Breaking the rules of my own blog yet again to do something new. This week instead of a playlist of songs that I have compiled I want to draw your attention to Trainwreck/Raincheck by Simon Bookish which has this week been made available to download by the man himself.
I have loved this album for a while but haven't really had a way to post it on here (without sneakily doing so in ways which are less than legal) and so now its about I want people to hear it. I think I like this album as much as I do because it is so very different to anything else I have on my mp3 player (that's right, I don't own an ipod, don't ask) and it definitely needs committing to on your first listen but when you do you find all these lovely little sounds, phrases and references. It is nice to put on and shut out the world listening to the surreal lyrics and stories told which almost reflect poetry more than simple pop lyrics. So definitely go and listen to it.
I am now presented with a really tempting opportunity to link into the next thing I want to write about now but we all know that this blog is usually a jauntily awkward gathering of thoughts so why change it now. Last week I went to see Patrick Wolf again (go try and google that link) which was as always fabulous and was especially nice to hear old songs bought back which I doubted I would hear live again or at all. This Weather never fails to make me have that grinning like an idiot feeling. I might add some pictures to this at a later point but currently the camera is upstairs and I am far too lazy to go fetch it.
Trainwrecks and Grinning,
