That's Carice van Houten. You may know her from Game of Thrones.

Heyyyy I'm not actually sure if this is something you'd like but I've discovered new music! Have only listened to a few songs so far but its very soundtracky and nice to listen to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u4Md_aXVJE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7quFOoUT08c

Great ! UNOD is in my event target haha, but I don't know when ! Otherwise, if you like Dub, did you ever heard about Dub Camp Festival in France ?

You have gone to the UNOD this year ?

Funny, i will be passin out soon

Really dig your taste man, major probs

what a good taste dude ! Peace and keep listenning good music

If you're interested, TWL has now successfuly moved over to a Wiki. :P http://writenow.wikia.com/wiki/Write_Now_Wiki Praise be to Flash.

Thats cool, thanks for that :) I remember you sending me the Black Sands album and I remember liking it, so I'll have to listen to those other artists too. And yesss, I have the Bob Dylan autobiography! I'm only about a quarter of the way in but its interesting. I always used to like the book On The Road by Jack Kerouac and I remember reading that it was the book that inspired him to go on tour, so to read his own experience in his own words is cool. But yes a list would be awesome, and I'll do the same if I find any that you might like

Well it would be longer than a year lol, whoops... probably around 2010-ish as jim james has played quite a few shows with various people I like over the years and he has a lovely voice and whatnot. I would have recommended them to you but I actually assumed you already listened to them! I guess not, lol. I don't know if you've heard this song but its one of my favourites http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsliytaETRg thats pretty much most of what i've been listening to and a lot of gillian welch (idk if you're familliar with her), and generally folk singers and stuff that i've been wanting to listen to for years but hadn't got round to listening to. oooh what trip-hop artists? I've only ever been really into one band that were described as trip-hop but have always wanted to find other music like that since

yeah i've been listening to them a bit :) lol a guy i know is in the support band for them so i went. they played some covers of the who and led zeppelin songs and the guitarist was wearing a kilt so... i did wonder haha. how are you anyway?

hey remember how you recommended your friend's band to me, Blackjack? this is a bit of a weird question but does their lead singer sound a little bit irish (i think irish) and have long hair? if so i think i might have actually seen them live a couple of weeks ago... lol

They killed off unions, but TWL might be returning on there as a forum (we applied for tha to happen). In the mean time you can post here if you like: http://writerslounge.freeforums.org/

dunno if you've ever listened to this guy but you might like him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LoJNYu_qUk sounds very elliott smith influenced

luv ur ava 8))

thank you! i didn't even notice haha. just realised i never replied to your comment from like a month ago, sorry about that, thought i did. anyway i like your friends songs a lot, lovely relaxing kind of music :)

i got the emails but have only just had a chance to listen to the songs. i like them a lot actually! i'm not suprised they're doing well, they're very good. will listen to your other friend's songs after :) that festival looks like so much fun. it seems like most festivals have that kind of atmosphere. i want to go to more of them. and yeah i'm the same, crazy busy most of the time haha. oh well.

ooh yes please that would be good. well i went to download and it was fantastic! not just the music but also the atmosphere, theres nothing like it and i'm definitely definitely going next time. how've you been? :)

oh its kara.bowen@hotmail.co.uk. yeah i'd love to hear it! that sucks about gigs. my nearest venues are usually sheffield or nottingham (but i hate nottingham) which arent really far away but it can be difficult getting home the same night so i usually end up crashing somewhere haha. i think i'm gonna try and spend money more on going away to different places rather than shows now though, unless they're important ones. whereabouts is the dub festival? that sounds cool

i have no shame about my love of busted :P ooh thats cool, whats the name of your friend's band? oh yeah i'm the same way about metal. i don't like the ones that are too screamy but some of the ones i've got into lately (rammstein, iron maiden... etc) are genuinely good musicians and singers. i do prefer standard classic rock like black sabbath and led zeppelin and things though. yeah travelling for gigs is expensive lol. the only one i've seen this year is oberst and it was down in london, that got expensive. arent there many gigs nearer to where you are?

yeah i'm trying to get into a lot of different type of artists but lately i havent really had much free time so i've just been listening to the same music as usual. but i will one day get round to listening to everything ever, its a life goal haha. i'm going to download festival in a couple of weeks though so i'm trying to expand my knowledge of metal. oh yeah you did mention jurassic 5, the songs i heard were good! ahh i always end up at concerts on my own. but its worth it if you love the band. you know i'd go to all the bands with you if they werent in scotland lol

yes i like it a lot actually! please ignore the fact that our compatibility is getting lower, i sort of destroyed my itunes and now the music i listen to that actually gets scrobbled is quite limited. i'll try to get properly into dubstep at some point though :) what else have you been listening to lately?

I would love to hear them... but i can't see any link haha. i will make a youtube account though. could you send me the link to your playlist again? lol

high? oh no! yeah i've been listening to the same few bands over and over haha. i don't think i have a youtube account but i can search for things if you have recommendations :D

well i'm not actually all that familiar with them but someone recommended the album Nautical Sabbatical and i had a listen and it was pretty good

have you ever listened to a band called River City Extension?

I like them!

good point! i do try though lol

haha no its ok... to be fair i should probably broaden my horizons a bit actually lol

ahh yeah i just downloaded greasemonkey too and it still isnt working, but i think thats just me doing something wrong because i'm technologically challenged... computers just don't like me very much haha. downloaded that album though and i'm really liking it! i did notice our musical compatibility has dropped to "very high" and i think thats terrible

oh i think i've tried to use that youtube scrobbler before and couldnt get it to work for some reason. will download it again though. very nice! i'm quite jealous lol

installing what? i've been very good thanks :) and you?

It's all good, I couldn't even find a working link anywhere so having to wait 15 minutes in between downloading single songs is still a step up.

Yo, can you hook me up with a download link for Respek BA's The Secrecy Act?

oh i like beirut! i don't have any of their albums but i'm listening to that one now. yeah i was holding out for more uk dates but it sounds very unlikely so i'm just going to the london one anyway, will probably be worth it

dude, conor oberst in london in february!!! are you going?

ermm probably but i'll let you know when i think of them haha. i do think you should get the "more adventurous" album by rilo kiley if you havent heard that one already. its their best album according to nearly everyone (except me because i think the execution of all things is better, but there are still some great songs on there). also jurassic 5 are great, thanks for that

yeah i only have 2 of his albums but the wild hunt is really good. the new one is supposed to be good as well but i havent listened to it yet. and no i havent but i shall look them up now...

have you heard the tallest man on earth? (not literally the tallest) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibEwxlV1ac4 i think you'd like him

i think its something we were talking about last week and its just completely gone from my memory haha. i'm halfway through and i really really like this actually! i've been looking for bands similar to this for ages. thanks!

oh cool well both the full albums are on youtube so i'll have a listen now. is this the right self titled one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcJ3Inbr6G4 i had some music to recommend to you as well but i can't remember what it was :/

oh wait thats a lie, i have rumours somewhere. emphasis on "somewhere" haha i don't think i ever got a chance to listen to it properly... is it worth re-downloading?

yeah i've listened to a few songs and liked them, i've never got round to getting any of their cds though. anything you'd recommend?

its alright lol, i'm on the way so text me or something when you're nearly there

nah 8 is fine

ok well i'm free any time after that so whenever you've finished :)

whoops i hope you're still online haha, the earliest i can get there is about 6.25?

where is easiest for you? i'm getting a lift to sheffield so i can meet you wherever haha. also the place i was talking about is closed tuesdays so we may have to wander around a bit and find a pub

haha its ok, i think i listened to the whole album once and forgot about it. i know a place you might like, its £5 to get in but drinks are ridiculously cheap and it has all these different rooms with different music and stuff and its quite good

the two new desaparecidos ones are great but theres this one as well if you havent heard it http://wchun.tumblr.com/post/28166622418/conor-oberst-common-knowledge-live-2012-07-24
