quicktimeee.

it's my 18th birthday tomorrow, woooo!

onto the music:

last week i came across a young man named James Severy on the Radio 1 Unsigned podcast. he's a London singer/songwriter who happens to make some very lovely noise. i know everyone is wondering why on earth we would need another singer/songwriter from London but if this man is anything to go by then we need lots more of them! he is currently signed to the fantastic Art Goes Pop label, so check him out on myspace.

talking of singer/songerwriters, i was kindly sent a couple of new tracks by Some Body. and they are sounding brilliantttt.

Some Body - It's A Red Light

i've decided to go back to Sendspace. i can't be doing with YSI anymore; it's making me crazy.

night's not over yet

so I have just got back from seeing Modernaire at the Dry Bar. it was fabulous, but I don't really want to start saying how much I love them because I need to save that for April 15th when they play at Joshua Brooks in Manchester as part of a gig for my fanzine.

To My Boy's album has leaked. and I've been listening to it almost nonstop for the past 24 hours.
I'd post up 'Model' however I don't know how appreciative the record label or the band would be. I'm pretty sure that's going to be the next single so you'll just have to be patient to hear its genius-ness.

tonight I'd like to talk about Clarky Cat. I can't see why they won't hit the big time in the next twelve months. they've been pushed underneath the guise of "new rave" and all that goes with it (neon things, glowsticks, more neon things, logo tshirts, erm.. more neon) BUT they aren't really "new rave", despite their appearance (they wear neon things). they are much more guitar rather than keyboard centered. fresh vocals from the band are matched with short, punchy guitar riffs and a bassline that will leave you trembling. I love it. the following track is exactly that: short and hard hitting. anyone who does not want to dance to it must be on crack. or not on crack. one of the two.

A Reason

I am also going to chat a bit about Some Body. he's one lad from daaaahn saaafff, and he does wonderful things with a computer. he's what Get Cape Wear Cape Fly would sound like if he was smacked round the head with the entire genre of electronica. yeah, like that. but even better. managed by boy-about-town Sahil, I'm sure that Some Body will be in all the right places at all the right times and quickly work his way to where he belongs: in all of your hearts and heads.

this is getting quite fun, all this blogging. let's hope my enthusiasm doesn't run out too soon.
