Dear @theoddhatman and @snaredrumwarfare,

You need to see the new Jon Hopkins video for Cold Out There. Also, Gael, Moderat are coming to your country! They’re also coming to your country Nico but I know you already have tickets because you know what’s good for you.

Yikes!!! I stopped reading halfway through :/

It was just so mean! It seriously hurt my heart. I’ll be playing it extra loud when it gets here.

Aw thank you so, so much! You are such a dear, it means a lot. I can’t believe you remembered. It’s actually my birthday tomorrow but I think a day early is still spectacular timing! I’m impressed.

It’s so cool that you’re going to see him in a couple of months!!! please please please feel free to tell me all about it!!! I’ll be more than happy to read about that. To be honest your Hopkins posts make me really happy :)

Words can’t even begin to describe how much I’m looking forward to seeing him again, and you’re such a sweetheart for wanting to put up with all my thoughts and feelings about that show. I’m just warning you in advance, I’ll probably end up writing you an endless e-mail about it.

Also, it means so much to me that my Jon posts make you happy! I often feel like I just go on and on about him way too much and my followers are getting annoyed, or like no one really cares or ever takes notice of any of those posts. I’m really glad to hear it’s making some people happy to see my posts about him on their dashboards. So thank you so much for telling me that!

You, themysterioushatman, beingindie, and killerleggs are honestly a blessing for having similar thoughts and feelings about his music and wanting to share that with me. I’m happy I found you guys here and that you got in touch with me. 

While I’m on it I’d also like to thank those few other people who occasionally like and/or reblog my Jon posts. I know there’s more Jon Hopkins appreciators out there and I’m happy that you come out of hiding from time to time. I do put a certain amount of effort into finding content to post on my blog and it’s a nice feeling knowing that it’s appreciated and that some people are actually interested in it. With Jon being quite underrated on Tumblr it’s not always as obvious that people appreciate the content.

Of course I’m also SUPER GRATEFUL for everyone else who follows my blog and reblogs my other posts, I cannot stress that enough. The difference is that you’re all certainly making yourselves known a lot more by getting me lots of notes, which isn’t to say that I appreciate it any less because it really makes me smile. It makes me want to keep dedicating time to keeping this blog up and running. I also really love the people I’ve met here and the fun we have together. You’re such a wonderful bunch.

Ok, so this has turned into a much longer text posts than I intended, I’m sorry. If you got to the end of this let me love you.

I’m almost certain that he’ll come when he releases a new record and yes!! I’m very excited about that!! Are you going to see him soon? If so, I’d love to read about it, it’s always nice to read other people’s experiences, it’s like I’m there a bit

He will. I’m sure he will! I’m so so excited and curious to see what he’ll do next, I really can’t wait! And yes I’ll be seeing him in July, which still feels like ages away but I guess it’s happening pretty soon actually. Over the past few months I’ve missed his live show so much and I’m so happy I’ll get to see him one last time before he stops touring for a while. Of course I’ll tell you all about it! I’ll be there on my own so I’m going to need someone to share all my feelings with after the show.

He came to Mexico last year but unfortunately I wasn’t able to go, and there’s no dates near me at the moment. I’ve seen him only once but it was one of the most amazing live shows I’ve seen! But I’m glad he’s going to be working on new things!!! :)

Oh yes, I remember that moment. I’m still sad you couldn’t go, BUT, I’m glad you at least got to experience his show once! He will come back, if not soon then he’ll no doubt be back once he’s finished his next record which indeed is VERY EXCITING!
