It’s been over a week since I got back… but it was as ever, great. I mostly slept and ambled about, but music wise, CSS, The Killers and Arcade Fire were great. But I didn’t see a huge amount of stuff I really wanted to see… Björk, Spiritualized Acoustic Mainline, The Good The Bad and The Queen, Damon Albarn’s musicians jam thing at The Park, The Hold Steady, oh, and lots and lots of other things. But I did amble and talk rubbish with people for hours - which is why I normally go after all.

It was a bit muddy though. So I’m afraid to say, I did go home on Sunday. And for the first time ever I got to watch some of it on TV, which looked pretty good really.

Like a mp3 blog, but on a cd. And with a magazine.

Before Gary Glitter turned out to be evil, at least The KLF loved him.

“Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!”

That’s the default line in a Wordpress install. So…

This website is not Work. It is not about a careful branding process. Getting overly concerned with design. Pixels will not align. Things won’t be pretty. Inelegant. It will be hard to read. It might be accessible though. This is not about worrying about whether the text is professional, well written or polite. This is a place where I can write, refer to, show, whatever I want. Books, politics, art, stuff and stuff.

It is mainly for me. I forget things - and this might be the best way to remember.

It is also, almost completely nude at the moment. I’ve set the text to be Helvetica, but that’s it for the time being. (Actually, I removed the Helvetica too - now it’s whatever your browser thinks it should be). This is what a website really looks like underneath its clothes.
