As predicted, shattered today. Ded. Now go read @moonandserpent's rant on The Transhuman Race is you haven't already: http://bit.ly/daenjj #
Been listening to Foals all day, of course, holding on to that feeling from last night. #
Seeing them play Spanish Sahara live, that slow build to a crescendoing wall of sound, awash in the music. Words fail me.. #
It's up there with seeing Chemical Bros play Setting Sun live at Reading Fest, at dusk, back in '99, with 10 of my best friends #
ugh @twitter.. following b0rked now? gah #
(wow, status update still works? #phew #

Ugh. Staying in my cave 'til it's time for the Goals gig tonight. #
Foals, not Goals.. damn you autocorrect! #
hello DialUp Speed, my old friend #
I have done my rehab exercises. The long and painful journey back to being functional (touch wood) has begun. Now, I dose myself up moar. #
Foals gig may kill me, but this band touches me like no other before and I must go. I swear, it's like falling in love for the first time. #
Hopefully I'll be able to expand up that soon. So miss writing; beware the coming flood! #
People say MySpace is dead, but Twitter is full of teenagers raving about the 'secret gig' for Foals they put on this afternoon.. #
Feels like I'm in the middle of some first-year art student's shitty Bret Easton Ellis rip-off novel right now. #Foalsgig #
My circle of hate serves me as a forcefield. Only the music of Foals penetrates it. #
Spanish Sahara. I'm on the verge of tears. #Foalsgig #
Yannis Philippakis :- if Prince was the frontman for a indie rock band. From Oxford. #Foalsgig #
1am. Strangely wired. Now's as good a time as any to finally start watching Freaks'n'Geeks. #
So.. is James Franco like, immortal? #freaksandgeeksn00b #
