You are my target audience

It's been a slow month. I have'nt had the enthusiasm to write anything at all. I've been thinking about who to interview next and while I have plenty of people i'd like to hear from, I just cant think what i'd like to extract from them. I apologise sincerely to anyone who bothers to read my ramblings.

Ps. I kinda have a thing for girls in Indie bands.

...

Summer 09/10 will soon be just a distant memory for the nostalgic in all of us. You can definately feel a difference in the air, the sun is lower in the sky and soon autumn reds will litter the trees as winter makes it's approach. As usual the best time of year for waves begins. After summer was a blur of onshore's, flat days and for some, a few nasty bluebottle stings. It's a welcome relief. I don't think I had many standout sessions this summer at all, and aside from that rather large south swell mid Jan and a few days of big junky mush from the East in Feb, there wasn't much to get excited about.
I Began full time work for the first time in almost 4 years on Monday, scary, I know. But for whatever reason, it is nice to have a steady pay check and do something I thoroughly enjoy day in/day out.
I'm working at getting some real good interviews up soon, I promise!
Mawds of Break Even fame agreed to do one for me just before they jet off for their second tour of Europe this May and I'm also hoping I can squeeze some answers out of some of my favourite lesser known bands from the States too.
Stay tuned.
