Punky Brewster is my god-dog. He belongs to my friend Jazz and he's been in lots of things like the cover of my EP and two of our videos. He looks like a black hole and he goes mental whenever Jazz leaves the room. When she goes to the toilet he sits outside whimpering and staring at the door till she comes out. When someone goes near her he barks like crazy and he is always trying to get her attention. I diagnosed him today with an Oedipus complex. I also think he might have watched the video from the Ring cause seriously - where is his face?
In these pictures: Punky loves mommy...

The stars of the video were Bob, my flatmate, and Mana, my friend Marcus' baby. Me and Bob hadn't seen Marcus since he moved to Thailand about three years ago and at some point he got married and had a kid. The three of us used to live in a tiny village called Steep and now Mana is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life, so the whole thing was very moving. Bob got broody and I had to explain him that if I woke up tomorrow with a baby in our house I would call the police. He is sad that we can't get a cat cause we live on the top floor. We says can get an Aids cat cause they don't go outside but I don't want one. It's a constant bone of contention.
Seriously though, look how cute Mana is. He didn't cry once the entire day. And even though he had a bag full of toys he spent the whole day trying to eat the Playstation.
In these pictures: Mana, stop being the best

Will lent us his house for the video, and he drew us a Calvin and Hobbes. He's pretty good at drawing. Look at the Star Wars characters he drew when he was like 16.

The day after Reading I went to Edinburgh on my own. The gig had been offered to us last minute and the band had chosen to stay in the Apocalypse. I was going to post a whole bunch of photos from the gig but then I saw this awesome sign, and truly there is no point in any other photo in the world ever. Watch out little Asian, there's store detectives and CCTV cameras everywhere.
Photos: We've got our eyes on you, oops, Jay from Kate Nash is dyslexic and he thought it said chinki chinki.

When I was 17 I had one of the worst experiences of my life at Reading festival. This was my first time back and I took great pains to only be there for about three hours. The others camped for the night, and at midnight I got a text from Ricky saying that the bins were on fire and it felt like the Apocalypse. This was still better than what happened to me at Reading. Don't do drugs kids.

On Euan's birthday weekend we played three festivals in three days, and we had a van party, a house party and a tent party. Now we're all partied out. This is the van party, which took place after the greatest gig I ever saw. Evan Dando - I GET SO DOWN ABOUT IT - we love you! (i like the way you can hear franny shouting 'if i die, it's been worth it' in one of the videos)
Pictures (blurry cause stupid party kept moving) - and we all go, hand in hand, parklife
Videos - buzzcocks/ this is where it all began

We travelled to Glastonbury with Eugene McGuinness, who shared with us idea for Godfather 4. Not sure he had given it much thought past the fact that it was one up from 3 and therefore called 4. His gig was really really good, even if Glastonbury printed that it was the next day in the programme. His tent was also good, we went paddling in it the day after he pitched it. Of course, most people don't buy their tent in a motorway service station fifty miles from the site, and don't arrive at Glastonbury with a guitar and a plastic bag with an apple and spare pair of shoes in it.
In these pictures: If your tent costs more than 6.99, it may last the night; lady from his rider; Eugene gets bestial
