1.How did you get into no.29?
Snow Patrol: i think i got hold of a copy of 'Songs For Polarbears' after my girlfriend recommended it to me. Wasn't long before The Final Straw was released.

2. What's the first song you ever heard by no.22?
Eisley: That would be 'Telescope Eyes', the EP version not the (IMO inferior) album version.

3. Whats your favorite lyric by no.33?
Pixies:
"there was a guy
an under water guy who controlled the sea
got killed by ten million pounds of sludge
from new york and new jersey"

4. How did…

Like the FOTL review below, this is one i penned a while back and bunged on another music site. Transferring it here for the (more) masses.

Hold On Now, Youngster

Cardiff's Los Campesinos (meaning "The Peasents" in Spanish) were one of british music's best kept secrets, with their EP Sticking Fingers Into Sockets stirring up quite a buzz in the underground scene, landing them a slot supporting Broken Social Scene in 2006.

So, it now comes to their debut album (released in February). The album reinforces one fact; that they are an immensely talented septet, but they save their true…

I've had this album for some time, but i wrote this a few days ago for another music website so i thought i might as well throw it here too!

Curses

When welsh noise merchants mclusky split in 2005, it heralded the end of an era which gave us the wonderful mclusky Do Dallas and the wonderfully titled My Pain and Sadness Is More Sad and Painful Than Yours and The Difference Between Me and You Is That I’m Not on Fire. Then, in autumn 2006 a band appeared with little notice, consisting of ex-mclusky members Andy "Falco" Falcous (vocals,…

That's a real toughie - each album has some real highs and…

Arctic Monkeys – Favourite Worst Nightmare

There are many bands that you could class as “marmite” bands – you either love them or hate them. The Arctic Monkeys fall into that category, but the “love” category seems to hold the larger population. After the whirlwind success of their debut Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, they came to the second hurdle. Like being at University – it’s the second year, time to stop arsing about and start showing us what you’re really made of. People will be ready to shoot them down, even though they are…

Yeah, blatent plug for Shine On, a Pink Floyd forum i run. Feel free to check us out and join up - plenty going on for fans, and lots for people just wishing to chill out too.

Catch you there! :)

At work tonight, i've just met and got the autograph of David Gilmour!

Nicest person you could meet, and more than willing to sign his name for me.

I'm one happy dude right now.

Funeral For a Friend - Shepherds Bush Empire. 16th May
Supported by Johnny Truant, Fightstar

Public Transport. It's known for being a bit unreliable, and never being there when you want it. This occasion it meant that i missed out on seeing Johnny Truant's albeit short supporting slot, which came as a shame as i was quite looking forward to hearing them, but from word of mouth they impressed the increasing crowd at the Empire.

The time came for Fightstar to try to show what the hype was about. They were out on a mission - this re-sheduled…

I thought i'd might as well post something here…i'm nbot going to be using this journal, as i already have a main journal that can be found here
so, to sign off…
