Snow...
Ok I can completely understand that you are now fed up with ALL the twitters, blog posts, facebook updates about the snow. Well I ain't over with it yet...
There's another fresh layer of snow outside and I am considering buying myself a sledge. I'm all cozy and warm indoors, hot mug of tea, fag etc and all seems perfect with the world until my dreams of a sleigh ride are (partly) dashed due to the fact that i can't literally leave my front door without a shovel. But hey, I NEED this much snow for my sledge right?
Aside from doing actual work today (I'm in the middle of editing a new video project and it took me 6 hours to edit 30 seconds the other day...technological nightmare!!!) I am going to make time for building a snowman and possibly an igloo conservatory at the back of my house for my parents. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
In fact I have enough snow here to build a whole village of igloos, i might even build a fancy ice hotel like like the one in Sweden.
I HAVE GRAND PLANS....

DJ of the Year: John Kennedy XFM
Here's a little shout out to our favourite DJ, Mister John Kennedy:
We did a session for his Xposure show back in October and last week we were summoned to XFM Headquarters to play some favourite songs and talk about our new EP.
John has been a staunch supporter of our band since the very beginning. He's an old school genuine alternative music fan and it's great to see such people still around in the industry today. It gives us all hope.
I wrote a post a while back about John Peel and it seems to me that the person picking up the pieces of such a legacy is John Kennedy.
Check out his show, phone in/text in, request songs and bands as your voice is being heard by someone out there and that's a great thing.

Mourning a legend
This month we've lost a local hero - Harry Diamond, a superbly talented photographer, friend and regular at The George Tavern.
He was one of the few who kept me company at The George last Christmas when I had nowhere else to go.
Our gig on New Years Eve will be dedicated to him. In the meantime, search and explore this remarkable artist that deserves to be remembered and adored.
Thank you,
D-Bird
