1. The Video Nasties are now good live. This is pretty awesome, and you should go see them play. The album is fine, the material feels a little dry on tape, but seriously trust me, it is a different animal on stage. Like a Lion maybe. Or a Liger. Also, the bass player has a pretty amazing fringe.
2. Metric are still awesome. Fantasies is up with Pains, YYY's and Maccabees with my records of the the year thus far. New Regina Spektor is looking good too!
3. I really like the new Ellie Goulding stuff.
4. WHY IS CHIDDY BANG NOT SIGNED YET?
5. Theophilus was pretty childish at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen. Seriously dude, we're British, you were in East London. People do not dance that often here unless super inebriated, be grateful no one was wasted enough to dance at your first show, it shows a level of expectation and respect we don't give most. You were quite brilliant until you stormed off though.
6. White Lies are just too awesome live right now. Go see them at a festival. Not sombre live but strong, powerful and electric. Bishop Allen are also just fantastic live. If you go see them, you'll want to hug the world after.
7. I am really glad I am not going to any festivals. Except maybe End of The Road. It shares a name with a Boyz II Men song AND has Explosions in the Sky & Papercuts.
8. Steven Merritt composed the music for a childrens film called 'Coraline'. Someone should bootleg this for me, I'd be very, very indebted to you.
9. Janelle killing it:
10. New band overload tomorrow. Be ready to press play.
Until then:
Go see Pains of Being Pure of Heart this weekend. I am.
Thrice.
