I’m Doing This Until They Are Signed (Doll And The Kicks).
Dear Music Industry,
I know that there’s a recession going on and all that shit, but if you could please stop promoting bands that are actually wank and start paying attention to bands that are actually AMAZING and worthy of supporting, I, and others would very much appreciate it. For the past 2 years I’ve fallen in love with a band called Doll And The Kicks. I’ve seen them live (they’ve supported Morrisey you know) and soon they’ll be touring the UK on their own..funding it themselves as they don’t have a record deal. I must say that they are the hardest working band and will blow your mind when you see them live. I don’t ask for much, infact, I never ask for anything. I’m making an exception right now. I’m asking you to listen to Doll And The Kicks and to then go see them at one of these dates :

Also, if you go on their MySpace page you will hear some lovely songs and their beautiful faces. They are a well loved band and it is easy to see why. I firmly believe, hand on heart, that Doll And The Kicks will be a credit to any label that signs them. They already have a strong, loyal fanbase and we all want them to be signed so everybody can see just how good this band are.
Thank you for reading and I will be making another post like this soon. Oh, andin 2008 I made a post about how Florence + The Machine needed to be signed. A few months later she was and now look at her. Please listen to me, I do know what I’m on about 🙂
I’ve met them twice and they are just lovely people who deserve to have much success. I’ll save the rest for another post.
Thank you,
A massive Doll And The Kicks fan.

Ellie Goulding-Wish I Stayed.
I may have already put this here, but so what!? You can have it again because it’s just perfect. Enjoy!
She looks so beautiful/cute/adorable/happy in this video.
RIP Jay Reatard.
Lightspeed Champion-Part 3.
Here’s part 3 of the interview with Dev 🙂
Hurricane Drunk-The Horrors Remix!
THIS is just as beautiful as The xx’s remix of You’ve Got The Love. It was FIRST played on Flo’s show last night. It is just amazing. I think it’s part of the iTunes bundle when it’s out on March 1st. BUY IT.
Florence + The Machine- Hurricane Drunk (The Horrors Remix).
Flo On Radio 1.
In case you missed it last night (SHAME ON YOU!! :p) here’s the link for Florence on Radio 1 :
Florence Welch On Radio 1. It’s up for a week.
As I was listening to the show, I had a bit of a GENIUS idea…so I made a Facebook group. JOIN : Florence Should Have Her Own Radio Show!
Ellie Goulding-Fighter Plane.
This is the B-Side to Under The Sheets. The clips says it’s 8 minutes, it’s not..just 4. However, it’s the best 4 minutes you’ll spend today. Trust me. It is so beautiful. I adore the line “Face your mistakes, you’ll never have to feel that way again.” It is so beautiful. I don’t know if it’s on the album..but it’s so beautiful. It’s on a par with Cosmic Love by Florence + The Machine.
MASSIVE NEWS ABOUT THE STROKES.
Life=COMPLETE….nearly.
