I have pins... I love my pins... Got them from the merchandise stand at various gigs or from the cities I've been to... I've been dreaming of a Echo and the Bunnymen pin ever since I read that book 'Meat Is Murder' and the main character had one that kept falling and he kept freaking put he's lost it. And now I have one. And I also freak out at the sheer thought of losing one. I once lost a Klaxons pin (one of the four I had bought at the gig) on the bus and I got back again on that bus (noticed it was missing when I got off the bus) just to get it back... Anyways, yesterday I was leaving work and I looked at my pins... and my mostly-beloved Mod pin was missing...My perfect checkered black and white pin with some mods (doooh) with their perfect tailored suits and two-tone hats on it and a 'Mod' with that The Who's logo-like 'O' ... I loved it... I remember seeing it in that shop in Soho and going all hyper cause it was some perfect. And it just looked so perfect on my black M&S dress. Went back but didn't find it... and now I'm just praying it's somewhere in that office.. and not under some car or in a trash can or something like that, with bags of chips and empty plastic bottle...

Something music-related... Why have I waited so long to get myself Insipral Carpets? Brilliant band, brilliant...
Inspiral Carpets - Directing Traffik

I've also been listening to a shitload of Manics, Suede, Primal Scream, Oasis, Pulp, Happy Mondays and Brett Anderson. Discovered the greatness of Late Of The Pier's 'Fantasy Black Channel' (although I still think they should pretend 'Focker' was never written) and Metronomy's 'Nights Out'. Remembered how great Rage Against the Machine are. Realised I'd gladly do Damon Albarn's brain (God, the music for Monkey: A Journey to the West is brilliant... well, you might wanna skip 'Confessions of a Pig' but the rest is just pure love). And was completely blown away by the new Slipknot (I might mention now the I love their Vermilion Part 1&2). I agree, the masks are a bit of a turn off (come to thing about it, they are a great turn off), but once you get passed them (if you can... ), you get a pretty good band.

Oh, and I hate my job...
