Blimey yes, those US State abbreviations are COMPLETELY meaningless to us I'm afraid and always give me horrible flashbacks to [url=http://www.eblong.com/zarf/periodic/periodic.png]science exams[/url]. Actually that might not be the real one, heh. Well that sounds like a fun trip!

Very good thanks, Puds has just been down for a London visit which was all very lovely. How about you?

Hi Brad! I just found out that Bloc Party have a [url=http://www.last.fm/user/blocparty]last.fm profile[/url]...! I'm Medium with them, how do you shape up?

Yeah, haven't found a more descriptive and all-encompassing avatar in years...hehe.

Hi, thx for dropping by! I love your iTunes library tool, it's amazing! :)

I know, I have strange, mixed feelings about it. People have been going on about the 'death of the album' for ages. It hasn't happened yet, but if Muse do pull this off it might start a trend...

Some very interesting [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_7292000/7292404.stm]Muse news[/url] here - what do you reckon to it?

Not yet, it's coming up tonight! Can't wait... I was so pleased that rubbishy Noriega got kicked off last week I can't tell you!

I think that's fair enough-we've talked before about having more music than you can absorb properly. I've seen journals on lastfm with like Top 200 albums of the year & I'm thinking damn how many did they download in total!

I did get them, yes - sorry, I thought I must have told you about them at the time. Ah well, there's still Goldfrapp/ Mum/ Dears/ Herculean goodness awaiting you at my place. :)

Wow, that link to your itunes is impressive! Is there an easy way for me to do that too?

Don't you have those roadsigns in the States: TAKE A BREAK – ZERO 7 CAN KILL. We do.

btw, I'm intrigued by your question to Puds, and my guess would be... you were listening to Zero 7 whilst driving? ;-P

Right-o! Yes, I have [album artist=Múm]Finally We Are No One[/album] and OMG you don't have Felt Mountain! They'll both be on my Disk within a few hours for you. Do you want [album artist=Goldfrapp]Black Cherry[/album] as well? That one's more on the Supernature side of things. And yes, we DO have that phrase, and I hope I've answered all your questions thoroughly ;D

Prompt, eh? Typing as quickly as I can! :)

Is this a new resolution waiting for proper release dates? It's wise I guess-yes all good thank you-08 seems to be very good for new music imho-work & home are fine & I'm playing with a new camera-which is fun!

Thanks for your support, we'll build you a statue in the park. And hey, not much is going to beat your current quote, I'm afraid. :)

Is there any way I can doublethink the fact that (a) Zero7 annoy me these days, and (b) they're at #152 in my overall chart? That puts them between Danni Minnogue and 2ManyDj's: two artists who are a bazillion times more interesting than 'ver 7. I blame my old colleagues in England for this anomaly.

New guillemots is interesting! How did you find the Elbow album?

Um... sorry about the Zero7 rant. I was at work, saw you mention their name and attacked! It's just that one of the designers here has a penchant for putting on cool, smooth, chilled wallpaper music that basically makes everyone feel like they're in Starbucks. Zero7 are one of his faves.

Wow great, I'll get grabbing cheers!

I had about 12 hours of repeat plays in the end!! Haven't scrobbled them all yet, but yes the system worked! :)

Make them feel loved, that's all I ask! If I weren't seeing a titular Icelandic chanteuse come April, I'd be seething with jealousy, but as it happens... X^} Do you have the instrumental version of Clowns from Seventh Tree? Without Alison's vocal it goes from very pretty to absolutely beautiful!

Ugh! Zero7 are snoozesome coffee-table music of the most yawnsome order. Even if Sia's voice is quite nice actually. Not that you asked, just felt the need to say. Er.. hello! :)

Seventh Tree is truly lovely. My first thought was 'Could this be the English [album artist=Air]Moon Safari[/album]?

You never told me that Jon Stewart made sure that Glen AND Marketa got their thank you'd at the Oscars... but against that songwriting, who else would win??

Lovely, thank you. And I'm impressed with your integrity on the others. :)

Did you pick up the Clinic and the Elbow? - I haven't listened to those yet, hope they're good.

Thanks! I'm SORT of here - feeling very achey and dehydrated after the best part of two days on and off airplanes. Might be keeping some odd hours for a day or two!

Hi Brad! Watch out, I'm back in action. :) Hope you're well. I picked up the CD of [album artist=The Dears]End Of A Hollywood Bedtime Story[/album] in Oz, please help yourself from my Disk...

Nope- have the latest version of iTunes for Windows, and the latest client of Last.fm... still no such luck :(.

Why, thank you! And what cute little ladies you have!

:-D Can't wait to get my hands on that Goldfrapp! Haven't seen Idol yet this week, will be watching all the repeats on TV at home on Sunday afternoon... but we hear that Noriega sang Tainted Love - ha! and that Hernandez used to be a nude lapdancer in a gay club - HA!

Ha - lovely new photos of the lasses, I see you've got Genevieve's priorities sorted out at an early age! :D

That makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, brad. :)

If you enjoy Múm, I believe that you would appreciate them very much.

why she ever sings anything but janice joplin or grace slick is beyond me, the votefortheworst.com folks are backing her so we'll see.
