Hey blog-fans, sorry for the lack of updates, but I’ve been fairly busy. One of the things I’ve been doing is reviewing bands (Editors and more, on Monday 11th for example). Check out my reviews for The Wessex Chapter of the Fly Magazine here. This was a busy gig, as I’m sure the hard working Wedge staff would testify…

…online shopping! Fun, but expensive in the long run!

So, more witty and sharp commentary on the odder parts of life at the weekend, if you’re lucky. Heh.
