Matt and Kim
are rather lovely.
:D
matt and kim are the ACEST.
Are
Clogs any good? They are supporting The Books on tour.
clogs
are definitely good. Improv classical stuff, a lot of focus on like varying tones of bowing and plucking strings. Maybe what druids would play at their dinnerparties?
robyn
is ACE. i don't understand how she isn't more famous over here. i really like her new single. she did a few dodgy things in the mid-90s, but otherwise did great europop. yay.
that was for rrrachel
and
it STILL hasn't had a UK release. GRRRRRR.
ever seen 'show me love'
the film by lukas moodysson?
i saw it for the first time last week and it features the song 'show me love' by robyn.
i didn't let on to any of my friends that i remembered when the song was released and secretly like it.
yeah
show me love made her MEGA HUGE SUPER FAMOUS in america. sort of.
i only like her because she has the same name as me and isn't a transvestite (i hope).
are transvestites
usually called robyn?
yes. i'm not though. obviously.
when ever you see transvestites on jerry springer they're ALWAYS called robyn.

i *LOVE* that shop, they had everything i asked for yesterday, except one thing they'd sold out of.
yep I got the new york noise cd and the francisco one
only those two things though coz i'd already been to sister ray and bought other stuff. I do LOVE that shop though, it's brilliant. I wish I could spend all day in there :D
