Glastonbury

A strange, emotional week, culminating with Blur's set at the Somerset festival. Was offered the chance to cover the festival for our Sunday newspaper. I'd never been before so left work at 2pm on Friday and drove there, very fast down the motorway (who knew a Skoda could get to 90). Neil Young was incredible; I sadly had to watch Blur on telly. After they finished, I felt like crying.

Phoenix

Interview with @wearephoenix Thomas Mars from LA and Deck D'Arcy via phone. Mars's gig was cancelled after he had a throat infection.

Joe Goddard/Hot Chip

Spoke to Joe Goddard from @hot_chip on the phone briefly about what they're up to.  The interview also ran on Drowned in Sound (@DrownedinSound).

House of God

A great short film made by a couple of my friends. YouTube have nixed the Talking Heads track so hopefully this will work a little better.

Thatcher

Just interviewed lots of people -- guitarist from The Specials, former Falklands hostage, Tim Bell, John Lloyd, Poll Tax rioter -- to mark 30 years since Maggie. 

Crofting

Spent a day on the magnificent Isle of Skye last month; was very lucky with the weather. Wrote something about Scotland's beleaguered crofting community.
