absolutely splendid

Splendour in the Grass is only... 55 days and two hours away. It had to be done, this topic absolutely had to be addressed. Now I'm going to go out on a limb here and say not too many people are impressed with this years line up.

Please, get over it.

I'm so sick of punters winging over the fact that this is the third time they've seen Bloc Party or that they couldn't give a shit about Jane's Addiction. In the famous words of Noel Gallagher - stop crying you're heart out. I've never seen a year so full of ungrateful haters. If the line up was so bad then why on earth purchase the $249.95 ticket? Is it so important to attend every festival possible, all for the sake of a few photo uploads on facebook? For those true admirers of the line up, I commend you. Buying tickets was stressful enough, we don't need a bunch of tacky posers there to spoil the weekend.

On a lighter note, it will be the first time I've seen Bloc Party live. I hear they're amazing and I was so excited when I finally had my claws on a ticket that a single glistening tear of joy rolled down my cheek. It's true, I have witnesses.

sharing is caring

The time has come for me to submit myself to the phenomenon of blogging. I've tried it before, I must admit but now it seems as a journalist, blogging is somewhat pivotal to career success. Take for example a good friend of mine who actually inspired me to start blogging. She created fashionfalsehood a couple of weeks ago and has found immediate success with in the blogosphere.

So why shouldn't I give it ago? How better to spend the time I should be investing on writing assignments than writing about things I actually give a shit about.

Like music and fashion?

I should think so.

Now to get back to what I should be writing about - ironically an assignment on how online style blogging will have detrimental implications for print journalism...
