Gay Order

This is a long way from making songs with Ian Curtis about loneliness and losing your mind... The vest and short shorts combo is killing it though. It's worth listening to for when Bernard comes in with the vocals and realises he's singing in an unsustainably high note and so suddenly drops down to a bassy whisper.

Concrete and Glass: Lykke Li at Cafe 1001

Then we went to Cafe 1001 (I know) to watch Lykke Li. She was pretty good, Sweden makes some really great pop music.
As you can imagine the crowd was VERY middle of the road with a few entry-level alts, it was like the whole of Islington had ventured away from Upper Street for the night.


I think the promoters were worried shit was going to get out of hand so the put up this security barrier to keep the mob back, it works at the Post Office after all.

My Sister Took This...

not a lot to say. i just want others to know he exists, and to bask in his glow.

douchebag douchebag douchebag

Like a complete douchebag I went out last night and missed my plane to go on holiday this morning. I didn't even get as close as the picture suggests (that isn't me), its not like i was running late and got there just past check-in. I completely fucked it up and woke up at the exact time the flight took off. In a way that's kind of impressive.

Having to pay loads of money to fly out tomorrow isn't.

NEW BLOGGER!

After weeks of anticipation - Ben Rayner has LANDED!(as you can see below)

I think I might

go to the park and read a book... On the other hand, I might freak out and worry I'll see someone I know and play Grand Theft Auto instead. Either way, I'll probably be listening to music like this today (Right-click to save them)






Angela & Rene - I Love you more (than you'll ever know)

Nathan Fake - The Sky was Pink (James Holden Remix)

Cream - Strange Brew

Alton Ellis & The Flames - Girl I've Got a Date

In fact I've uploaded a better version of this Alton Ellis & The Flames song here on Div Share, which is brilliant. It's off a Trojan Compilation 'Work Your Soul' which is excellent and full of soul versions of Trojan songs. In fact, it also features this song:

The Gaylets - Here Comes that Feeling (aka that lonely feeling) which I don't recommend listening to on a sunny day as it will really bring you down.



... Yeah I know, I'm eclectic.
