Sorry for the lack of activity (yet again...)

I really am sorry (can't you tell?!) for giving this thing next to shit all attention, but I really can't be arsed a lot of the time. Maybe I just need to be inspired more often. Christ, I'm a whiny little fucker. I only ask that something inspires me to write every day, is that too much to ask...? Daily miracles, that'd be good.

This post is already going off on a tangent (my mind feels a bit crazy currently, maybe it's because midnight is now far gone but I don't know) to what I originally wanted to write about, that is my next music review. Actually that wasn't even a tangent from the original subject, it was just a completely random introductory paragraph. I don't know what's going on, I would be most grateful if someone could tell me what this mood/state of mind would be called (I can't think of what it is right now). Maybe I'll do a White Stripes album next (or maybe even a few), no matter what mood I'm in there always seems to be a song of theirs to match it. I suppose for this mood it'd probably be either I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself (I don't), Little Room (just because of the slight touch of insanity inherent in that song, also I am on my own in a little room), or St. Andrew (This Battle is in the Air) (simply because that song is also made up of lots of random shit). Just to give you a little bit of insight into my mind, here are all three songs in an easily accessible format (i.e. youtube flash player). You'll probably all know the first one anyway:

I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself - 


Little Room - 


St. Andrew (This Battle is in the Air) - 


In other news, the first proper song from the new Gorillaz album (which I am very excited about) was leaked today. Well, it was yesterday really but this early in the morning still feels like Wednesday to me. It is the first single too, named Stylo. I really really like it already, but it doesn't really strike me as an obvious lead single. It is certainly far flung from the hip hop/poppiness (hip pop?) of last album Demon Days, but I'll let you make up your own mind. Here it is, in all its glory (aren't I just so generous?):

Stylo - Gorillaz -


In more other news (although obviously not as exciting as the new Gorillaz tune) I ordered Sia a belated birthday present today from the great and wondrous internet. I shouldn't put it here because she'll just see what it is and it'll ruin the surprise. So you'll just all have to find out when she does, sorry (although I know you really don't care). I'm hoping it'll arrive in time for her visit to Brighton next week, if it doesn't I will be most annoyed. I've given it about 9 days to get here though so it should be OK. I also bought myself a deadmau5 shirt which I am pretty pleased with. It looks like this
(see picture on the left) and was totally worth the ridiculous £18 (20 including P&P) I paid for it!

Sadly I am still struggling with exams, it seems like we are already about halfway through exam season (at least) and yet I somehow still have 3 left. I'm also STILL ill (I have no idea how) and I suspect I won't get properly better until spring. I have almost forgotten what it feels like to be well. Fuck winter.
