Feist - The Reminder

I'm not even kidding when I say that this is one of the best albums I have bought in recent years. I'm digging it so hard. It displays songwriting at its most beautiful and most honest. Seriously, its an essential purchase. It will put a smile on your face.

End Of A Year

So I first heard this band a couple years back now and have had their LP "Sincerely" for a while and for some reason I feel compelled to write about them. I honestly think that they are one the most overlooked bands in the hardcore/punk/whatever scene at the moment. Sure, they may a bit of an Embrace/Rites of Spring rip, but, my god, they do it well. I can't think of a record that I've heard recently that I've found so infectious. It gets better and better with every listen.

If you haven't heard them, hear them now: www.myspace.com/endofayear

You're money, baby.



Swingers.
What a film! Watched it on Friday night. I can't believe I hadn't checked this out before now.
So stylish, so funny and, plus, Vince Vaughan is fucking badass!

Not the greatest start...

to the month of February.
Last night was possibly the most boring night of my entire life. Every plan i made fell through hard. Saturdays are not about staying in ALL day. Last of The Mohicans was on the TV. Was excited to see it because Daniel Day Lewis was in it. Thought it would be good. It wasn't. Truely disappointing.
Plus I missed out on the Baroness/Kylesa show.

Next week is shaping up to be pretty good though.
Heading off to France on Saturday for a week of skiing. YES!

Currently spinning obsessively:
Tragedy - Vengeance
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Black Mountain - In The Future
V/A - I'm Not There Soundtrack

Its called "(Repeater) Decay / Coma Mirror"

The Oracle LP has a jackhammer 'played' on it. FUCK!

Current want list.

Totally topped by these.




Nerdstock 08

So some kid yesterday tried to convince me that hacking (of all the shit/pointless things in the world) is cool.
Hmmmmm.
Still... nice guy though.

If I died wearing this...

.... I would be satisfied with the way my life had gone, i.e. I had managed to get a hold of one of these.



Hozac

Weird first post but yeah... a friend posted this on myspace the other day and I nearly died laughing. Definately a keeper.

No Sleep Till.....

...well about 7.30am. Bummer.

So, whilst lying in bed I thought about doing one of these because I've always meant to start one. It's something to pass the time and its way less gay than keeping a diary.
