Sometimes I wonder if it isn’t all a little too easy for fans these days. I mean pre-internet when everything was so inaccesible, it would be really exciting to get your hands on a new record from your favourite band or hear their song on the radio… Now you can go to my website and hear every song I’ve ever released, see a bunch of pictures and videos, get all my lyrics and...

When the toothpaste is almost finished and you’re having to squeeze with all your might to get anything out and there’s a new tube ready and waiting to be opened, whoever gives up and opens the new one loses, right?
Or am I the only one who plays this game?

leboheme asked: Hey, i was wondering... If SOPA really works (i hope not and i dont think it will), it will be really good for the idependent music, dont you think? I mean, here in brazil, people dont buy cds anymore and i have never hear someone saying that brought mp3 musics. If the idependent musicians do the musics for free, they will have a lot more downloads for that... And talking about your free covers...

Have a tab open with Charlie’s new video on it. It has no comments and 3 views. I don’t want to close it because it’s so rare… I feel like it should be worth something.

Ha!
My cover of Seven Nation Army has been downloaded 29992 times. About 28000 of those must have found it via Google and thought it was the actual White Stripes version. This is something I didn’t consider when I started using mediafire - didn’t really occur to me that people would find them without being linked directly so I didn’t put ‘cover’ in the file name.

I lost 724 subs in YouTube’s dead account cull. Surprised it wasn’t more, they must have to be untouched for like two years to be considered dead. So I’ll have to come up with another reason for the remaining 27,000 subscribers that don’t watch anymore!
Gonna stop answering these things now because it annoys me when other people do it this much. Goodnight! x
Anonymous asked: Okay you obviously think that I'm a creep now , anyway do you like Noel Gallagher's new album ? :)
kconheady asked: seeing as though you get so many cover requests, i don't want to add on to the list. i would, however, in a completely innocent and non suggesting manner, like to say that you should cover songs you really like. and since you posted holland 1945, it seems to me that you really like neutral milk hotel....

johnnydurham replied to your video: What a sound!
Whoa, I’m scrolling through tumblr whilst listening to In The Aeroplane Over The Sea on itunes, and I’m 2 tracks shy of this very song playing! Spooky. It’s such an amazing album.
Johnny we’re made for each other. Why haven’t I seen you in a million years?

I don’t understand this ‘fan mail’. How is it different to the messaging system already in place?
Anonymous asked: Selling Alcohol? That hasn't happened before in Sitc. Wouldn't it be a bad idea, seeing there are not many venues which permit under 18s in and sell alcohol as well as people could rink a little too much? By the way, thanks for taking time to organise Sitc. On behalf of everyone I'd like to let you know how much we REALLY appreciate it. Also, your a very talented musician :D
Anonymous asked: We, as Gen Y/Z, should organize a subtle, non-violent coup, to prevent growing further divided. Seeing as we are the ones who will be inheriting the world's problems, we need to prevent propagating past conflicts, and remodel the future according to our highest ideals. We can't let those in control convince us we are powerless! It is through the idea of controlling us that the elite...

Best dream ever right, was with a couple of friends and family members and we had a ship, like a fucking pirate ship! We went to Brasil because why not? We became bounty hunters to make a bit of money and we did some other shit and all the locals fucking loved us and when we left to be home in time for Christmas they all gathered on the dock waving and cheering and crying.
It was ace.
