Au Revoir

I'm going back to Manchester tomorrow, where I'll have no internet, and then shortly after I'm heading to Spain, so I'm going to leave you for a while, with this cover version as a parting gift. Incase you haven't noticed, I love La Roux. I want to marry Elly and have androgynous children with hair that doesn't obey gravity (I don't know about her, but mine does that naturally every morning). I'm less certain about how I feel about White Lies, but this version of Farewell to the Fairground is far cooler than the original.

Here's the news from the BBC

I saw Fangs supporting Sons and Daughters in Manchester Club Academy once. After I left, I saw the members drinking out of a big bottle of Strongbow on a bench outside. I knew I shouldn't have been impressed, but they managed to do common with style. I hadn't really given them a second thought in the past two years, and now I find them recording really super cool music. I love their attitude, I love that the singer calls herself "The Queen", and I love this song. I like to think they're still swigging cider outside venues.

(I actually bought this with my money, so you should too.)

Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions

Circumstances kept me in Manchester for longer than anticipated but I'm back in Runcorn's cold embrace for a few days now, with that fibre optic broadband we've all been hearing so much about. Samuel L Jackson wouldn't lie to us.

I stumbled across this gem pretty quickly. I've tried desperately to get into Architecture In Helsinki, I listen to them for hours but I just tend to go through passionate love affairs with one track at a time. Whilst my time with Do The Whirlwind has long passed, this Yacht remix has me dancing at the family computer desk.

Also everyone should go and see Coco Avant Chanel when it comes out next week. Il est très beau.

We've been holding this moment for you

I've just done a big long post, but this track deserves it's own one, it's so adorable and bright. I wake up with it in my head.

I'm moving back home for a while so expect little posts more frequently.
