		<title>Ice, ice, baby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So &#8211; visited Iceland.  Iceland was nice.  Did some stuff, saw some stuff &#8211; will think about updating photos/etc some day.  The best description I could come up for it was that it is New Zealand &#8211; but somebody else&#8217;s New Zealand.  In that &#8211; driving around, it&#8217;s all beautiful and stuff &#8211; but this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chaos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks where I should really have remembered the concept of a list.  I like lists.  In fact, I really like lists.  But recently I&#8217;ve had so much I need to do/organise &#8211; that I never got around to making a list of it &#8211; so nothing&#8217;s been done/organised. First up &#8211; a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Splurge!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, after a month or two of feeling like everything I touched turned to the brown stuff &#8211; I finally cracked and panicked&#8230; trying to use money to buy happiness.  Apparently &#8220;Money can&#8217;t buy happiness&#8221;.  Bollocks.  I went out (or rather &#8211; sat at my laptop) &#8211; spent a whole heap of money, and am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farewell Winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spring. But first, I&#8217;ll wrap up winter.  So &#8211; it&#8217;s been over a month since I wrote anything.  I think I got over that little period of ridiculous gig-attendance, and just collapsed.  But I&#8217;ve been gradually getting back into the swing of things. Rodrigo y Gabriela &#8211; a him &#38; her of ridiculously talented guitarists.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>11 days, 11 gigs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Right &#8211; so after the &#8220;multimedia orchestral-rock song cycle&#8221; The Long Count, in which I fell asleep &#8211; I saw another 10 gigs over the subsequent 10 nights.  I&#8217;ll try to recap some of that. Friday 03rd &#8211; Eugene McGuinness, Francois &#38; the Atlas Mountains, Trailer Trash Tracys.  Francois &#38; the Atlas Mountains were very [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warm-up Gigs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, a few gigs over the last week or two &#8211; warming up to what is about to be a marathon of them. First off &#8211; Bonnie &#8216;Prince&#8217; Billy at the Hackney Empire.  There had been a company meeting, followed by some drinks (including whisky tasting) earlier in the evening &#8211; and when I arrived [...]]]></description>

		<title>2012 &#8211; off and running (or skiing)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Right &#8211; been too busy and lazy and sick to write for a while, so now I just have to skim over it all. First gig of the year &#8211; Ani DiFranco at the Union Chapel.  Cool gig, talented lady &#8211; did an improvised song with a crowd member playing guitar for her &#8211; after [...]]]></description>

		<title>2011 &#8211; done.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So &#8211; another year gone.  A year in which I spent a stupid amount of money on rent, visited the southern hemisphere twice, successfully got myself littler, saw a whole heap of live music, and not much else.  40 gigs, according to my records &#8211; not including festivals.  And all but one of those were [...]]]></description>

		<title>2011&#8230; nearly over&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well &#8211; December has pretty much turned into just treading water, waiting for the New Year &#8211; which will hopefully provide enough symbolic &#8216;new beginnings&#8217; to provide an impetus to get moving again.  Not sure if that makes sense to anybody &#8211; but I have talked to a few people who agree&#8230; we&#8217;ve had enough [...]]]></description>

		<title>Post-Hungover Babble</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Right &#8211; so after I foolishly did a hungover-still-slightly-drunk edit to last week&#8217;s post, I&#8217;ll try to make up for that with an ultra boring sensible post.  &#8220;Try&#8221; being the key word there. Firstly &#8211; the one gig I made it to in the last week or so.  Das Racist &#8211; some alternative hip-hop.  If [...]]]></description>
