Ok so Two weeks in Japan = two months of no posts. Erm, what can I say?
If we were dating, and I didn't call you for two months, you'd have dumped me by now. And I wouldn't blame you. Not one bit.
But please re-consider. Think of all the good times we had. The top 10 list for 2007? The top 15 list for 2008? That's right, this year, it'll be a top 20!
So where have I been I hear you ask? Erm. Busy. Job-hunting and general maintenance of a thoroughly offline nature mean I've not had 5 mexican minutes to write anything for this blog. But I've figured a solution.
Rather than pretending to be some big-shot music blog, looking to be the next Pitchfork or Drowned In Sound, it is simply becoming a personal stash of music I'm enjoying or have enjoyed.
On that note, I've been listening to Indie-folk. I put this down to becoming
a) older
ii) more positive
3) more annoying
four) all of the above
E) mexican
So two lovely indie-folk bands to listen to. The first is All The Fires from Falmouth, whom I saw at the Hope and Anchor in Islington with my girlfriend and some of her workmates. Alongside them (and far inferior) were a band that needed to be told that the 90s were over, and a generic metal band. They're pretty cool and I'm seconds away from ordering their EP.

Secondly, its London-based and Pavement/Ugly Cassanova inspired (tick, tick, tick) group Lofty Heights. Eye Contact is out on 7" now.
