Sad News: No GocStock!
So yes, we’ve a hung parliament. This isn’t a political blog, so I’ll just say that hopefully it bodes well for the UK, it’s people and its economy.
Moving on, in some bad, bad news for lovers of small, boutique festivals, a great one has been cancelled this (what would have been its fifth) year. Very, very sad. GocStock, a weekend I’ve enjoyed every year since its inception will no longer be going ahead. It was set to be the biggest GocStock so far, had a fantastic Jabberwocky theme in place, moved to a larger site and even had The Holloways headlining. But all that is for nothing now.
Why is GocStock much-loved? Well take a look at the below video You’ll see me on there at some point waxing lyrical (and sporting a rather nice, borrowed, beret!):
GocStock is dead, long-live GocStock! Hopefully, it will be back next year…
YouTube Pick of The Week – ‘Intro’ by The XX
Two posts in one day? I know. Crikey. Man alive my analytics are going to go haywire, but psshaw I say! psshaw!
Hope you enjoy this. For reasons best categorised under ‘random machinations of Kevin’s brain’, this track, the first off The XX excellent album ‘X’, will be forever linked for me with the UK General Election 2010. It’s probably to do with a certain channel’s political coverage that, but anyway, it’s an excellent track. Press Play. Enjoy. Simple as that.
YouTube Pick of The Week – ‘Worry About It Later’ – Brakes
It’s Wednesday. I know, I know it’s not your favourite day, but just chill for a second. Yep. Worry About It Later.
(Awesome lyrics as well as video by the way):
your card’s on the table
and the cat’s in the cradle
and your heart’s been skipping like a jumping bean
brain’s been waking in the sixth degrees
your time’s on the table
and you’re young fit and able
and your love’s been aching like an acorn tree
take a spin around oh one two three
it’s easy to blame chaos on the ones with cloaks and daggers who
push the hidden hands that hold the strings of ultimate control
when you ain’t got love
time’s ticking tables and the new towers of babel
and your heart’s been kicking in the sixth degrees
take a look around from one to see
it’s a blue sky december
it’s your turn to remember
oh your brain’s been bursting from the broken seams
take a spin around oh one two three
it’s easy to blame chaos on the ones with cloaks and daggers who
push the hidden hands that hold the strings of ultimate control
when you ain’t got love
it’s the turn of the saviors
it’s an all natural favor
and the band’s been kicking in the old kick drum
words can trickle when you start to run
and my heart’s been tazered
and my brain’s been phazered
and my feet’s been skipping like jumping beans
take a spin around oh one to sees
it’s easy to blame chaos on the ones with cloaks and daggers who
push the hidden hands that hold the strings of ultimate control
when you ain’t got love
