Let it always be known that I was who I am

I went to see Laura Marling perform in a cupboard this week (banquet records in Kingston) which was delightful, she is such an amazing songwriter and beautiful to watch. I already had the album a few weeks back and listened to it loooads since - but I had to order another copy to get a ticket for the instore. I soo wish I'd ordered the special edition version now because I've just realised it has a DVD and bonus tracks from Johnny Flynn, Pete Roe and Alessi's Ark. . . so if anyone wants to buy that for me, then thanks in advance. Also, I collected my album without getting her to sign it - which is probably a bit weird of me.

Hooting, Hooting and Howling

Ahhh, Wild Beasts really were amazing last night - both Hayden and Tom's vocals are just stunning, I loved it. This is my new favourite track on the album after listening to it millions of times today...

Peggy Who

I reeally like this, new single from Peggy Sue, the 'I only came here to see you see me, I only came here to see you see me...' bit - I love that.

Blood on the table, Blood on the floor

do you feel his hands around your throat

new song ♥

My friends make noise

My friend's Nessus Red make industrial electronicy NIN/Cure/Patton inspired sounds (check their myspace - People Make Me Sick is good - it's a bit Marilyn Mansony) and tonight I'm off to see them scream, shout and sing at the Grey Horse in Kingston, so that will be fun.

Defeated

despite all your lovin'
and to spite your wicked ways
I never was one for believin'
and I found out that it pays

(I want this to be a country song)

Do I have nothing good left to say

I ♥ Dallas Green

but whyyy is he supporting Pink?!

and whyyy won't he come and play in London!

In my head

British redhead catwalk model and wife of multi-talented Jack White, Karen Elson, has released a taster from her debut album 'The Ghost Who Walks'. Produced by the man White himself at his Third Man Studios in Nashville, the album is due out this summer. Here's the video for an acoustic version of the title track of the album - a spooky, soulful murder ballad - which has been in my head loooads.

This week I will mostly be here...

Standing outside a bar, I placed my copy of Just Kids upon the ledge. As I looked up, above us was a picture of Patti. spiritual energies. Can't wait for Union Chapel.
