February is the worst month. Mostly because it's grey and mizzly and dire and everyone's tired of winter but it still hasn't started to be spring and it's still dark and cold and depressing but also in small part because I have a birthday and notice how old I am. For some reason being 28 was so close to being 30 that I kind of thought of it as being 29, so hopefully this will just be another year of being 29 as far as my brain is concerned.
Meanwhile last month ended in a satisfactory way, we rocked in Kensington last Thursday (and shared the bill with an absolutely outstanding performer in the form of Justin Sandercoe) and although February will be quiet there is a lot to look forward to after.
In fact this year has lots of things to look forward to- new records from British Sea Power and Tom McRae among others and a new Mark Chadbourn book and that's just in the next few months. I also discovered yesterday that Neverland, the unsigned derby-based mandolin-rock band responsible for one of the best albums I own have reformed. This has made me very happy.
In other news, fear the l33t power of the 17 metre bamboo moxon!!!
Off to be a ninja now, if I don't turn out to be too sleepy for the job.
