from writing for my local paper as a music columnist to wondering whether they'll ever print anything else from me ever again
from having good relations with my editor at glasswerk, to having a blooming amazing understanding with her successor only for him to leave and all and any glasswerk activity to have dried up completely
but my last editor, in the brief time he was there, sent me some awesome stuff to review
when asked for musical preference i did wonder if i was giving him a tough time with my nit-picking and obtuse reply, but he just 'got' me
and for a lot of what he did for me, and for a lot of the music he sent me, i am grateful
and it is through my uber-wunderful ex-editor that i have attained one of my own personal goals
yup, if you look hard enough, you shall find me on wikipedia
ok, so it is nothing quite as spectacular as having an entire entry dedicated to me, listing my swimming awards (yellow and green), my achievements (good at Creep and This Charming Man on Singstar) and my allegiances (Monster Munch Fan Club and Dennis The Menace Fan Club) but it is still pretty amazing to think that somehow i have made a contribution to the world that was considered worthy of record on the ever-growing, ever-expanding and ever-omnipotent wikipedia
what it is in fact is my opinion on a contribution to the world that was considered worthy of record on the ever-growing, ever-blah blah blah wikipedia
heck, this is an awfully long winded way of saying that if you read the wiki-entry for Crystal Fighters 'Star Of Love' album and keep on reading into the sub-category dedicated to opinions on the Deluxe version of the album, you will find my name, and a quote from my glasswerk review, that sounding out of context sounds rather negative
it sounds rather negative because it is preceded by this introduction...
'Various other reviewers have, however, commented on the re-release in a somewhat more negative light.'
argh
ok, let me clarify
i bloody love the album
it is amazing
i bloody love Crystal Fighters
they are amazing
what i am less fond of tho are pointless money-suckling re-releases that slap a bit of extra fodder onto an album
but you know what, the extra tracks are still bloomin' amazin'
and i got sent the album for free, so i didn't have to pay for it!
honestly, i'm full of positivity, i reject negativity
my real issue is the 'tacking on' of extra tracks, no matter how great they are, that are simply added on a whim in order to add extra time to an album's natural lifespan, and piss off those that bothered to shell out for it the first time round
all this is kind of by the by
and a little outdated
and a little rambling

hey, my name's on wikipedia!!
