Me me me

26 March 2008

Time for a quick ‘me’ update – I know how you all like to keep track with what I’m doing…

Most excitingly, I’m going to be talking on a panel at this years Great Escape Festival in May. Held in sunny Brighton and featuring all sorts of bands like Vampire Weekend, Friendly Fires, The Futureheads and many more it should be good fun. I’m going to be rambling on about MP3 blogs and promo MP3s, which should be quite interesting – if any of you reading come along to the conference bit stop by and say hello.

In quite-small-but-just-about-worth-mentioning other news if any of you UK readers bought the new Raconteurs album from the Raconteurs web site you’ll have seen a bit of my work as I designed the thing. Luckily I didn’t have to build it (some lovely people based in Reading did a wonderful job of making it work) but it was still all a bit of a tight squeeze getting it all together in time.

On the photography front it’s gone a little quiet, mostly due to my utter rubbish-ness at going to gigs of late which makes it a little difficult to take photos at them. However, that hasn’t stopped some of my older pics doing the rounds and this month you can see one of my Vampire Weekend photos in the current issue of The Word (near the back in the tour preview bit).

I think that’s about it for the time being, although next week (Tuesday in particular) should be really incredibly exciting – you’ll know what I’m talking about when you see it…

Oh, and before I forget – if any of you hip and trendy kids in London don’t have anything planned on Friday evening come on down to The Teenagers prom – it promises to be great fun. It’s technically under 18s only, but if you’re old (like me) I can probably squeeze you in if you drop me a line…
