I don't actually want to hang a DJ I hope you realise..

First post! Which I will almost certainly delete in a few more posts/minutes deeming it too cringy... Took me a long long time to decide on a blog title, which hopefully many will realise is a reference to The Smith's song 'Panic' - my favourite band so had to get them in here somewhere, especially as I am aiming for this blog to showcase my music journalism as well as rambling meaningless posts such as this one.. and probably lots more moans..

For anyone interested I recently graduated from Bournemouth University with a degree in Multi-Media Journalism, three of the best years of my life and I am suffering major withdrawl! Although I do go back quite frequently - cling on much?! The course was so good (accredited by NCTJ etc - all the important Journo boards I'll have you know!) that it let me with too many options and ideas about avenues to go down now, so I am now in.. fifty minds?! about what type of journalism I want to do, but my main interest has always been music, as it is such a major part of/obsession in my life. Before Uni I was adamant I would write for NME as I was addicted and bought every issue from when I was about 15 until I was 19, when I was too broke and re-evaluated the situation and the magazine's direction..

So now I freelance for avenue61.co.uk which is slowly growing and will hopefully become bigger this year. Apart from that the only thing I can decide on right now is that I want to go travelling, so I'm working in H&M to get money for that and hope to go ASAP! - Already been put off many times now.. I would love to go to: Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Singapore, East coast of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Peru (and volunteer in a school), Bolivia and Brazil!! WOULD BE AMAZING to do all of that, but it is my aim so we shall see! Until I blog more about that I'm going to post the article's I've written for avenue61 so far...
