It’s been a while
How have all of you been?
No new babies? No recent marraiges?, apologies for snubbing you all, I’ve been a little busy growing older and maybe a little more mature, thankfully the bald spots (yes there’s more than one) havn’t really grown despite my new more mature and (dare I say it) improved self……. Yes, I am a little less lurid, a little more sane and a little less angry,,,,,, don’t ask why ….. it just happens sometimes and is becoming a trend (mark has lost his shwarma fetish and has adopted a healthy life style, why can’t I decided I don’t want to write for free anymore and would rather spend my time sampling a new cereal everyday and filling my days with Bio-shock 2)
This will probably be my last post for a while but it’s only my second post in which I actually talk about my self …… being self centered is great, no wonder most of the Kuwaiti public do it 24/7. It’s therapeutic ’cause you get to complain and think that your opinion counts ……….
Having said that there are a couple of posts I’ve been meaning to write including my penis farts one, the prostate cancer needs no cure one and why it makes no sense that taking out your stomach will cure you of diabetes………..
Joy Williams- Sunshine
yes, it’s that song from grays anatomy that no one can seem to find …………
Laura Gibson- Spirited
I like her ……. but she needs to either add a second guitar or a bass somewhere …….
The Sun- So Long Sundays
They have a kickass percussionist (drummer) and know how to write songs ….. nuff said.
Ofcourse another good thing about this band is that if/when you buy their album (yes, I buy any music I enjoy and most of the music I post here I have an original copy of, most of these bands bairely make ends meet, this isn’t bon-jovi or ozzy osbourne of puff daddy, these are people who just got signed for the most part) you get a CD and a DVD and the DVD includes DRM free versions of their videos and mp3′s which I think it awesome.
Ellie Goulding – Sleepyhead (feat. Starsmith) (Passion Pit Cover)
Album is still pending,
Hope it sounds just as good. When I grow up and find someone who can sing I want Starsmith to produce my record ……
Said The Whale – Some girls name ……
Hailing from Vancouver and barely signed this band is probably going to be relatively famous, if only ’cause their EP seems to be designed to be part the soundtrack to this years big hit romanitc-comedy, probably starring brad pitt or gerard butler or someone of the sort.
Mr.Gnome – Sit up and Hum
I have no info on this band but I really like the way they sound ……. have a good day everyone …..
Chew Lips – Slick

Yes, that video is them playing live in their living room and you’ll have to take my word for it when I say that they sound better on stage. Trio originally formed in late 2008. Their sound is very unique and i like alot of their stuff but I have a feeling it won’t last for too long.
For one thing they have no real choruses in their songs and for another they seem to be rising waaay too fast for an indie group……. very strange …… oh well at least their album is good and most tracks are downloadable from their website for free.
(yes …….. I did use it as a ringtone for a while ….. her voice gets to me …… )
Broadcast2000 – Rouse Your Bones
More famous for songs they’ve written for Hollyoaks (U.K. Soap) and various soundtracks (Yes Man being the most recent) and adverts, the best thing about their album has got to be the fact that it just sounds righ. It sounds like a group of people sat down and ironed out every aspect of every song.
Please BUY the album ,,,,, most of them have kids to feed …..
The Floor is Made of Lava – Happy Monday
