Singles Round-up (21/04/08)
damnit there are way too many good gigs on the 28th
and i already have tickets for one (Efterklang). also Los Camp are playing that night, and something else too i'm sure.
they're better than tubelord like
they even sound like their own band
shame boro's such an awkward trek from mine
Sweet, I get back to York on the 9th I think
Still love this band.
