Let's Dance Just For Tonight

Tuesday nights at Magnet are just a little bit too much fun. FREE ENTRY before 11pm. FREE BOOZE from 11 til midnight. A VERY HOT DANCEFLOOR. Kids in Turbonegro t-shirts ripping it up to 50's rock 'n roll. (Which was funny because alot of people were wearing "Chuck Taylors" converse trainers on their feet -- the choice shoe for any discerning raging teen of the 1950's.) Boys swaying and girls jumping to Bloc Party, Elvis, Maximo Park...My favourite songs to dance to from the night had to be: Deceptacon, Pin, I Only Want You, Sheena is a Punkrocker, Hard to Beat, Boys Don't Cry, Michael, I Bet That You Look Good on the Dancefloor...and lots more that are buried somewhere underneath my boozy tequila brain cells. The dj cleared the floor with Goldigger -- oh well, there was more room for us. The star of the night was the boy disco dancing in his wheelchair. And also the fox we spotted loping across the tram tracks at 4am.

Richard Hawley's new songs from his new album Coles Corner are getting lots of airplay on the radio, which is fantastic. Swoon. When i get enough money, I think this album will be my first music purchase of 2006. I CANT WAIT!

There is a reason why having a radio in the kitchen and being able to tune into Radio Eins is so sacred to me right now. At the moment I have no boombox in my bedroom, so the other day when i wanted to listen to some music, i turned to my laptop. And it just died. So then i got out my cd walkman & adaptor (to conserve batteries) but oh, the plug broke. There is still a metal prong stuck in the socket somewhere. So then i found some batteries, put them into the walkman. THE EARPHONES FELL APART IN MY HAND. Someone up there...The laptop is at least working again, except the internet is completely kaput. So, i cant download anything or listen to any music online. Which is really f-ing shabby. I can't afford new earphones either.

Ok im going home now to listen to my laptop.

That's cool the Chalets are getting played on Radio Eins! I'm supposed to be interviewing them before the gig, but their manager hasn't given me the details yet! Is it really free booze between 11-12 on Tuesdays at Magnet - that's ace - I better visit it then!

I'll be in Berlin next week, but I'm leaving before deathcab,my morning jacket and cyhsy arrive. Guess I'll have to wait for the summer... Thanks for the comment:)
