I wanted Swedish music. I went to It’s A Trap!. Saw their compilation. Liked the first artist. MySpaced her. First song is basically me at uni at the moment. (Highschool Stalker). Getting album and 2 singles. Loves.
And yesterday, you passed me by
I swear, you nearly said Hi
I could have died
best album of the year so far, mason. You got it? It’s claaaass.
Link to a page containing the link to the album
Idlewild (Outkast movie) website
Watch the trailer on there, looks like a pretty class, if strange, film. The music in the last third of the trailer is a new Outkast song I believe, presumably from the Idlewild soundtrack, and sounds really good. The film’s out August - not sure when the OST is out.
Soooo…emailed The Indelicates before, telling them about Night & Day and saying they should try and play it. Got an email back an hour or so ago.
Thanks Mike,
We’ve just emailed them our begging letter. If they say yes we’ll stick
you on the guest list
cheers,
Simon Indelicate.
:-)
Wednesday 8th of March @ 5pm. I doubt i’ll be able to make it, cos it’s a wednesday PLUS it’s at 5. Anywya if you wanna check them oot, check out their myspace for songs.
We don’t want another ForwardRussia! to happen. 
Jesus Christ. Absolutely fucking amazing.
First off, the support were great, B.C. Camplight, so we got their album and I got a limited edition (100 copies) single. Got them all signed by everybody at the end. The singer was downing half a bottle of Southern Comfort in between singing and playing piano.
When Boy Least Likely To came on it WAS ‘the best party ever’. I was singing along to everything, class atmostphere, SO glad I went. One of the band (the blonde woman) started eating cakes on stage. They all love their hand actions. They like to stomp. They like to clap. We were right at the front, literally next to the stage. Vikki bought their album and got it signed by all of them. I got a piece of paper signed by the singer. Vikki was brilliant at getting signings, just kept somehow getting more and more. We have you a goodie bag Sy. I have badges and posters and a nice t-shirt.
Best moments:
- MONSTERS. Oh my God. Monsters live is EASILY their best song, they start getting louder and faster the more it goes on, fucking incredible.
- Papercuts.
- (…) Apple Wagon (…)
- Be Gentle With Me - they set off a bubble machine in our faces. We had bubbles going all over us but we just didn’t care.
- NIGEL! NIGEL! chant for the sound engineer.
Oh yeah, and:
Event: The Boy Least Likely To, 30 Apr 2006 19:30
Venue: Manchester Uni/Academy 2&3
Just booked that. They were that good.
…can be heard on their myspace.
i love it. more funkier and it sounds like they’ve dropped the cheesy stuff and gone back to their dancey roots. i like it 
can’t wait for album
Just saw Jim Noir live. That was pretty mint, did about 6 songs then a signing. I got their 7″ signed, which I bought for a quid. Might buy the album, going to download first.
GIG NUMBER ONE OF THE NEXT TWO WEEKS…COMPLETE. Two more to go!
Oh my God. I’ve just found such a class band.
Just listen to those mp3s. Listened to ‘Burn All The Photographs’ (you’ll have to put in a direct address to that one - I’ll put it here if you can’t figure it out) and Julia, We Don’t Live In The 60s so far - I’m loving it SO much. Now onto ‘New Art For The People’, some of the lyrics feel really unexpected (first two lines of NAFTP are filthy), but whooooa.
I DISCOVERED THESE ONES. If you did before me, Sy, a) I’ll cry and b) why was I not informed?
Look what came in the post
At last!
Also, they’ve filmed a video for ‘Be Gentle With Me’ - it’s bloody class.
Finally, think I’m gonna be going to see The Shortwave Set with Iria and possibly Liam.
£62 for Arctic Monkeys (plus the 2 quid p+p which I’m not counting in that). So about the same it is, told you.
Need For Speed just went for £18, so £80 altogether excluding p+p - NICE. And that pays for my albums I bought the other day.
- Heard Edan’s Beauty and the Beat. Fucking class. Love Torture Chamber.
- Bloc Party - Silent Alarm: good.
- Cat Power - The Greatest: ’tis indeed great.
OH GOD I CAN’T TAKE ANY MORE PURCHASES FOR NOW.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The Strokes - First Impressions Of Earth
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
Shortwave Set - The Debt Collection
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not
£54 on Play.com
PLUS
Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy
We Are Scientists - With Love & Squalor
£22 off HMV.
So that’s £76 gone there. Most of that should recouped by my eBay sales, so it’s alright.
Just heard of a band called Cat Power. They’re mint. Gonna download the album when I’m home, probably buy if the rest is as good as what I heard (it’s on a myspace page, just search for ‘Cat Power’ on Google).
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise. Fucking hell. I’ve not listened to it yet, but this album has the shittiest track names ever. Gonna listen now, the music better make up for it.
Update: It did.
We Are Scientists are pretty damn good.
Jose is a bit meh, wasn’t in the mood for it I don’t think.
Update 2:
- Jose is good.
- Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy is fucking amazing. I’m getting serious Magic Numbers/Clap Your Hands Say Yeah vibes off it…yet it’s not really anything like them. I think the Magic Numbers vibe comes from the two singers.
- The Shortwave Set - similarly brilliant.
More soon…
