You can take the boy out of the indie...

Three things:
1. I've had the new Arab Strap album on repeat for the last couple of days. It's easily the best thing they've done. Aidan has found wuv and is grudgingly optimistic about it. All still partially cloaked in a fug of stale beer and last night's used condoms of course but he's positively joyous in places. Hell, he even SINGS for most of it.
2. Listened to Seamonsters this morning and am now unreasonably excited about seeing The Wedding Present next week. I hope they'll be as good as they were the last time I saw them, at the late lamented Duchess in Leeds. In 1993. Argh.
3. As noted in
catsgomiaow's poll, my favourite Xmas song right now is No Xmas For John QuaysLittle Drummer Boy. What I didn't say is that this is almost entirely due to Low's uber-indie slo-core version of the song.
It appears that November has made me come over all indie. And with no Poptimism on the horizon to cure me either. Help!

Date: 2005-11-09 02:32 pm (UTC)This is all more fraggle than grebo, btw. Especially the stripy tights.

Date: 2005-11-09 03:33 pm (UTC)But NFAD are far more fraggle/grebo than anything else, their being from Manchester doesn't save you-- ahahahahahahahaha.
*goes to hide all photos of self from uni, since in most of them she is wearing PWEI t-shirts*
