although I'm still not entirely sure what it means. The internet tells me it's something to do with art and the process of "dry transfer lettering used to create artwork". I heard it in an Arctic Monkeys song anyway, from their new album of course - there aren't many confusing words in the previous two. Alex Turner is one of my favourite song writers along with Bruce Springsteen and Pete Doherty. A lot of people were quick to turn their noses up at Humbug, simply because it didn't have the in-your-face, aggressive indie rock sound. But when you dissect the album and take a proper listen to the tracks like Pretty Visitors, you see it's still there, only with a much better and more complex book of lyrics.
I'm eagerly awaiting their new album anyway, which NME informed me is going to be James Ford (Worked with Florence and the Machine I think, among others) produced. Because, if this is released soon, it puts incredible force behind the rumours of them headlining V Fest! That's enough about that.
Moving on, here's a picture of what has been on my mind the past few days.
Not Trace Cyrus unfortunately, but tattoos. I'm approaching 18 agonizingly slowly, and respecting my dads wishes like the good child I am, I've waited until now to start getting tattoos. It's hard to explain what I want to start with (my mom is paying for the first, as an 18th present), but basically it's a half sleeve on the bottom section of my left arm. On the front face I'm having scripture, which I'd prefer not disclose now, and the other side will be imagery relating to the previous. After that I'm going to plan a chest piece most probably, but I don't have a clue what I want to put there so that's going to take a while. Whilst on the topic of turning 18, one of my best friends reached manhood this week. All it's done for me is made me wish it was my birthday sooner, although it's only a couple of weeks away, it feels like I'll never be able to get out of my face legally. This month is going to be a horrible transition period considering I'm shifting money around left right and centre - mainly for the funding of next summer's recreational activities, all is well though. Everyone makes plans for the summer, but most of my friends make expensive ones and then actually carry them out, pleased I have a holiday to Laganas (Zante) sorted though! I also have V Fest 2011 sorted, and Leeds Fest 2011 is pretty much sorted (just have to get the tickets, and not get ripped off). If nothing falls through, and all of my friends make it to 18 healthily, this summer should be one to remember.

This is Luke.
This is Tim.
This is Ross.
Here is video a to finish off, this is something that personally, brings out indescribable happiness and excitement from within me. Any time I'm going out to get pissed, or even getting myself a little bit pumped for the gym, I'll play Kasabian just to recreate some of that night at V Fest. Think of it as your favourite porn clip, I get off to Kasabian (not in the same form) but I still get an incredible vibe from hearing/watching them. I can't recall any other memory that makes me feel quite like this, and it's great I guess that I have something that will instantly make me happy. I can't remember having anything remotely similar before this. It makes me wonder what other people have stored in their heads, that make them feel like that, or am I weird? I don't think so. I also wonder if those memories people have involve me, because mine involves some of my good friends - I wasn't that close to them before that weekend but I consider them now to be pretty much "best mates". Cheers for reading my blog anyway, hope you enjoy the talented guys below.
