I am currently in the pits of hell writing my dissertation, the only thing(s) keeping me going is the thought of playing some gigs very soon and watching the world cup in the summertime

For others in times of trouble, loneliness, boredom, frustration and desperation....This video will (and always will) do the trick...




Peace and happiness for all

p.s Microsoft Office 2007 is a piece of fucking shit, David Cameron is a moron...The pope is a disgrace and should be charged for crimes against humanity..Other than than that, sleep tight.

Summer loving torture party........

The weather is currently very nice........However this goes hand in hand with having to be stuck in doors for 10 hours a day writing my dissertation, which isn't even any good by the way...

To celebrate this, i have made another mixtape............

The Fall......

So the fall released their (29th?) album 'Your future Our Clutter' this week. I haven't managed to have a listen yet, but i have a good idea what it will sound like...

The Fall are awesome...i remember accidentally listening to them when i was about 12 and all i wanted to do was tear my eyeballs out. What i didn't know at the time was that in many ways that was the point... Perhaps with a little help along the way (thanks to Mr J Peel) the band have evolved into somewhat of an institution in British music. So much so that any band who even THINKS of doing something similar just gets bombarded with "just sounds like the fall"....That ladies and gentlemen is amazing

Anyone who knows anything about the Fall will understand what i mean when i say Mark E. Smith IS the Fall... What i cant work out is whether i wish there were more Mark E. Smiths in this world or whether for the sake of everyone, one is enough

In homage to the man himself....



Enjoy xx

Divebombing allowed...

yesterday we recorded a new song at Miloco's "Pool"
It was the first time we had ever been to a Miloco studio and we'll be making every effort to go back to one again as we really felt at home in the Pool ;)



We recorded a song called 'Positive Thinking' with a lovely producer Premen. We'll put it up on myspace in the next couple of weeks.
oh and we also had chinese takeaway, sainsburys rocky road and homemade fairy cakes from sam's nan.

here are a small collection of photos from saturday


total number of drum microphones = 17

Elliott Smith

The odds were stacked against me liking Elliott Smith...As far as I was aware, he was an 'american acoustic singer/songwriter' who wrote that song in that film.

But I hold my hands up, I was wrong to assume. When I first started properly listening to him I was blown away.....Melody + Boredom + Melancholy...Drake/Buckley/Cobain






For those of you who don't know, he released some great albums: Elliott Smith/Either/or/XO/Figure 8 until his death in 2003

'From a Basement on a Hill' was released in 2004. This was made up of a load of songs he was working on around the time of his death. He didn't have a say in the track selection or song orders etc but nonetheless it is still a great album..............

We are in good spirits. On Saturday we are recording a new song at this place......




Wish us luck xx

Happy Easter

To cut a long story short, a long time ago, a man called Jesus (the messiah by the way) was put on the cross, crucified, then buried in a tomb...........he then came back to life and then immediately flew back up to heaven.......

Our easter gift to you is this woman.......if you don't laugh, you'll cry....



If you can get through all the parts, you deserve all the chocolate in the world
