyed the following things: the new Future of the Left album, the dam-funk remix of Animal Collective's Summertime Clothes, season 8 of Scrubs, and the entire three hours of Bruce Springsteen's set at Hyde Park last summer. BOBBY JEAN!
