I've Lived On A Dirt Road All My Life

It seems like an age since I've been on the Internet but, at the same time, the past week has just flown by. It began with three shows in three nights - Battles/My Disco, Front End Loader (talk about piggy in the middle!) and M.I.A. - with some TiNA-related madness somewhere in the middle, and a heap of travelling. I presently find myself in Orange where I've had the chance to reclaim my thoughts and heal my body.

Now, I thought I'd post my playlist from Noise Annoys last Thursday, just to keep yezall in the loop.

• Battles – B+T [from EP C/B EP, 2006]
• James Dean – In The Hospital [James Dean CD-R, 2007]

And yes, despite it being possibly the worst show evah, from next week I will be returning to a regular slot of Monday 4-5pm - with a strict no longnecks policy...

Please people, stay tuned because this week is going to throw up some seriously good blogging. I can feel it.
