link?
what bit?
is that that woman that was in the paper
cuz she lives in a squat.

no we didn't!
tell us? google is useless
uh
pretty, pretty sure that they're still together and that that's a joke
Field Day seems ok
not on the list (Aug 9 innit)
*Standon
Mystery jets were one of the biggest acts booked for that festival weren't they. I'm surprised it's not been cancelled yet. Only 24 people have added it to their lastfm events...
standon
i'm going to standon tomorrow. bit of a shame they can't make - but it sounds like a really organised event if the emails i've received are anything to go by so it should be able to cope with late loss of headliner. also, i don't think punters will go banging on the door a la WITC since this is a far more forgivable cancellation - I just hope Blaine will be ok for Field Day
What did his ex do
in Vice?
was that his ex?!
Some girl just wrote a piece on finding out your boyfriend is gay and talking about the things she found 'said boy doing' like crying & wearing her make-up. Was pretty naff to be fair. There was a picture of blaine at the top of the article but I didn't make the connection.
she is a massive london scene twat though.

That's not his ex, that's his girlfriend. It was tongue in cheek.
They're a lovely couple.
Article here - it's hardly offensive to him.

Hope he gets well soon.
Quite looking forward to seeing these guys at Leeds.
Reading is still ok
Phew. I hope he feels a little better soon!

Field Day and Underage fest
Yeah I know.
VICE
Re: The Vice article - it's not about him, they just used a photo of his face for an article called 'my boyfriend is gay' on account of him looking, well, a bit gay.
I don't think he was that bothered though.
