I just purchased pre-sale tickets for the Kings & Queens tour. ♥
By the end of this year I will have seen Jamie T live at least 3 times, that's ridiculous, I love The Maccabees far more, but it's all good.
I'm going to try and get some photos developed at the weekend. And will take a load tonight.
I am so excited!

FYI, I have no desire to ever go to Glastonbury, ever.

3 days to go.

I've just downloaded the E.P because I couldn't wait for it to come in the post. It's quite nice, but I thought there'd be more songs on it and I'm suprised that "368" - a song that was so brilliantly performed when I went to seem him earlier this year - wasn't on it, I guess he's saving those ones for the album, which is meant to be out in September.

In the meantime, he seems to be on a rise, making the homepage of The Guardian with this delightful article.

Jamie T Talks Punk and Hip-hop
I can't wait to see him, it's wonderful when you know someone from nothing. The iTunes Festival can only mean good things for him.
I disagree with this though:
"Revelations that he comes from a middle-class family in suburban Wimbledon, and for a period went to the same Surrey public school as Tim Henman, might have invited scrutiny of his authenticity."
Hardly.

I will get cracking with some work to put up here at some point, it's been very hot and I've been a bit pre-occupied.
I got going to the gym, but turns out I have to do some safety regulations rather than just being able to go along with my sister, and I'm not paying £120 for 3 months when I'm not even here for that long. I'm going to start trampolining, by Lord the gym was painful though. I am joining one properly in the next uni year, and going to a pay as you go one when I next get to Dorking. I will be fit as a fiddle.

I kind of want to start looking for jobs within the Photography field, I feel a bit useless at the moment. Even shadowing a wedding photographer for no money would be good right now.

CORRECTION: New album out in August, Kings & Queens ♥

Give me more patience.

Damn you, Chinese gene!

I wish to have curly hair always but I cannot. It's probably the only thing left that annoys me about being half Chinese. I don't care how shallow this is.
I now have dream hair ♥

I am also looking forward to Jamie T more than ever, did I mention I won free iTunes Fest tickets in the end? Harrrh, I did, and so did my sister, so we have four, we are taking Moon and his brother and it will be a blast, the support is rubbish but will be worth it to dance to Sticks and Stones and others.. and be on TV. Can't believe we both won, it's so awesome. I've known for days, but I forgot I had no internets when I found out.
So now you're in the know.
He has a nice new track - EP out Monday yo.

JM.

My mum mourns Michael Jackson, at least she's upset about it, this makes me feel a little bit sad about the whole thing.

Imagine an artist being around the whole time you've been able to experience music properly, and then suddenly they're gone after all the amazing things they've accomplished.

I'm just happy to appreciate him enough to not be crap about it...

I hope we don't feel like this about Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers in 50 years time...

Also, the programme Channel 4 threw together full of his video was tosh, they could have done a better job by at least showing Thriller properly, and he did way more than 5 good videos. I may even write a complaint. I wasn't even feeling that much allegiance to him before but Channel 4 has made me angry.

Full 13 minute version of Thriller

I am getting my hair cut tomorrow.
