I like the way people feel the need to assure you that they do actually hate Fox News when reblogging that guy from Fox News slagging off that guy who beat his girlfriend up or whatever.
It’s like hey read this it’s really funny, don’t worry though I do hate Fox News, this is just a one off.
Anonymous asked: I remember you saying somewhere once that you taught yourself piano. I'm trying to self-teach piano right now, do you have any tips on how to know what fingering to use?

deathsy asked: That anti-X Factor listening to an ace album thing is the best idea ever, do it, do it, do it! :D
Anonymous asked: What would your tips be to someone who's played guitar for a couple of years self taught but has never really learned many solos or many scales apart from pentatonic?
Anonymous asked: How did your family feel when you decided that mathsy things were not something you actually wanted to do? And has their opinion changed after hearing how you've progressed in musical terms over the past however many years? =)

A thing we should do!
Apparently X Factor has started again… I know this because twitter gets swamped with bullshit whenever it’s on. Towards the end of the last series I thought of something that might be a nice way to help ignore said bullshit:
Basically I was gonna start an open, online listening club where each week, during the time X Factor is on we listen to a really fucking good album. We could all...

johnny durham is a massive twat!
Wow… look at the notes! I can’t believe almost 3 million people hate me that much! D:
Awww, poor Johnny. I still love you. xx
While recovering from the stress-bomb slash lack-of-sleep-a-thon that was Summer in the City, I have spent pretty much this entire week watching Arrested Development.
That is all and I regret nothing.
nineteendragonflies asked: More music from Blue Skies please? :)
Anonymous asked: I know that it's probably a bit mad to ask this early, but do you have a general idea what dates Summer in the City might be next year, or if it'll even be on? I'm planning to visit London, and it'd be one of the main highlights so I wanted to know around when I should plan my trip for.

Meteor shower
Last night I dreamt I saw an incredible meteor shower… So incredible that it was totally unrealistic, but that kind of thing doesn’t matter in dream land. It looked like Starry Night but with movement. Definitely the best dream I can remember.

dormeurduval replied to your post: List some of your favourite bands? And did you win NextUp?
I have dorky taste in music and we have almost 0 compatibility (I wasn’t the anon by the way), but would you mind if I added you? I see you like Jeffrey Lewis; I’ve seen his stuff on youtube and he’s playing in Beijing when I arrive. Should I go?
Haha, sure. Anyone can add me.
You should definitely go...

Anonymous asked: Me and my Dad have the same musical taste. So he was looking through my itunes to see if I had anything he hadn't got on his computer, and he asked me "Who is this blue skies?!" And so I played him some of your music, now he's hooked.
oversetting asked: If I order your Winter album now will I still get a hand-drawn cover?
