Summer's here...where the f*ck have you been?

No complaints at the weather and only warms the anticipation of summer festivals and holidays. Still holding out from buying Global Gathering tickets as they refuse to offer Friday only tickets yet. I'm pretty sure everyone else is holding their wallets and breath so they can see Daft Punk without the camping fiasco. Wireless is the only commited festival so far though I can't believe they have Massive Attack and DJ Shadow headlining on separate stages. If they are on at the same time, Shadow be thy name as we've seen the Attack twice. First time was with their Mezzanine album and the majority of the band still together. Second time was a minor disaster thanks to an ex-friend making us wait, missing the first half of the performance. Haven't really spoke to her since.

More sunny news is that we've booked our Ibiza holiday for late August. As well as staying at Casa de Cheese Spinner, we're looking to stay on the smaller island of Formentera for a couple of days. Accommodation is proving to be a little tricky ranging from family blot-on-the-landscapes to exclusive hedonistic retreats which cost a bomb. Most of them look like they don't offer anything less than a weeks stay. Otherwise we might have to book the old fashioned way and phone them which will be weird.

Have been getting re-aquainted with an old friend called Vice Magazine. Its available in Fopp shops and its free. As well as the cruel but funny Do's and Don't's of fashion, this month is a comic special. Some great, original comic strips including Pete Fowler's Monsterism, Peter Crumb and Mad mag legend Al Jaffee. Picture from Dennis Worden strip. A real Nathan Barley-like must have.

Tomorrow we're off to Brighton to see the sandcastles.

Feck! Just discovered I've forgotten my lunch!
