(imagine an obligatory blah blah sorry for taking so long to update ramble. i'm not really sorry though, cope.)Right straight to the music, mainly because i've been hard at work procrastinating for the past three hours and really ought to do some work. Or at least get dressed. Or get out of bed. Hmm.Tuesday me and neil hit the gritty islington streets to see the Wombats, who incidently were

I'm watching So You Think You Can Dance. I love the creeping takeover of television by 19 productions. They took music five years ago, television now, what's next? I'm amazed at how well Cat Deeley is doing though, and how short she makes all the little dancing men with their silly hair look. Bless.Right this is going to be a bit of an epic post, aimed as a 'best of 2006' but may very well stray.

Perhaps putting my email address on here wasn't the greatest of plans, I've just been invited to join 'ladsoncam' or something. As tempting as hot guys on film may or may not be.This isn't actually my most exciting experience of the day. On the train to london i sat next to someone who was potentially Charlie Dimmock (but on second thoughts probably wasn't, suggestions of female redheaded

I seem to be going through a wannabe-nihilistic phase at the moment. I've been reading lots Brett Easton Ellis and Hunter S Thompson, and the whole notion of fuelling my own downfall with a never ending stream of liquor and class-A drugs to alleviate the ennui of life seems strangely appealing. There's something glamorous (in admittedly Pete Doherty-esque way) about self-destruction.Problem is,

(really really want to post some My Chemical Romance -le sigh-)Much gig-going lately. Last friday should probably not be mentioned for fear of adding to the damage done by the above admission. However last night we saw the splendid Phoenix who were indeed frenchtastic. I'm not entirely sure that really works as a decent descriptive word but I figure if George Bush can make up words then so can

Mmmmmmmmmmm.Am busy listening to the first song up this evening. It is a bit of a classic but mr ipod seems to have become obsessed with it so who am I to argue? Nina Simone doesn't need any introduction (...and I know nothing about her of any relevance, do you really want to know the fact I know a girl called Nina who was a bit of a ho? I think not). This song really does need to be heard

Sooz reminded me that I hadn't posted in a while the other day, and so I return to appease my adoring fans and satiate your cravings for phat ch00ns. Also, my conscience dictated that this blog has to have at least one post that doesn't feature songs that would be played in Nottingham's favourite den of sin and iniquity. And Spooks is on soon - I'm so excited I can't sit still!Actually, work has

I'm sat here crying at X Factor, this could not be more embarrassing. The sudden rush of 'Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong', when the old man who only had one last chance got through, pushed me way over the edge. Go you, ugly old man!I felt it best to set the mental scene before beginning this entry, perhaps by way of explanation/excuse. Now I've noticed a general lack of Australians in this

Right so it has actually been ages since I updated this, for which I offer no apologies because I'm just that sort of girl.The true reason for my absence was forgetting my username and not having the drive to fill in the appropriate form. Lala. I've been preoccupied with researching conspiracy theories about driving test examiners (bastards) and worrying about the outbreak of potential bird flu

Right well as it has been a while (tm. Staind) I figure i'm allowed to post lots. My trip to New York only yielded one new musical discovery, which to most other people won't be a discovery at all. Anyway so I saw Snakes on a Plane, which is utterly dreadful in a sublimely hilarious way and has this wonderful song as its theme:Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) - Cobra StarshipIn typical fashion on the

This is what Neil will have to sit through :P- Metric- Spank Rock- Taking Back Sunday- You Say Party! We Say Die!- Lady Sovereign- Hope of the States- Coldcut - Small amount of Slayer to pay tribute to their hippy slaying powers hah- Broken Social Scene- My Chemical Romance!!!!!1- Klaxons- Placebo- Pearl Jam, with segments of Maximo Park and 2 MAny DJs if they aren't as awesome as I expectWoot!

Well, seeing as Sooz is of gallavanting around the world, I suppose I'd better update this for the listening pleasure of all our non-existant readers. Really, I think she's demonstrating a disturbing lack of commitment to the blog at the moment. It might be time to think about replacing her on the staff.After last week's adventures in disgustingly bubbly pop music, I thought I'd try and salvage a

... in a totally ironic indie way, which means I can listen to today's songs and not feel lame and/or gay. First off we have a marvellous Scandanavian lady with possibly the greatest name ever. "Firefox AK" - it's like the name of a spunky female heroine dressed in the improbable form-fitting metal armour that seems to be the norm in video games. Not that I'm complaining. Anyway:Firefox AK -

Right, time to wrest back control of this blog me thinks. Enough of Neil's faux ghetto and onwards to higher ground. This time in the form of Cold War Kids, aka-the- trendiest band of last month. In this song they bravely go where only Weezer have dared to go before and have dedicated a song to the metaphorical life of a jumper.* Awesome.*possibly, I tend not to listen to the actual words of

So Sooz has brought me in as an independent consultant in order to save you all from her frankly worrying music taste. I must say this is jolly exciting, it's almost like being famous. I'd like you to think of the songs I put up as the yin to Sooz's yang. The alpha to her omega. The good to her bad.Lets kick things off with some jingly-jangly Scottish indie-pop. I really like this band - I think

*hungover*Really really good night out yesterday. Have done nothing at all today to compensate. Music time, le premier chant (my french is attrocious, i apologise) est le Crowded House, because I thought I ought to explain the 'betterbehomesoon' thing. Crowded House are probably the band I would most consistently consider my favourite band ever. I went through stages of claiming it was Savage

This damned thing is insanely addictive, i'm almost looking forward to going back to work next week to stop myself posting so much.So anyway, until my sister lets me back on her computer you guys get the somewhat limited selection on this laptop. Be excited, be be excited.First up we get the third best Nelly Furtado song evah (first being Try and second Powerless, obv). Once you get over the fact

Well basically the point of this is so that i can inflict musical slices of my choosing on the unsuspecting. Whether this will be effective we shall see.Either way to start you get the best thing i've heard all day:Roscoe - MidlakeObviously I only just discover them as they finish their UK/Barcelona tour. Bah humbug.Edit: Okay so it's been pointed out that they are a bit mopey and probably not
