There’s finally a video to Heavy Cross! Hurrah!
The album is out Monday. It’s been 3 or 4 years since Standing In The Way Of Control came out, and I’m pretty sure that Music For Men will be just as perfect!

The Chapman Family.
Best band (bar La Roux) on the NME tour. Are they signed yet? SOMEONE SIGN THEM.
They are one of the best live bands I have ever seen. The enegry is just astounding. And they’re lovely guys too 🙂
So, enjoy the video to Kids. And if you love it, vote for it on the MTV2 MySpace Chart!
Doll And The Kicks.
Apart from being angry at the elections (the anger will never go), I am also a bit pissed off that the amazing Doll And The Kicks have not been signed.
Bands like Millionaires have a record deal (3 sluts singing about money…toss!) and have ZERO talent.
Is it because they’re American, and Americans will buy anything?! Who knows.
Anyway.
I have decided that if Doll And The Kicks do not get signed by the end of the year, I am going to start my own lable up and sign them myself. Fuck..I said this about Florence And The Machine, and she got signed a few months later (someone give me a job,thanks!)
Morrissey is never wrong, and he currently has the greatest support band on tour with them. Oh fuck that, he has the greatest band in Britain on tour with him.
I saw them in Stirling and I can honestly say that EVERYONE loved them, and everyone that’s been to one of Moz’s recent dates has fallen in love with Doll And The Kicks.
Doll(she’s beautiful and lovely and has an amazing stage presence. Fabolous mover) signed my copy of the album, and I reckon in a few years time it’ll be worth more than £8 (best £8 I have ever spent! I sacrificed buying TWO Morrissey t-shirts for that CD…totally worth it!)
So yes…if they don’t get signed- I am starting my own label. I don’t care if I have to sell my stuff or make my friends become prostitutes(I will…oh I will! ;])
They NEED to be signed.
Doll And The Kicks- Roll Up The Red Carpet.
CLICK HERE TO BUY THE MARVELLOUS ALBUM BY DOLL AND THE KICKS!!!! 🙂  It’s only £5.99!!!!
If you buy the album…I will give you a hug and a beverage of your choice. Or something.
David Carradine….R.I.P.
I know this is a music blog, but this is important.
It’s so sad. He was an amazing actor…just amazing.
The Enemy.
Best thing to come out of Coventry since The Specials.
Check out the video to the new single, Sing When You’re In Love (I’ve witnessed this live at the Ricoh Arena-amazing!)
The Enemy-Sing When You’re In Love (Video).
And this is their cover of Noisettes’ Don’t Upset The Rhythm. Of course I believe it’s better than the original. Love Tom singing Blue Monday near the end!
Lady GaGa.
If there’s one thing I hate doing, it’s writing about bands/singers that I do not like. How I will ever get a job as a Music Writer with morals is beyond me! I’m not selling my soul to any dodgy publication. By do not like, I mean slagging them off in a way that makes me sound like a pretentious, jumped up prick ya know? I’m not like that, so why would I do that just to draw a reader in. I’d much rather write about something fantastic and exciting that makes the reader want to go out and buy the record or go to the gig. There’s enough negativity in the world, music is meant to be a happy thing. An escape. I know I sound odd..but stay with me on this.
Right. Lady GaGa. I do not like her music (however Pokerface, due to it being constantly played AT me..I like it a bit. Mainly for the “bluffin’ with my muffin” line.) but after watching interviews of hers, I can’t help but think that she is a ridiculously sweet person. I’ve just watched her interview on the Ellen Degeneress Show(I’ll put a link up!) and what she said to her was just lovely. I did get teary eyed. Also, watching her sing Pokerface with just a piano shows how good a voice she has.
I don’t like her music, but I do think that she seems quite sweet and has a good voice. Anyone who can go on TV and say they have a “donkey dick” and can take the piss out of themselves is fine by me.
I’m not saying that everyone should like her, I can understand why people like her and dislike her. You cannot deny that she is talented. Just watch her performances with just a piano and you’ll see that she has a fantastic voice.
So many are quick to label her as “too commercial” but whatever. It’s not like she’s lip synching like I don’t know…Britney?! Will Britney sing at her UK tour or will she mime? Who knows. Who care! If she does mime, then the people that go to see her will be gutted. You’ll have spent £30+ to see someone mime. You can watch it on YouTube for free. Think about it.
I’m going to leave it there…for now. Here’s the clip :
Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Heads Will Roll.
I like it when bands release tracks I love off their albums as a single! Probably one of the best singles they’ve put out/songs they’ve recorded.
Shirley Manson (Garbage)
FINALLY! Finally there is a demo of a track by the lovely, gorgeous, talented, wonderful ,beautiful, stunning….SHIRLEY MANSON!
I love it. I love this demo and it gives me hope that maybe…just maybe an album may come out? Garbage or solo..I just want to hear some new stuff. I’ve been in love with Garbage (mores so Shirley) for…I have no idea, but a very long time. So to hear new material makes me quite happy.
Shirley Manson- In The Snow (Demo).
Oh, and there’s loads of different clips of it on YouTube, but I like the video to this one 🙂
Metric-Sick Muse Video.
The video is up on YouTube..not sure if it’s meant to be or not….
I’m pretty sure some will think it’s low budget or whatever, but I think the video fits the song. And Emily, of course looks beautiful!
Enjoy 🙂 x
Florence And Dev!
Florence and Dev Hynes covering one of the greatest punk tracks….scrap that. COVERING ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS OF ALL TIME. It’s Search And Destroy by the amazing, Iggy Pop. This cover is amazing. I LOVE THE PERSON WHO UPLOADED IT! There’s two other videos they’ve put up of them singing together- check them out. The Blink 182 one is funny, they forget the words! Oh, and there’s Dev’s Galaxy Of The Lost which is just beautiful, as always.
