This is not a proper blog. I mostly ramble about my current obsessions.
In the infamous words of Ted Dwane, "I heart most things except meat in a can". Welcome to this and please stick around if you can deal with the crazy. <3
Every year in Australia January 26th is better known as Australia day or in some circles Hottest 100 day. The previous year's most popular tracks are decided upon by a public vote. Now I don't have the best track record remembering to vote, or using all of my ten votes. But this year I voted with 8 hours to spare and I even chose 10 songs. Without further ado I present to you the songs I have voted for in no particular order.
1. Boy & Bear - Feeding Line
2. Owl Eyes - Pumped Up Kicks {Like A Version}
3. Noah And The Whale - L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N
4. Arctic Monkeys - Black Treacle
5. Cults - Go Outside
6. Lana Del Ray - Video Games
7. Lisa Mitchell - The Ship Song {Straight To You: Triple J's tribute To Nick Cave}
Is it a band? Is it a film? Is it a film about a band? As I mentioned in my last post, I love me some God Help the Girl. An exciting side project of Belle & Sebastian's front man, Stuart Murdoch.
They are currently crowd sourcing the funds through Kickstarter to make the film. They are now just two thirds of the way to their funding goal and it is going to be tight but I really, really hope it comes off as I think it will be an amazing film with beautiful music. Also I really want my favourite band back working on their own material and touring.
There are loads of amazing prizes which you can pledge for too, from participating in the film to film showings and rare records. Sadly I can't run off to Glasgow for a tour of the city with Stuart as I will be being a very good uni student and finishing off my degree. I would have loved a couple of guest list tickets had I a spare $500 lying around. But I have pledged to receive one of the posters used in the film by the band and a digital copy of the film which will be pretty exciting to receive when the time comes. Pledge if you can!
And now a couple of my favourite tunes off their self titled album (buy it, it is amazing).
