I've been doodling again. Which male popstar do you think this is?

Owling with owl hair...

It's all the rage apparently - so here I am boarding the bandwagon. I feel like I have to take part particularly because of my reputation for having 'Owl hair'.

A small child then decided he wanted a photograph done with this freak on top of a poll:

It was harder than you think to get up there. I think the ultimate 'owling' situation would be on top of a real owl. 
P.S I may or may not have edited the child's face.

These are a few of my favourite things...

Hi there...Hope all is well with you. A few bits to update you on...

The Robyn video parody is here to enjoy...

This weekend, I went back to my old University (The University of East Anglia in Norwich) and did a little DJ set for their Graduation Ball. It was a pretty incredible night - it was 4 years pretty much to the day that I left there and it was a pleasure to go back. I played 'Fix You' at the end. Not a dry eye in the house.

Then rushed back to London to watch England v. India at Lords:

I then went shopping and saw some bananas

I then went to a festival at Clapham Common which provided everyone with free ice cream and one of my favourite bands...So good to see them again. They announced they're working on a new album too! Yeeees.

During our show meeting this morning, I was doodling and came up with this. We think it looks like a certain female popstar...But who do you think?

The Bumdance...A response.

Now then. The Bumdance has spread very nicely now which I'm unashamedly proud of. I was danced at this weekend at T in The Park by some people, been shouted at to 'DO THE BUMDANCE' at a gig and now...what a delight to come into work and see this in my inbox.

Thank you so much to Tom and Luke for doing their very own tribute to 'The Bumdance'. This is an AMAZING effort.

Scottish is...

T in The Park this weekend! Vey excited to go along. It's my first time at the festival and I'll be doing some of the BBC Three coverage with Edith and Reggie. Huw Stephens will be live from the site on Radio 1 Saturday and Sunday from 1pm as well. It'll be a goodun. 

What is Scottish?...This has been inspired by you lovely lot who sent in your answers to this question:

Now what?

Big Weekend, Wimbledon, Glastonbury, holiday - DONE. And only half way through the summer...

So far so good. Getting a new kitchen done as well. It's all very rock and roll.

Anyway, hope all is well with you lovely people? Glastonbury was a ridiculously busy weekend but an absolute dream to be part of the tele coverage of it. You may have seen me messing around the site meeting a load of people in the deepest, darkest bits of the festival...It was quite muddy by the way. This is Ryan, the sound recordist with his big boom mic. BOOM.

A truly brilliant weekend, however guess which idiot who forgot to pack shorts? Yeaaaah, no big deal wondering around with my jeans stuck to my legs. A bit like Ross in Friends when he got those leather trousers stuck on.

Anyway, highlights for me: Mumford absolutely nailed their set, Wombats brilliant live as ever, Friendly Fires were perfect with the sun-setting, Tinie Tempah would have blown the roof off if there was one and Coldplay played the gig of their life - it was insane - I watched my favourite band from my teenage years, side of stage, on a hot night, at the world's most famous festival. I literally couldn't have been happier. What a sap. 

Set list:

I saw this chap too:

So that was that. Pretty much. It was a delight - just a shame it's not on next year. Then I escaped the country and sat in the sun for a few days. I am refreshed, relaxed and ready for the rest of the summer...Next stop - T in The Park. THIS WEEKEND.
