why is life unfair

It's not really. Life, unfair I mean. It's actually really good. Dream job, great flat in north london, not alone as I trundle on and for god's sake I'm even off to SXSW this year (oh yes). So what could it be then you ask? What could possibly make me sulk, bottom lip stuck out, evil eyes staring at my computer screen, toes clenched up at the unfairness of it all.

The answer would be this:


(c/o Muzzle Of Bees, and I'm guessing the official Coachella site if I could ever get it to work)

Now I've never really been attracted to Coachella, not even as one who has friends that go every year and tirelessly preach about just how bloody great it really is and just what I miss out on each and every year. But this time... well let's just say that this year I'd better not get the same lecture or I may have to punch said friends in their respective cakeholes. Grr. Arcade Fire? Sparklehorse? Jarvis? Gogol Bordello? Bjork...?

Stupid Atlantic Ocean.

And yes, the more observant of you will have noticed that none other than Rage Against The Machine are playing - now apparently reformed, but surely not for once festival alone? Who knows.

Well I'm going to SXSW so na na ne na na.

If you now need a soothing, calming environment, then perhaphs visit MySpace and pick up some soft Scandinavian pop shoegaze in the form of Mixtapes And Cellmates. The Swedish collective are soon to release their first album - due any time now so we're informed! If their debut EP, If There Is Silence, Fill It With Longing, is anything to go by, it should be a warm pop fuzz delight immediately conjuring up images of snow coated mountains, ice melting by the sun up in the blue, blue sky. Aw.
