Hello blog. Louis here. Just checking in to let you know updates are coming very soon, beginning with a sort of You Tube bibliography to go with my feature on Osaka noise, coming in September’s issue. I look forward to writing words upon you.

    Been awhile. Rarely go out, so there’s little to report on. Maybe the odd iTune chart, but right now that seems not very interesting. Been editing - a great games column that made me want to read more on the subject; an excellent cover feature from Melissa, parachuted into her situation with only a day’s notice; beautiful words on a disappointing M Ward show and our brand new letters page (which came about, despite an underwhelming response)…failed my driving test again, this time cos I’d been up the entire previous night suffering from food poisoning…hoping that I won’t be away when Patrik Fitzgerald plays in town soon…looking forward to Juliette And The Licks (except that their current image is crap)…happy with my MySpace page - http://www.myspace/thelegendeveretttrue - and examining all my crazy new MySpace friends….
