I shall start with an issue that Neil brought to my attention today in the car.

MUMFORD AND SONS

No not a para-legal firm or bakery as the name suggests but a folk band to recently sprout out of London along with the likes of Noah and the whale, Laura Marling :),>

But on hearing this band for the first time a few months ago I was stricken with the resemblance between Mumford and Sons and Beirut, an American band with a most prominent eastern european and balkan folk flavour.

I have therefore come to the conclusion that Mumford and sons are a rip off of Beirut.

Even though they probably aren't.

MAS may never have even heard the amazing music of Beirut. But who knows. This is my blog. I can post whatever I want.

So yeah. This doesn't mean that MAS aren't a good band. I just feel that their style should be reserved for bands not originating from this country.

Because I actually have nothing against them. 'The Cave' and 'Winter Winds' are really good songs. But maybe the problem I'm really having here is that they're making this style of music that I love mainstream. *shudders*

I mean I heard them on radio 1. And radio 1 is awesome but I have never heard them playing Beirut (thank god) even though they are, like I said, being ripped off by MAS.

I guess i dont want this genre that i've just started to love to become popular and get ruined. :(

Hello.
I started my new job this week. Well I am still working for the same company. And I am still getting the occaisional bar shift. BUT! I am also now a proper Lightjock. And as of monday i will be popping into the Fubar once a week for "maintenance". Not entirely sure what that entails but im sure i'll find out.

So yeah. Exciting stuff. And the snow had cleared and the the weathers warmer and true its been raining a bit but I think after all the snow everyone can handle it.

Laura Marling has a new album. I strongly recommend it. If I could marry her lyrics I would just so I could listen to them forever.

Funniest Youtube video i've seen in a while......(click me)
If you've watched Potter puppet pals before then you'll know who he is. If not then (click me!)
It may be fake but I don't care.

Lets see what else. Been using the old fake tan moisturiser again and I've obviously not washed my hands properly afterwards cos now I have a stain between my fingers that gives me the appearance of a 40 year old chain smoker.
Bleugh!

Got my invite to spotify a few weeks ago which is pretty handy since this whole new E.U downloading law has leaked. Means when I eventualy stop, which I think I might have to eventualy. Depends how crazy our government will be at tracking culprits, I will still have free access to lots of awesome music. Just not on the go.

Anyway I am le tired. So I shall sleep before I fire ze misiles.

I would also like to raise that point that I dont like Glee and I think its crap.


That is all.
Gut Nacht.
