bombay bicycle club: shuffle video

I know I've posted and raved about this song already but this video makes me giggle so much. Human bicycle, anyone?

peggy sue: cut my teeth

 I wonder who the muse for this song was.

The first song to be released from Peggy Sue's second album, and it's growing on me. It's lost the layers of acoustic guitar that made me bob around to songs like Yo Mama and Fossils And Other Phantoms as a whole, and with my weakness for anything with acoustic guitar it's a real shame, but nevertheless I can't help going back and listening to it over and over again. The darker sounds from the electric guitar work well, especially coupled with the fierce and perhaps slightly morbid lyrics of "I cut my teeth, on his flesh, and watched him weeping, as I left". Acrobats, the title of their second album, will be out on the 12th September - another album to look out for that month.

P.S. You can download Cut My Teeth for free from Peggy Sue's website here.

viva brother

Brother have changed their name to Viva Brother to avoid legal action.

In other news, doesn't frontman Lee Newell bear an uncanny resemblance to La Roux?

I'm not sure who the more unfortunate is.

ben howard: the wolves

Perfect for a summery Sunday afternoon.

Waiting for sunsets and surfing in Newquay.

foster the people: pumped up kicks

For those few moments in my English exam this morning where I had mental blocks,

thank you Foster The People for filling the time with this song going round and round in my head. And for that euphoric moment knowing my school life is officially over.
