Why Don't You Close The Door, And Shut The Curtains

no wonder i like stripy t shirts so much, it's pirate apparel!

THE FIGURINES NEW ALBUM IS OUT NOW AND AVAILABLE IN GERMANY, DENMARK AND SWITZERLAND. IT IS CALLED "SKELETON". SO GO TO GERMANY, DENMARK OR SWITZERLAND AND GET IT. IT IS FAST AND WHINEY AND IT WILL MAKE YOU THINK, "SAY WHAT?" AND THEN WANT TO SHAKE YOUR BONES. HAHA IM ALREADY IN GERMANY I CAN GET IT RIGHT NOW IF I WANT.

There are some interesting things happening in the world. Yesterday was John Peel Day. I didn't know til it was too late...Although, for some reason I was thinking about Pulp alot. Tonight there is an Elliott Smith tribute night. I am scared to go because it is being held in a venue called "Bastard". At the moment in Berlin, on the other side of town in Charlottenberg, there is an exhibition of photographs of James Dean. Dead people, yay! Also recently was Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Audio Bullys have a lovely new song out. It is different to their other songs that I have heard. It is about looove. It has violin and tinkly piano bits. These contrast nicely with the singing: a gravelly eastender barman type voice. "Everyfing I say I say for you. Everyfing I do, you do it you". You can totally listen to it here. Lavly Jabbly.


oK, is everybody making new songs that are different to their other songs that I have heard? What is this "Juicebox" that the Strokes have made? I am not sure. I am enthralled by the duh na nuh na guitars...Julian's "fast singing" is atrocious.


OK AFTER YOU HEAR SKELETON YOU WILL PROBABLY BE THINKING, "OH JESUS, WHERE CAN I GET ANOTHER RECORD BY THE FIGURINES??!!" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WELL, THEN IT WILL BE PRETTY EASY FOR YOU TO FIND ANOTHER RECORD BY THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE ANOTHER ALBUM, CALLED "SHAKE A MOUNTAIN". I WUOLDNT SAY THEY WERE GOOD IF THEY WEREN'T.

So so so so soooooooooo Liz my Poppin poppet! How the hell are ya!! I stumbled across this EXCELLENT blog and realised it was a pretty deadly façon to communicate with you!!! You are in Berlin!!! MAD i cannot believe how long it has been - since funk up and we all went back to yours!!!!

I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU SAW STARS!!!!
I am actually hideously jealous E.X.C.E.P.T that since i have moved back to Paris (not to mention Oxegen) i have seen Weezer, Damien, White Stripes, Rock En Scene ( where i fulfilled twoMASSIVE ambitions, i saw Hot Hot Heat AND the Pixies and therefore my life was complete!!!) also saw Hal randomly last week and met them just stumbling throught the crowd before the gig BUT perhaps the best gig so far was last night when i had the immense pleasure of seeing Brendan Benson live!!! Wow, WOW WOW WOW he was incredible!!! It was incredible and YOU should have been there. We also (as if the gig wasn't good enough) got the chance to speak a little to Brendan after the gig which was super sympa! Quel charming man indeed!

But anyway- how are you?Things sound pretty darn good in Berlin!!!!
