F**K FOREVER

At the moment I am feeling something akin to a bad mother. Don't get me wrong I'm not actually a mother I have no children and no desire for them at this point in my life but I've been neglecting to listen to music as much as I normally would in the past few months. This is mostly because I've moved in with my boyfriend and don't have quite as much free/alone time as I use to. Not that I'm complaining I'm loving the change it's just that I need to get back in touch with the songs and artists I've been without.
In order to begin to do this I've started to rebuild my relationship with my ipod. Already I'm beginning to feel better and more like myself. My favourite playlist (Dirty Shambled Libs) is once again receiving the attention it deserves. Things will be back as they should in no time.




also... if anyone's wondering about the title of my blog (a babyshambles track) it's only reasoning is because I'm using my F**K FOREVER canvas bag today. Which I adore by the way. And in a completely unrelated tangent, I'm also wearing my Maximo Park shirt which I'd sort of forgotten I owned...

slapped by that slapper

Anyone who knows me knows that Peter Doherty is something of a god to me so thank goodness he never fails to disappoint. The amazingly beautiful solo album Grace/Wastelands came out this year and to be honest he surprised me with just how good it is. To be fair a lot of the songs have been kicking around for quite some time but who cares when they're as brilliant as they are. There's no real reason for this post. Simply the fact that i was watching the clip for last of the english roses on the tube and decided to share it on here.

Sell Out or Get Out (?)

I'll never understand how bands with such promise can fail so drastically. I remember way back in 2004 when this incredible new band hit the scene. They were quirky, they had energy. They were what i'd been waiting for. The excitment was uncontainable. They were The Killers back in the days of Hot Fuss. Still one of the great debut albums of our time.
Unfortunatly their music has since been on a gradual decline. The once great group are now nothing more then pretencious wank. It pains me to even think about what they could have been.
I know it may seem controversial to have such opinions on these popular giants of the music world but pass me the shot gun, these working ponies have gone lame.

*apologies for the rant but one of their new and impossibly dull tracks just came on the radio and I felt the need to comment*

The Crunch

Just watched the new Kasabian film clip for Vlad The Impaler
SO FREAKIN' GOOD!

It stars Noel Fielding and is directed by Richard Ayoade. Brilliant.

losing my head to hollywood

I am a huge Patrick Wolf fan. Have been for quite some time now. His first three albums are just magic in my opinion but I've been listening to his latest single, Vulture and i'm not sure that I really dig it so much...
I don't know, it's just so different and usually I love when artists mix it up a bit and do something they've never done before but I just don't know with this. It could still grow on me but for now i'm just not loving it.
I have hope that Vulture won't neccesarily be representitive of the rest of the album but even if it is I can't bring myself to dismiss it just yet. It's Patrick afterall and he hasn't let me down yet...
I know I just sound like a whinging fan but... actually no buts that pretty much is what i'm doing...
*le sigh*
Still can't wait to hear The Bachelor in it's entirety.

For anyone interesting in checking out the clip for Vulture...

go right ahead.
