    She's a star in waiting, not really an enviable place to be if I'm honest, but it has been obvious for some time in my opinion. More importantly you picture is just so good.

Can't believe a week has passed since I arrived at EOTR. This time last week I was probably experiencing the thrills of  Californian heavy blues duo  Deap Vally  (think I previously mis-spelt their name - apologies go out to DV). They warned the audience it was going to be loud (unusual) and it was.  The warm-up night audience generously lapped it up and unlike Dinosaur Jr who were similarly loud/heavy on the final night (more later) there wasn't a melody in sight.  That's no good for me in 2013.  In truth it never has been. As I said last week there 5 bands on the night all from the Communion record label/promotions roster including soon to be Boro faves Catfish and the Bottlemen .  The singer, Van McCann (I'm not buying that's real) is a genuine hoot and a half as well so Teesside people join me at The Westgarth on 8 October.     Overall I counted up that I saw 50 bands/artists over the 4 days and much of it very good or better ...

Glastonbury

Time definitely must be on my side nowadays.  I've even managed to catch a smidgen of Glastonbury on the box. Funnily enough I was having a drink at the Linthorpe on Tuesday night with Gary and Mark and and we waved off a coach full of Boro youths to the festival. Maybe it's different if you're there in the flesh but bearing in mind its roots, it all looks about as rebellious as Michael Gove .  As Mark said it's become like a summer camp for nice posh kids and as some them are very nice and treat me well I'll leave it that. Other than to say U fucking 2 and Coldplay!!!  They really are establishment as you can get.  I see there was  protest against U2's tax avoidance set up which was broken up by the stewards on grounds of health and safety and not by the festival organisers "on the grounds of censorship".  Right on Eavis! Actually caught a bit of U2.  Easy target I know but they really are the most appalling b...

Virgin are really fucking me about, making it very difficult for me to post. I keep getting a message to activate my account. Wouldn't normally bother me but they keep asking me to select a password and when I choose my e-mail address (the same one I've had for about 8 years) it says I can't have it as somebody else has it! Given that I've only stayed with them all these years to keep my e-mail address I'm not going any further until I speak to somebody. My tenant goes in to my house tomorrow so I'll be a landlord so there'll be no more slagging off capitalists in this house. Kirkstone Road continues to be sublime. Got a Chinese takeaway from the new Beijing Dragon at Norfolk shops. It was awesome and it goes straight in at number one (according to my discerning pallet anyway) with a bullet. Happy days!
