ADMIT ADMIT YOU'RE SHIT YOU'RE SHIT!

It has come to my attention that although this blog is titled PUNK FUCKEN ROCK so far there has been not a lot of actual punk fucken rock featured. So here is my rectify! Buzzcocks are probably not as famous as The Sex Pistols or The Clash or The Ramones, but personally I like them better. Maybe it's because while yeah, it's 70's punk(or in this case, early 80's), it's also damn good pop music. So here are some trax from my favourite Buzzcocks album at the moment, A Different Kind of Tension.
Also, Pete Shelly is a Fucking Champ.

More actual punk rock will come eventually, I'm sure..

Buzzcocks - Sitting Round at Home
Buzzcocks - I Don't Know What to Do With My Life
Buzzcocks - I Believe

I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November!

I bought a bottle of wine yesterday, just because it was called "Arrogant Frog." It had won some award, or at least had a flashy sticker with something or other in french that I am assuming was an award. It didn't taste that great, I think. I'm not into wine that much. The point of this is that it reminded me of The National's song called All The Wine. I once was in the same city as The National and missed out on seeing them because I forgot to buy a ticket. This has happened to me several times, most recently with Parklife festival which will feature the likes of Peaches, Dizzee Rascal and Does it Offend You, Yeah? OH WELL.

So now I'm kind of in a nostalgia funk. I am kind of looking forward to going back to New Zealand at the end of the year but at the same time I know that when I get there I will want to come back. The National are good music for this. They are such a classy band. The video for Apartment Story which shows them playing at a Wedding is one of the greatest ideas ever for a music video because it suits the music so well.

LESSON OF THE BLOGPOST: don't put off buying tickets! I have a ticket to see The Faint in September, which is kind of exciting!
