{ && runnin' on my mind }

so many people, mate. it’s mad. there was, like, little mix, bruno mars, & kevin abstract all in one day, & probably another ten that week through. so far though, i’ve only gotten around to adding emeli to my list. is it really ?? i’d heard it was actually the worst album ever released, but that could just be my sources.

ahh, it’s much more nerve-wracking picking for somebody else over yourself. cos if i choose badly & it’s just me, only i’ve gotta know, but if i choose badly for you, you’ll think i’ve got bad taste. uhm... okay, i can do this. have you listened to solange’s new album yet ? cos if not, you really ought to. or twenty88. that one’s not as new, but you should give it a listen if you haven’t yet. & if you’ve listened to both of those, this kid kevin abstract’s just put out this album american boyfriend that’s proper sick.

what direction you planning on going in ? i think a good little country album’d suit you.

i’d highly agree with you there, mate. i’d finally gotten the chance to give it a listen & honestly, i dunno what i was expecting cos bruno always brings it. chunky’s my anthem at the moment.

ooh, are they the ones that sing 24k magic ?? i love that song ! they must be real talented to put out somethin’ like that. -- is there a blonde one ? i’d only heard about the other three...

yeah, yeah, some album’s’re like, you’ve gotta give them the Time they deserve. i know i’ll definitely have to go back & listen over again to quite a few so i can get the full effects. loads of people’ve thought the same thing, from what i’ve heard, but i dunno, i think they’re just different ? i don’t think even the difference between endless & blonde make one better than the other. but that’s just me. i’m also a complete fool for personal albums, & he’d said blonde was particularly personal, so that could be why it’s stuck so much.

that’d be a good idea ‘f i was ever stuck between certain songs, but i’m not sure it works the same with albums, least not all of them. some’ve got them, like, themes to them so they don’t work the same out of order, y’know? maybe i’ll petition for itunes to add in a shuffle album option.

i’m pretty sure there were about... at least four. but i hadn’t caught up on quite a few from the past couple weeks either so i’d ended up listening to, like, seven or eight albums through that day. most the Time i only end up remembering when things come out on messages from itunes, even my own stuff, honest.

i’d consider it, if you pay me enough. or if you bring over chinese first. that’s always good currency, especially for music.

i’ve gotta, like, go out in the middle of nowhere to make it good though, haven’t i? maybe i’ll take a page outta your book, ‘n’ go camping. watch me come back a couple weeks later all proper nature man. be petitioning for me own survivor show. yeah, i get that. ‘s kinda mad too, like when you’ve gotten too deep in cos then you get hit with thinkin’ how tiny we all are in comparison to everything.

if i did, it must’ve gone into me spam folder. don’t be disappointed ! i’m working hard to get something out, promise. but i wanna make sure i’m doing it right. i would pay frank to adopt me.

actually, i don’t think i have ?? you think you could tell me a bit more about them ? maybe it’d jog my memory.
