Wears The Trousers

I really should stay clear of Wears The Trousers - a website which basically just panders to my estrogen laced music addiction and thus costs me a whole shedful of green.

Just so I can spread the joy here are their latest finds...

Ida Maria ‘I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked’ [bonus points for a top title]


Cake Bake Betty - ‘Oklahoma City’ [crazy name, crazy sound, crazy video]


ps
I make no apologies for returning to the subject of one Alison Sudol aka A Fine Frenzy. Mind bogglingly beautiful with a voice to match, and d'ya know she can tun out a fair tune as well. Watching this left me with something in my eye...

Getting Shirty

This is the wowfabandindeedgroovy t-shirt that TSTBGD got me for my birthday. It's funny on so many levels and Debs, I luvs it lots.
However, here's the thing. Do I, in fact have the nerve to wear it to tonight's k.d.lang gig? I have to ask myself - is the inherent irony of the statement sufficiently obvious? Or will I just get lynched? Specially as I am a] in the front row and b] Mr Gray would make like brave Sir Robin and run away, run away, [don't try and deny it, you SO would] at the first sign of trouble.

I do know that wearing it at a Tegan and Sara gig would be a very bad idea. Not one for a bit of a larf that paticular crowd.

31 Today

ok tell a lie, I'm actually 40 today, not that I needed much of a reason to post this

More Pressies


I finally got my 10 year anniversary confimation [only 3 months late but very usuful in the event of redundancy] Anyhew, it turns out you get to choose a fandabuloso gift from a HUGE [not] range of wonderful shiny shiny stuff - almost as classy as the Argos catalogue folks!

This is what I picked. You can't have too many mini hifi's in the house is what I say :)

Up Close n Personal

now that I've got a "ludicrously fast" interwebs connection YouTube has become my friend once again and is letting me post my vids

Here's one from back in February; Sheryl Crow - My Favourite Mistake @ The Scala In London - Note this is without ANY zoom. Any closer and I'd have been on stage!

Strange Name For A Girl

This is Zooey Deschanel [sister of Emily from Bones] who I have found to be a so-so actor [she was in that simply horrible H2G2 movie] but, who'd have thunk it, an actually quite good singer. She now an album out called "Volume 1" with some chap M. Ward working under the imaginative collective name of "She And Him"

Anyhew - enjoy
