Pimping

One band - Van She. Very 80s-esque/electronicy/indie/psychedelic pop-rock. Great stuff. Check them out!

One website - Halo Wear - fabulous one off mini dresses, custom halterneck and corset tops, made to measure from old and vintage t-shirts. She also makes really cute bags and sells mac pigments in sample jars. Seriously, check out her shirts and mini-dresses, they are awesome. She's also probably one of the nicest people on the planet. This is proven by science.

Two things

1 - Biffy Clyro's Who's Got A Match bears a striking musical resemblance to Abba's Lay All Your Love On Me

2 - They just said on the radio that the McCanns are in talks to make a film about 'Maddy'. I can't find anything about this on the net as of yet. Is anyone actually surprised? I remember many people saying months ago, around the time of their visit to the pope, that the film wouldn't be far behind.

3¹ - EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn my radio on, Parka's Disco Dancer is either playing at that moment, or is played within 30 seconds of me listening. Either XFM are playing it every 5 minutes, or I'm being stalked by Parka.

Not that I mind, they're a rather excellent band and very good live. Still, it's a bit weird, especially in the light of the Small World Co-incidence that I saw Parka play with Suzerain ages ago, and when karfunked and I were exchanging music early on in our relationship, I sent him 'Disco Dancer' and 'Mr Optimistic'. And it turns out, kafunked went to school with the keyboardist.
