So here we are! another year, another christmas is nearly upon us,(you can just hear the bank managers rubbing there hands together cant you!).Im quite looking forward to the festive season this year,eating too much,drinking WAY too much and generally being round the loved ones.Theres another reason why this years gonna be a special one, and that is because my dear friend mark,who ive known since i was knee high to a grasshopper,is leaving my cosy bundle of friends that we've all grown so comfy with,and is spreading his feathers to go and live in the US with his wonderful girlfriend Colleen.Im gonna miss him so much,not just because he's the barman in my local pub(well,actually thats got alot to do with it!),but he's an integral part in my circle of friends.I wish you all the luck in the world,Im gonna miss you sparky!!!!!!!!!!!!!Before i start getting a bit dewy eyed let us move on! Christmas is also the time of year when i first discovered Incubus.Back this time of year 6 years ago i turned the t.v on and watched the video for Drive in absolute amazement,gob smacked that music could sound so harmonious,lyrics could be so beautifully written and a video could be so cleverley executed all in the space of a couple of minutes.It was at that point that i realised i'd found the most genious band in the world-they've definately earned a life long fan in me.So this christmas forget playing Silent night,why not throw a bit of Incubus Make yourself on-i know what im gonna be listening to! !!!love beckxxxx
