SANDWICH!
(via coppolaseyes)
A blog (perhaps a mature blog) about whatever I want to write about. Books, music, news and of course the occasional hilarious photo. The life of Lauren Peel confined to a social networking site. Check out www.weareunseen.co.uk for what I actually do.
Any questions?

We Reviewed The Maccabee’s New Album
I know, my new years resolution was to do more real blogging but when you spend all day indoors revising media law, you run out of things to say that are not include in the Editors code of practice.
So, We Are Unseen published a review of the Maccabees album which I thought you might like to read instead, its here http://www.weareunseen.co.uk/reviews/article.php?The-Maccabees—-Given-To-The-Wild-70
We also interviewed Twin Atlantic, which you can check out in the interviews section of the site. Have a browse…

Music Biz, Media Law and Mega Videos.
The first in a series of blogs that you probably won’t read all of, but if you do make it quite far, well done you.
Today has been a long day of revision, with 2 practice exams before midday and then actually trying to learn the hard bits after. I never really have a revision plan, just doing lots and lots of things until I know everything word by word. This means that this week, like the last, will probably be very mundane.
As usual today I did lots of thinking about the music industry. Most of you know I do music journalism in the form of www.weareunseen.co.uk (go and like it now, it has facebook, we’re having competitions for free stuff soon). Some of you know I dabble in band management and promotion. Not many of you know I occasionally play a bit of music on the side, but that’s just for fun.
Today’s thought process, as ever, was that I need a job in the music industry and I need it now so I can begin my journey on creating a hugely successful record label. To get involved somehow or help me out, I’m on lauren-peel@weareunseen.co.uk. If you have a job vacancy you need filling, I’m your go to girl. If you want to be a writer/photographer/artist for a music webzine that I will make into the new, better Kerrang, also email me there.
Speaking of band management, I used to (and soon probably will be) managing a band called Decode, who have released a fabulous new video. If you’re a fan of Fightstar, Taking Back Sunday and The Used, check it out here

Now for a cup of tea and a quick chat with my friend before it’s back to taking over the world.

This definitely gets a reblog on my ‘serious news’ tumblr.
No capes will always be serious news.

Going to watch Downton (Series 1) for the first time now.
I know, this is hardly news, but you will soon realise I am behind on everything. Behind on Downton, behind on Kindle.
The only things I’m not behind is any band news (tour dates, releases, singles etc) and books. Luckily, these are the only things that matter.

Might have to change my blog name…
Help, I’m Addicted to Amazon!!
Combination of Kindle (books INSTANTLY), cheap music, fast delivery and now amazon album downloads for £3. And a wish list that goes everywhere on the internet so you can add anything to it.
I think we’re all underestimating the power of Amazon, and that they should definitely employ me in their head office before its too late and the world finds out its planning to take over…

That being said… (Cake/Metaphor/Relationship part 2)
And of course, this is the most important part that I forgot because I got carried away thinking about various kinds of cake.
When you’ve found the right cake and it’s the most delicious cake in the world, lovely and airy and with the right amount of icing and the perfect size slice, would you try something else? When the menu came up and there were several cakes, surely you would go ‘Hmm, these other cakes do sound nice, but I KNOW how good that one is and I just don’t think it can be beaten’. Once you’ve found the right cake for you, you’ll always choose that one.
Again, cake = people is incorrect. I’d recommend my favourite cake to all my friends and say ‘would you like a bite of this?’. That would probably be frowned upon in most relationships.

Cake = Metaphor for relationships
This evening, I had a fantastic conversation where a relationship was metaphorically taken to be cake. This is when I realised the seriousness of monogamy.
So, when someone gets married and says ‘I don’t want to be with another person for the rest of my life’ I’m totally okay with that. I even support it. My parents have done it for 27 years, I hope to do it too.
As soon as girlfriend says ‘I really like lemon cake, I don’t want another cake for the rest of ever’ I’m like WHOA LASSIE. I couldn’t live with just one type of cake! I love multiple cakes, some with equal amounts of love.
I suppose if someone said ‘You can only have lemon cake for the rest of your life’ I’d be okay with it as long as it was a really good lemon cake (and thankfully, girlfriend is a really good lemon cake).
However, if someone then came up to me and was like ‘This chocolate fudge cake is really good, would you like some?’ I would be like ‘oooh chocolate fudge cake, I do like that…’ and I would suffer a moral/cake related dilemma. I would want the fudge cake. Who knows, I might even have it if lemon cake was absent.
That being said, I do not think it is right to have more than one cake if you promise to said love cake. If you love cake as much as you love your partner, you would never choose another cake anyway.
The conclusion of this post; Cakes are different to people. You should definitely go out and try lots of different cake. I’m a self confessed cake slut.
Cake isn’t really a good metaphor for people….

Bloody hell phone tumblr.
Made a silly mistake. I didn’t mean to just post ‘pub’.
Off out soon, no, not to the pub, to the village hall and then my friends house.
Have a good New Year everyone! Expect lots more in 2012, I look forward to getting to know you all and doing lots of blogging/asking/conversing with some interesting people!!

Being a tech wizard
Sat the table with two laptops, an external hard drive, an iPod, a camera, a copy of Microsoft Office 2007 and a cuppa.
I hate technology. I hate that Microsoft make it so difficult to install office without the disk. I’m like ‘look, I have the disc, I have all the files, but my netbook doesn’t have a disk drive, please get over it and get a file that just says ‘set up’ you inconsiderate turnips’.
No such luck. Think I’m gonna have to cave and buy an external disk drive tomorrow. Sigh.
For those who don’t know me, I’m not a computer nerd, I’m just having a very stressful time.
