Late night ravings

Leeds Festival: Good thing.

Saw many bands that were good. High points: Goldie Lookin Chain, Ash, The Darkness, and A, a band that had one hit about three years ago and whose album I recently happened across on somebody else's shared drive at work - and highly enjoyed. By some fluke of synchronicity they happened to be playing at the festival, which meant that against all odds I was at a side stage while ghostbritain was at the main (watching the SWhite Stripes). Tattoo.

Low points: Being rained on. The sheer size of the site. Getting ditched. ( It's not right, but it's okay. )

pps OMG who is gowhonker! My only clues are

• His/her friends list appears to be a stripped-down version of ghostbritain's
• He/she is using the same journal layout as ghostbritain
• He/she started posting after ghostbritain stopped
• He/she seems to have the exact same writing style as ghostbritain

upon examining the evidence I have concluded that the only person capable of arranging this is wulfboy, playing some sort of esoteric practical joke on everybody. He murdered ghostbritain on Thursday and wore his skin as a suit during Leeds festival. DAMN YOU RAFFERTY.

It is late and having OD'd on caffiene in order to safely drive home at 3AM I am unable to sleep. However this does not make my any more coherent. So I will stop typing now god damnit. (Note that I typed this paragraph before I added the massive great cut above. So much for sticking to my guns.)

Music, music, curry and tats

Have spent a cheerful afternoon going through my music directory telling Musicmatch Jukebox to prepend the filenames with the track number. Have also discovered how to tell it to do this automatically on rip - obviously it's in Settings / Recorder / TRACKS DIRECTORY. "Track Number" under "Name Track File Using" is now checked. This will enable me to listen to albums in the order the artist intended, even when burned to MP3 (my car stereo sorts alphanetically duh). Similarly, I have sorted the tracks from the album ghostbritain gave me into folders, so I can find tracks more easily when I have a mind to (and, again, numbered them by track).

So.

I was going to do a more detailed breakdown of the weekend's musical experiences, but I have decided that others are vastly more capable than I. So here are a few concise notes. Go here to see the full listing and find web pages for the bands, I can't be bothered...

( Notes, concise )

Note that these reviews are entirely subjective and I am using some of these words without a license, so they may be directed wrongly. That's not my problem.

So, today I was expecting a call from myki about going out for a curry - at 5 o'clock I realised my phone had entirely run out of batteries, hence this not arriving. On charging, I found a text message saying the curry was at 2. Oh well, after a quick call to Mike I found that the curry place was closed anyway and they'd been to the pub instead - I still would have liked to have gone but it's less of a loss. Apparently they're going to see Chronicles of Riddick later, which I passed over on the basis that I've seen it - it was tempting to get at least some use out of my UGC unlimited cinema pass, but I really don't want to expend the petrol for that movie.

Currently have a "tattoo"; it was free from the Nintendo GBA stand. I assumed it was a game tie-in, but apparently it's just a GBA special edition. Bizarre. Still, I have the design on that case on my left forearm in black ink. It looks cool. Every so often (like now) I consider getting a tattoo. Then I remind myself that it will still be there when I am sixty. This puts me off, as old men with tattoos are sad.
