A few things….

I will attempt to type up my interview with Eliza Doolittle this week, promise.

I need to stop looking at Nikes. It’s not helping.

Eliza Doolittle is just lovely. She was an honour to interview. Just beautiful. And live?! Oh my god. Stunning. She sang Rollerblades which resulted in me making the weirdest noise at my best friend and having a fit.  I’ll write a review in a bit.

Alphabeat were a joy to hang out with.

I’m watching a documemtary about Beach Boys. I adore them. They were a messed up bunch but made beautiful music.

I bought a lot of humous today.

Mystery Jets!

The new song, Flash A Hungry Smile is in short, bloody amazing. It’s one of the best tracks of this year so far. And I reckon the new album will be one of the best ones of this year. They are one of my favourite bands ever. They just make EVERYTHING so much better, even when it’s disgustingly crap. They are just a are gorgeous band who never disappoint.

The XX.

The XX were my favourite band of 2009. I remember hearing their cover of Hot Like Fire by Aaliyah but not knowing who they were, for some odd reason, I just didn’t take note of their name. Then I heard Basic Space, Crystalised etc. The album came out and I fell in love. Utter love. The album amazed me. I was just left in awe. Everything about their debut album is just stunning. But like most people have said, it is the way Romy and Oliver’s voices compliament each others.

This is shown at a recent wee gig they did for Vans in America. It’s shot in black and white which makes it so beautiful.

Enjoy.

Crystalised.

Shelter. (Second favourite!)
