Yeah Right!

I'm not sure if it's because I'm suddenly excited for 'Pretty Sweet' to come out, but this morning I craved the 'Fully Flared' soundtrack for my Sunday newspapers & tea. It still sounds so good to me. Koston's killing it to Public Enemy, Guy's amazing comeback to Band Of Horses. All incredible. However, in terms of music, Marc Johnson's selection is and always will be my favourite.

Q Lazzarus 'Goodbye Horses' and Fischerspooner 'All We Are'. If you're going to make a one hit wonder, it might as well be something like 'Goodbye Horses' and although I've never got into Fischerspooner in a big way, this track is massive.

The entire soundtrack makes me really nostalgic for my second year of university, living in a shit hole in Stepney Green, blasting it out of my room, chain smoking out the window with my housemates. God I miss it.

See Marc's part below. Both tracks included and sounding perfect today.

Trill Murray

The Growlers are one of the very few bands that I didn't get to see at SxSW despite being on my immaculately planned schedule. (The other being Eminem, and I guess Lil Wayne if you discount hiding in the toilets during soundcheck as actually 'seeing' the show)

I'd mentally blocked this from my mind so that I wouldn't be sad, however I was reminded the other day after Patrick O'Dell posted this photo to his website. It's a picture of their tourbus because apparently they were sick of being pulled over by the feds. Amazing.


They also happen to be an excellent band, who I will eventually see live one day. Until then, I will just watch this on repeat.



Oh and totally sweet bonus....here's a video of them a few years back in Austin with the man, the mystery, the SxSW legend, BILL MURRAY getting down. Amazing.

HYFR HYFR HYFR

I was so exhausted to wake up and this week has been quite sad; leaving my job in order to start something new. I really needed something to cheer me up. Trust Drizzy & Weezy to drop this when I required it the most. Video for Hell Yeah Fucking Right. This is almost as good as when Wayne got release from the pen on my birthday. Sweet. Love baby Drake. Sad that Wayne wasn't at my Holy Communion. I knew I forgot to invite someone!

Rock & Rollercoaster


So during my time at SxSW, my pal and I were meant to do a bunch of interviews and press for the fabulous i-D magazine. Unfortunately no one seemed to really think we were press despite our badges. In fact hardly anyone believed we were actually English. So minus any interviews, we managed to put together a little review, along with some wicked street style photos taken by an i-D photographer.
