Jack and Jay went up the hill to fetch a pile of lyrics...



Cannot wait for the Jack White and Jay Z collaboration?  If your screaming WTF? Really? Why? please catch up already. I can only expect big things

On the Jack White topic. I cannot be any more excited for The Dead Weather second album 'Sea Of Cowards' which I hear Jack is now leading and taking over main vocals from Alison. As much as I like Alison, this will must definitely bring a different sound to the second record.

Lead Single:



(The official video comes out this week) 

Just pure Gothic vibes. Wet dreams vibes. Just pure sex vibes.

Band insight




I do hope the special guest slot in the NME tent at Reading is for The Dead Weather. Would actually black out due to that thought.

Yeasayer

I remember hearing very BIG things for these guys last summer. I finally managed to get round to checking them out  to which I was not disappointed. I feel even more guilty for not even giving them a tiny chance last year, considering I really am liking the material out there at the minute. I will have the chance to see these guys twice over the summer (Reading and Open'er festival)





I am so down with running naked on rocks. Totally down. Where was my invite?
Easy I am in love....What awesome lyrics with an even more awesome video.

The Drums

Recently I have been really into The Drums, some may say 'no thanks' I say 'bring the 80's gay pop with an modern indie twist my way'.



Wonder how the Drum lads keep in shape?



                  

Midnight beach running singing 'Lets Go Surfing' bet you never got that.

Back?

So its Easter and its a bank holiday and I have free day at home. No work no nothing. Just me doing nothing apart from drowning myself in chocolate, thinking about mash potato and butter......


More to the point I am going to try and blog again at least once a week, maybe more if your lucky.

So recently I bought a dominion name trashfacefashion.co.uk and I bought it on the back of me going back to designing t shirt. For a wee on the side hobby. I can and sometimes still do make my own clothes or just play around with the ones I already own. I just need to set aside a few days and actually start planning the site layout. I am thinking leopard and black with flashing/moving picture (I really don't know the correct word for that but yeah) That's the plan. I have a family member in the web designing page, but do I really what a family member around my shizz? No. No. No.

So once that is open and running I expect my t shirts on the bare backs of those Hoxton Bella's with frumpy fringes and shiny boots. I await your service.
If I am able too I may add a unsigned band section. Where you can listen to unheard music (I know a few willing to help) Oh maybe I should have a gig's guide as well.
OK make to reality.

Hopefully I can have that up and running in a few weeks maybe months.

GOAL: Be up and running by summer. 

Anyway tell your friends I am back...

Foals are back



This is just insane, beautiful just everything about the build up is just WOW.

Foals are back harder and stronger, as a massive Antidotes fan. This is just mind blowing stuff.

New Kate Nash?


If I hear another 'the new Kate Nash song is shit' I will head-butt myself in the mirror. Get. Over. It.
She wrote most of her first album at school, you really expect a 22 year old to still write about school discos and eating cheese and toast?
Anyway
I liked it instantly, like the first time you have a bath after a festival. Some reason I can see the Goth god The Horrors influence involved. I like the screaming, but I could be biased with the whole trinity, harrow connection. 



This may just almost slot as my favourite Nash song, I love the help-me-drama sounding, but nothing could top Caroline's A victim. I remember very clearing standing on the platforms of Harrow and Weald train station and singing this back to her (was only young (college age) leave me alone) Never made the album or even much air time, but will always be my favouite. The rest was just like child's play, but hey it made her the star she is today. No faults there. 



Well ghetto.

Album out in April

Kates also in a band called The Receeders. I caught them live a few weeks back in January. If you like the pop sound of Kate Nash then this is not for you. Little on the punk side.

One more thing. If your following Nash on Twitter, then your following a fake. Kate's not on Twitter. FACT!

Flash back time kiddies!


The other day I woke to find myself surrounded by a bunch of die hard rockers who ride motorbikes and wear too tight jeans, then it occurred to me that most mornings I find myself in surroundings my eyes are not familiar with, you know I am not some kinda sex whore, but I am a 'I like to party' whore who will trust anyone with a bottle of vodka sometimes even a can of 75p white ace. I like people. I like to drink with people. I what to hang with them till we pass out and find ourselves thinking 'yeah bad night let's dribble in a cookie' I am not one for taking pictures out (you people annoy me)but this morning in particular I wish I did, it was the perfect vision from what I remember was a ridiculous night, first thing is I actually had some sleep or passed out or whatever but to wake surrounded by the smell of vomit, yucky you just thought did you not? but wait the good part is coming anyway yeah so first taste I taste with my nose is vomit then when I tried to look up and get some air. I couldn't it was like I was in a silver metal cave damp thing, but then I saw a plug then smashed my head on the tap that's right I was sleeping or maybe passed out or whatever in the sink, not my whole of my body but my upper body, it was a double sink and well my legs where somewhere else, they got lost on the way to the sink of course. Right back to the picture in my head.As my vomited influenced head finally managed to get out the metal cave, I find myself laughing uncontrollably that about 10guys where crashed out on the floor, accompanied with pink hair (glitter spray)a pink rubber pink firmly placed on a each person.
Right so
Picture tight jeans wearer rockers/punks attached a head of pink hair and to a little pink rubber duck. The person to blame was the guys room mate Emily, she complained that she was sick of the parties and vulgar attitude of his company and wanted to humiliate him where it hurt the most. His bad boy image. She wanted to capture him and his crew all asleep with pink hair, duckies, flowers and all things pink and girlie. The house was already covered in flour thanks to dear old Glitter stalker idea from the night before she would have smashed eggs around but I hate eggs and would have pulled her hair or whatever, but Emily took it and put it in her own favour. She tagged all photos of the guys looking rather on the gay side surrounded with floor and cans of beer.
I kinda wished I could have seen them all, but facebook and me have not been
friends for over a year now (we are in the middle of a dead end marriage, both refusing to give each other what we what) but I did hear a uproar was caused, but in the funny sense 'like payback' not the 'when your sleeping I will stab your heart out' uproar. 
I think I will add on that note ........with this song and my weird childish humour.




90% of people will not find at all funny. The other 10% is all me darlings

Random laugh of the Day

Sorry, but this is funny as fuck.



Goes by the name of Stefan Abingdon, the Fulham lad who has been in more bands then my feet have seen socks. Remember these: The Clik Clik, Perfect People and currently doing the rounds with The Midnight Patrol (who I recently saw in Camden, with a few of the Hadouken lads) and The Midnight Beast as well as being a solo artist and many more that I am totally unaware of.

I actually started stalking him on His Twitter a few weeks back. So should you.

 I have watched it on repeat since I first caught my eyes on the link via an email from a mutual friend of ours saying 'check this crazy shit out'
