Hello, nice to see you. How are you? Good? How lovely. I'll be on my way now then.

Sometimes its nice to read things that actually seem like a real person is saying them, rather than things that have just been edited to the point of being so watery and bland you can't find the opinion behind them. So that's the way I'm going with this blog. To the point. Sometimes amusingly so. Sometimes not. You'll have to judge for yourself, won't you?

Stuff and things that have happened which I have not talked about and am being pestered to do so.

Good news. In fact, AMAZING news. My favourite band, (well joint favourite, with Nirvana) Red Hot Chili Peppers, just so happen to be releasing a brand new album *squeal* and with that album, comes a UK tour! *major squeal*. And this just so happens to be so good, because I have managed to get my mitts on a ticket for their gig at the O2!! Oh the instifleable excitement. Feel free to scream in jealousy, I don't mind, I understand your pain.


And guess what. I have some MORE juicy news for you. Today, I just so happen to have acquired 3 new guitars, and an Vox AC30 amp which is coming on sunday, all from my marvellous uncle who is a musical genius, a self taught guitarist, and generally my favourite uncle (shhh.). So a while back he moved to Greece, and left alot of his instruments at my Granny's house. Me being unaware of these instruments, I asked him for some advice about guitars and then BOOM. He says I can take care of all of these guitars, which include a steel-strung acoustic, a steel-strung acoustic with cutaway and pickup and a bass. Oh, and did I mention that this particular amp is one to have been used by the Stranglers themselves! Oh the privilege. Oh the honour. 


So, as you can see all that is going to keep me busy for a while, which is good because I have had to postpone my plans with friends to visit Camden Market (favourite place in the world) due to those freaking rioters. Yeah, I'm not such a happy bunny about that. I think they are just chavs taking an opportunity to be arseholes and think they can get away with it. Well, they can't.

Yes, its the chilis with their brand new single, with new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. Although he will NEVER be able to fill the void left by John Frusciante, he is very good and really shows that off in this amazing track, its been stuck in my head for days. And, through the power of the internet, I give you the actual video, so all you have to do is press play. Oh I spoil you.
