Birthweek!

As you may or may not be aware it was my birthday last week. As you also may or may not be aware, I, inline with previous years, extended my birthday to "birthweek". Contrary to it's moniker, it is actually possible for Birthweek to run for longer than just the one week and it was certainly my intention that it do so.

Also, technically, as this year is a leapbirthweekyear, birthweek commenced a little earlier and is due to finish tomorrow, in keeping with the traditional rules.

What a birthweek it was too......far too much drinking, FAR too much sushi. Enough excess to send me into hibernation again for certain. Went to Lovebox which was great....a well organised little festival that one. Aidan and Eve took me to the Farnborough airshow too......how great is that place!

Ridiculous jets flying about trying to get as close to one another as possible......and not least......the new A380 in action.....what a fucking flying machine that thing is.

Got a great video of it taking off.

Scue Stuff

We've just gone live with our brand spanking new Scue site at www.scue.co.uk. We've got our releases up there, bio's on our artists, a swanky little blog and a new warm home for Aidan's widgets, who incidentally, deserves one big helping of credit for building the site up too.

We're also really close to our first release, Deluge, by The iNKLING. We found a designer in NZ who has helped us immeasurably with the marrying of our branding to the album artwork and other little tweaks.....It's currently with the printers, so all going well, it should be delivered via a large stalk, very early in August.

Roll on August.

Gobble Gobble

Ok, so, so much has happened since I was last here: England crashed out of the world cup unceremoniously to a blushingly theatrical Portuguese side; Australia crashed out of the world cup more than ceremoniously to a sickeningly theatrical Italian side and Zinedine Zidane nutted some Italian turkey in what was possibly the most exciting moment in the entire tournament. Apart from the cringeworthy dives and the shin clutchingly good dramatics though, a great time was had by all.

Outside the cup: we went to see the Foo Fighters; queued with the worst of them at Ascot; Simon, incomprehensibly, didn't arrive and Nadia, our new flatty, did.

Last weekend was Glade festival. Pretty much a two day Homelands with a higher Hippie count. Still enjoyed it though with no small part being played by our snap excursion to Thorpe amusement park due to Eve's stark admission that she had failed to ever board a roller coaster......Luckily help was well at hand.
