Its impossible to continue writing this blog without offering some sort of explanation for the absence. It is also very difficult to begin writing again without sounding incredibly cliched and a little self-important.

I wrote this blog to put forward my thoughts on music, be they original, compounding what others have written or in response to whatever the hell is going on. However, these days it seems that everyone has an opinion and when you read as much anbout music as I do, you find it difficult to write without feeling you're repeating what you've read somewhere else, even if you're not.

But screw that. I've read many things that haven angered me (read London Metro's review of FATM albunm Lungs) and had many interesting music debates that I would love to have expressed and organised on here.
Often your own self-doubt gets the better of you and when there are no pressures to write, you find that you simply dont, however enjoyable it is.


The one thing about a blog, it is like a mistress. You do it on the side, sneak it in when you have a chance in between all the other crazy stuff that fills your life. You often leave it for a while but always come crawling back.

So im back.

Consider this (another) apology for my rather delayed absence.
I hope you're still with me
