Larsen B is splendid! (Very reminiscent of The Lady Transistor's "Albemarle Sound".) Thanks for the recommendation!

Matt! how's it going? are you still in brighton?i'll be there for the grizzly bear and beach house concert! are you going as well? we should meet!!

i can only imagine the pain inside their hearts for not being able to understand portuguese... if your boss wants he can pay me and i will translate haha. all for the sake of England. am i a nice person or what?

Thank you for your shout! I think you make a very good point lol. You have some great artists in your charts. Have a good one!

Christmas was great thanks? How's by you? I love National, Nick Cave and Sonic Youth! I'll have to have a listen to your other gems. Happy New Year!

That was just over two minutes of catchiness galore.

Google has served me well. Bring on the claps.

Eastenders under duress, actually I've been watching those too, so I can't comment too much, somehow it seems the thing to do. Deerhunter should be rather brilliant thing hopefully, I joined the gang (whatever that is) and finally got the chance to witness Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at the end of November. I can die a happy girl now *sighs* :) Also I took yr advice from last time and have finally (better late than never) started to listen to Arthur Russell. Amazing! I must seek out this Gino fellow, the recs are always most welcome.

Yay It's Matt! Happy Christmas to you. SantaMy says Ho ho ho! I'm alright thanks. Hope you had a nice time of it.

YYAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOO

That really is great news, glad to know :) Oh Essex is still standing so I guess it's alright like. Aww Tindersticks in a place of worship (aptly) no fair some people get all the geographical luck, it shall surely be glorious, if not demand a refund from 'the man'. Aas for the Kills, I last time (which was the first time and only time) I seen them was again at the Astoria when their first album came out which must have been er *counts fingers slowly one by one* 5 years ago so obviously was a very short set material wise, so am looking forward cery much to seeingf them 'these days' wonder if Kate Moss will turn up? These kind of matters keep me awake at night, I blame Essex. Also I slyly noticed (well, scrolled up) that you are seeing Aimee Mann at The indigO2. I went there about a month ago to see Daniel Johnston, surprisingly good venue, much more than expected easy o get to the front, as long bar purchases are kept to a minimum. I opened my purse and wept. parting with monies,

Arrrrrrrrr! Me hearty er *runs out of pirate speak* yes pretty good thanks, hope all has been good with You. Yr heaving looking events list made me lookm twice, and you get to see Tindersticks this time, yay for thhat. I'm excited to finally be seeing Nick Cave after a countless times of not :) Only so many times kicking ones self that can take place before the authorities are called. I breathe a sigh of relief.

*waves* :)

só sabes é dizer asneiras

ganda seca, man!

oh yes, that's very useful. i'm fine, chillin', like always. yes, it was my birthday on the 21th and you forgot it...unforgivable!

hey matt! how's it going dude?

Oh yeah Barry Adamson was supporting wasn't he? How received was his set?

Haha! That sounds just about friggin' fantastic, I would most probably gloat unashamedly too if witnessing such a spectacle, ooh Red Right Hand and two encores, niice *slowly conceals envious thoughts*

maybe i should be doing that right now. i bet that there's at least one little old lady struggling to get something from the top shelf...

i am! i've always been and i'll always be a giraffe.

bumpy roads indeed! ever been to cracow? it's prettier than warsaw; yet, warsaw's a better place to live: more edgy and - uhm - urban, if you know what i mean. anyway, how's UK these days?

you're no longer mateus, the pinguin?

The Turner Prize beckons, be warned.

If those two things were bottled they would be dangerous. Pretentiousness and romanticism that is. We have been there with dandelion and burdock clearly. Carbonated beverages can be a veritable nectar sometimes.

Let's not forget cream soda (with or without an ice cream scoop) and dandelion and burdock.

and the cunning plans, with Blackadder.

Actually who am I kidding it's still just as pompous in many ways, but it kinda made more lingering sense (I'm just a sucker for those kinds of films). I can probably be a little bit pretentious at times, mixed in with a bit of romanticism, a healthy dose of futility/barrenness , a substantial pinch of the awkward and lashings of ginger beer (oh and a happy ending)

In blackadder absolutely.

apart from it being utterly pompous, was just dull as dishwater in truth, long drawn out shots of no benefit to anyone (saying that I thought he employed those camera techniques well in elephant) but in this case just a steaming turd of a film.

I think the Buscemi thing says a lot about me strangely I dunno if have seen Ghost World but I could see easily how Thora Birch fell for the character of Seymour (his superior knowledge of vinyl records is a huge bonus I'd like to add) and is great in Trees Lounge, as Mr Pink too must not be discounted.

He's always been a bit of a hit and miss director with me over the years I remember a friend once strongly recommending me to watch 'Last Days' I won't say anything to mean about it in case you have seen and liked it. @_@

Ah Gus Vant Sant directed it too, watched Elephant no so long ago, far exceeded my expectations.

I like him very much (far more so than his elder brother, like duh) this film I did not know of, just had a gander on imdb (love that place) looks very watchable.

Well I watched a film called [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385056/]Lonesome Jim[/url] you may know of this, I kinda liked it in a bleak misanthropic way (at the start anyway) though some of it was a little close to the bone for that reason. Plus Steve Buscemi directed it and I'm quite a fan of his, actually do you think from a female's perspective that finding him attractive is wrong? hmmm.

Oh maybe it is too late for SS it craves attention.

not that I'm attributing any such feelings in the same way, that just triggered something locked away there (Plus the G wasn't nearly as thrilling as I'd have imagined) ;_;

Apologies for the delay, I ended up watching a film that I'd been meaning to er watch. I remember talk of your organ endeavours well, you made decent progress I believe. The sax would be pretty special, that reminds me randomly whatever happened to Kenny G? *ponders*

arthur russell is gorgeous, oh yes. and i'm glad you like my flickr. just finished a tiny litte update, if you feel like having a look. greets from warsaw

Arggh delayed ping pong response erm thats it I think with Foals the fact they changed producers a couple of times apparently as they though the first mix was too 'widescreen' or expansive something like that so they changed it plus introducing more horns and stuff, I like the brass.

likewise if uploading compressing and using tools such as mediafire/zshare are more efficient but I have no preference really whatever is good *inserts passive cop out reply* but yes I also very much enjoy sharing music with others I wouldn't have it any other way.
