BBBUUUUS$$$$$$$$YYYY!

I haven’t blogged in ages. Official internet geek fail.

Been busy with new job and life in general and moving to outskirts of London a week today.

Then I won’t have 2 hour commutes and I will have more time for discovering new music and enjoying some classics.

Then I will blog more. :)

Oh God I think I have fallen in love with the woman better known as St. Vincent.

Formerly in the band Polyphonic Spree and part of Sufjan Stevens backing band she went solo a few years ago and is about to release this collaborative album with David Byrne.

But my god, I do think I love her.

Scroobius Piphas recently set up his own record label. His first signingJackamo Brownis a great start. His fellow poet and spoken word author has written a fantastically spooky and beautiful debut album.

Hopefully Pip will continue this venture and sign many more acts and bring them to the wider attention of the music and arts community.

fleur-belle asked: thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! x

A great city too, lovely place and not too big :)

It is Monday, but I am feeling very positive at the moment after a great weekend. Talking and meeting some great new people.

And the realisation I have just one week left in my current job and two weeks until I start my new one!!!

Everything just seems to be going well right now, well other than my failure of a love life but I’ll let that slide for now haha.

Here is something that I am listening to now that just fits my mood. A bit of epic Maccabees

So tonight was one of the best ever gigs I think I have ever been to.UnfortunatelyPulled Apart By Horsesonly played half an hour at theConverse Show. However atThe 100 ClubI have always come away pleased. They basically ripped through all their best songs and got the crowd going and damn was it hot…so much so it is one of the only times I have taken my tshirt off at a gig. It was so crazy that strangers were screaming the lyrics in each others’ faces (me = strangers). Just wow…was also filmed and many ‘pro’ photographers there so hopefully I will find some footage of me bouncing about. Not only that though but the crowd was great, chatted to some people after and it has given me faith that there are many people out there who love music and gigs as much as I do and don’t pigeon hole themselves and criticise everything else. Good times…roll on the next gigEagles of Death Metal.

You know when a song fits a moment…yeah that

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you ‘cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view

Push me up against the wall
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Fallin’ all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health ‘cause
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view…

Blood loss in a bathroom stall
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave good-bye to ma and pa ‘cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view

Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl
Autumn’s sweet we call it fall
I’ll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view…

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you ‘cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view…

I love acoustic versions of songs, but only when done well as I think too many bands do it nowadays and can actually ruin the original live plugged in versions. However when you have a beautiful woman, who can sing, in the shape of Emily Haines likeMetric have, you can’t go wrong. Wow.
