Ooh German! I used to study that, I really liked it. The alphabet with Russian is the least of the difficulties - It's quite easy to learn the alphabet really, but the grammar is a different matter completely, haha... When I'm not studying I'm from Devon :) Where are you studying/from? Don't suppose you have MSN? If you do then let me know your email address and we can chat some more.

SUPER compatibility rating! Awesome! Hello :) As for your question - why I study Russian - I ask myself the same thing on a regular basis... I don't really know. I've just always been interested in the history & literature of Russia I guess, so I thought 'why not?'... It's going pretty well though so I think it was the right choice! :D What about you, what do you fill your time with, good music taste boy?

Also you should forward me the entire SKWBN catalogue.

Stop loving gash tracks by shit bands.

you're a cunt

Thing is, you gave me a list of bands aaages ago and I liked them all, that's what I'm getting at. Just started to smell a conspiratorial rat when this site started to recommend Coldplay, Bloc Party and Snow patrol all the time...pah.

I'm still not sure why our music match is so comparatively low. I'll have a go at this 'radio player' thing soon.

danke :) i must agree, everything on your playlist makes me smile (:

i did try and email it, that's the thing. yup i am, http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=759315530&v=feed#/profile.php?id=759315530&ref=name, x

i tried to send you '1' but i got a failure notice. strange! yay for the apples in stereo. x

i'm really enjoying the apples in stereo, as you can probably see from my charts, hehe. thanks for that! yeah, that's a fair point. plus if you're unhappy doing something, what's the point. i'm at university cos i wanted to study the subjects further not because i felt i had to. austrailia will be fab too. i'm hopefully going to do a project in vietnam next year with my uni for charity, i can't wait. x

i didn't used to be a fan of sonic youth but now i love them. listen to 'daydream nation', that's what got me into them. i'm at royal holloway (surrey - near windsor/staines) studying english and french...austrailia sounds cool. i've always wanted to go. x

oh no oh my- the party punch. yeahhhhhh. my last fm doesn't work on my computer any more so it doesnt scrob any of my recent music. arghhhh

glad you enjoyed joy zipper. they sound quite like the velvet underground and sonic youth i find! i am yet to check out your recommendations i'm afraid, will do so when i get a chance! yeah, i'm at uni. are you at uni as well? x

hehe, sorry! those dancing days are fab. i will check those bands out tomorrow. give broadcast, yelle and joy zipper a listen :) x

cheers! your profile is pretty sweet too. got any recommendations for me?! x

They are hey! How did you get hold of them over in the UK? That's impressive!

yup, awesome, isn't it? i'm addicted to this song, haha

Indeed, really good!!

ahh my favourite is easily Anthems for a 17 Year Old Girl... because it's just so gorgeous! reminds me of lots of happy summers in the sun (o: also have a copy of an acoustic version of almost Crimes which is wonderful. Yes I do! I'm vacefio at gmail dot com ^_^ xx

I don't photograph as much as I used to.. I learnt how to do film processing and developing last year on my art foundation course which was really good fun... but expensive, yeah! I've got a digital SLR which is great but I don't use it as much as I should at the moment... got a flickr account though so everything goes on there (o: xx

Oooh really? Well for goodness' sake get yourself You Forgot It In People because it really is wonderful. I'll have to get myself some Crystal Castles as well then! Do you do much photography or is it just a sort of hobby? xx

Ah right, I'm right in the center of Cheltenham (o: Ahh no You Forgot It In People is their best album - Anthems for a 17 Year Old Girl was on repeat for a looong time! What's the verdict on Crystal Castles by the way? My mate is always telling me to listen to them! xx

Hello there. If you're interested, The Inconsolables have two rather good new demo tracks on their MySpace page, nestling there for your (or, indeed, anyone else's) listening pleasure: Hoverfly (next single) and Falling From Grace (possible single after that). Hurrah.

Ah well that can be forgiven then (o: Well I sort of paint and design and photograph and stuff quite a bit and I've been lead to believe that this constitutes such a title! Also big woop for Broken Social Scene..

A man of few words? Hi (o:

fucking crystal castles. get a life wanker.

haha. sounds like a plan! everyone seems to be moving to australia right now am i missing something?! where will you be working that isnt bangor? i just finished my first year..glad to be done with it. 4 months clear to do whatever the heck i want, it is wonderful.

halloO! im good..having a hard time atm making myself revise for my last exam tomorrow haha are you done with yours?

lol ive only been to the on eon brick lane? that place rules. im pakistani i just moved here for uni. mostly moved around a lot hah long boring story

ohh i might know him. im doing southeast asian studies/management. so you come down to london often?

yeup im at soas in london!

oh thats pretty cool. i will be in sweden and pakistan :)

nope..i wont be in the country. are you?

NEW SLANG. actually not at all. it owuld be a tie betweeeen...the past and pending/one by one all day/pressed in a book. but i love everything. whats yours?

haah. thanks, yo. <3 the shins forever and ever. your list is a bit good too!

I committed the cardinal sin of fucking about with an MP3 player while driving, scraped the nearside front panel against a wall... So yeha, fele like a right bellend. Just a few scratches though and a bit of mess on one wheel. Mate, recommend me some exciting new music.

Sounds like a plan to me. Had a bit of music therapy yesterday driving back here...after I hit that wall, anyway :P

your top 3 is pretty awesome also. they probably feature somewhere in my top 20. like black mirror quite a bit eh?

You heard of 'Channel Light Vessel'? Very electric, eclectic and actually shockingly good. Amazing the gems my dad's got hidden away in his mostly-70s-prog-rock collection!

There I was about to take you up on your mental, arrogant Facebook suggestion when I couldn't help but notice it's all Digitalism - and half of it's one track. Same thing again?!

Yeah, they did indeed get it right. I see you're obviously a big fan with five plays in 22 mins...I didn't think it could record multiple scrobbles of one track! :P

That's actually a damn good tune, if a little lo-fi. The question is, how do you stumble across such aural goodness? I'm crap at finding new music!

Don't use iTunes mate! I'd have thought we'd have more in common you kno. Might give that 'My Radio' thing a blast. It any good?

A bit of this and a bit of that. That's me! This last.fm thing sems really buggy. Misses loads of tracks out for me.

'Sup buddy, it's Tom off the Facebook, guy whose music horizons you've broadened over the months!

How-do. As you've been listening to the lovely Help She Can't Swim recently, I thought you might like my squonky synthpunk pop troupe, The Inconsolables. If so, brilliant! If not, sorry to bother you. All the best, Ed.

Normally at this point in the set, I tell you all to go home and form a band. But maybe you're like me, and not very muscical. So you don't have to form a band, but at least write a fanzine, or an article for a magazine that I'd like to read, or a book I'd like to read, or a sitcom I'd wanna watch, or a film that I'd buy a cinema ticket for. I don't want to sound like a hippy. I don't.
