please, please, please
is my favourite song of the moment. its by this swedish band called the shout out louds who opened for le heads on their current almost ending us tour. i have listened to it like over 50 times now or so. i know, im very obsessive. 5 days of heads was pure fun. tho, i was exhausted by the end and the boys were beyond exhausted as well.... but they get to go home soon so its all good. pancakes and swimming! its needless to say that the sf show was best and the boys admitted to it as being the best on the entire tour as well. the energy in the audience was great and the boys were great. i love them so. they are both playing coachella which should be exciting and coming back in june to do another us tour. henry fonda again, kids. possibly spaceland. aye. hopefully theyll bring mystery jets along to play as well. i love them, love them, love them. and ted from sol has a frightening resemblance to phillykins jordan from the music. and i heart barry hyde.
dave's hair looks funnie.
bands confirmed for fuji rock. and of course le heads are playing as well.

have you seen the new spike jonze addy for adidas? its amazing. and karen o sings the sings. gaaaa. im so jealous of her. i really wish i was her. and you must see the making of bjork's triumph of a heart viddy. spike pets cats and bjork falls flat on her face. awwww.... i love them. i want them to be my mum and dad.
all the people @ sxsw are so lucky. i wish i was there but instead im here procrastinating. i have a video, 10 pager and a final on monday. greatness. but after that ill be done! then off to see my beloved maximo park lads + the chiefs. then bloc rockin' party. then home. then more maximo park. glorious.
please, please, please come back to me.....
Long time ago
The times we had were so and so
It was the worst date of your life
So i called you home your so called father was on the phone
he wasnt easy to ignore
But were all happy cause the streets there are always there for us
and its quite scary when you wake up in the same old clubs
Its getting darker and i know time wasnt meant for us
So wont you please please please come back to me
But yesterday when i saw your eyes in a black haze
You didnt even know my name
So i walked on pretending that you still belong
but it will never be the same no more
Its like a picture of a loved one in disguise or
its like finding something pretty energized and
if you want just hide your eyes behind your head
but you cant see me then you cant find me anywhere

the trailer for tim burton's corpse bride looks amazing. i have been waiting for this movie for ages. tho, it's still going to be while. johnny depp looks all neurotic and spazzy! and helena looks beutiful. i love her voice.

happy 2oth b-day to dave futureheads! i heart you!
so again, i should be working on my video project but i'm not. i keep on thinking about the heads. i think i have a disease. seriously. i really need to study. tofurky fund! oh, speaking of tofurkies. i'm vegan now. and time flies when you are a vegan. it's incredible.
coachella line-up is announced. the first day sucks. right. but new order! wee! the new single is totally amazing. i keep on listening to it. it's great.
but what's great is maximo park is playing w/ the kasier chiefs @ the troub!!! i was squealing when i heard about this. and i also had a really doofy look on my face for quite some time. but same day is bloc rockin' party..... but i think i choose the park and the chiefs.
i'm really excited to see in deep throat. oh baby. the scandal. oh and danny flippin boyle is coming to our school but the thingie is 21+. that is about the shittiest thing i've heard in my life. i also really want to know what people thought of crisipin glover's film what is it? apparently, it was screened at sundance. hopefully it'll come out in la la land soon. the trailer for the film looks really scandalous.
gaaaa! so the lurvely beckster played a "secret" show at the echo on friday. i went and it was tres fantastique!!!!!!! he played around 12 songs along with his band and girl dancer friend. the amount of stuff he had on stage was incredible since the echo is like uber duber tiny. he had cowbell, keytars, some brazilian instruments and bells and just craziness galore! and to my surprise, i saw a familiar looking boy dancing on stage with a cowbell which happened to be steve from whirlwind heat! amazing-ness. he is my favo heat-ster. beckster played a secret show yesterday as well but 't was 21+. sadness. apparently har mar played with him. gaaaa. i heart har mar. you should def. check out the videos on his site. they are amazing. i especially like the dui viddy. petco!!!!!! but yeah, i should be putting up pixies here soon. i heart bek.
pretti-ness.

i saw this amazing film yesterday called o invasor. it's brazillian and directed by beto brant. i totally loved the colour scheme in the film. his other films are great as well but i recommend this one.
in other news, i'm still totally obsessed with the heads. they are f'in brilliant. i really wish i could go to marry fuking poppins england to go see them on zeee nme tour.... so it goes without saying that i will be eating porridge with them when they come in march. 4 days of bum shaking. i really might faint this time. oh baby. so, they are brill and you should go see them too. oh and watch their hounds of love viddy on their website too. it's not too good of a viddy (not as bad as the music's breakin') but it's cute cos dave is cute and that's what matters. oh and pics on wireimage. jaff looks really cute.
03/10/05 - slim's, san fran. 03/11/05 - henry fonda, la. 03/12/05 - epicenter, san diego. 03/13/05 - mason jar, phoenix.
so bloc party's debut album, silent alarm is totally amazing. i reckon they are homies with the heads right about now. gaa. i miss them. but they come in march. playing at the troub. go see them too.
oh, oh, oh! and maximo park, my new obsession are playing sxsw. gaaaaaaaaa. i wish i could go. everyone and their mum is playing sxsw. boo school. i really heart the keyboard player and the singer's amzing moves. he must be homies with barry hyde.
poor johnny from razorlight is sickie. hope he feels better soon.
coachella this year is going to be really scandalous. the heads are playing, bloc rockin' party, razorlight, bsp, new order and yeah... oh baby.

i can see his hands, they were touching you all nite.
tis tres sad that thanxgiving break has come to an end. i've had tons of fun. yes, tons of fun. too much fun that it almost made me sing britney spears songs. actually i did but that will remain unspoken of. haha.
so have you seen the nme cool list? yeah, nme wipes the libertines' ass like it's going out of style. whatever. i still think that pete is a fuck tart. maybe not. maybe it's just a big ploy for their record label to milk as much money out of them as possible. who knows.

i'm happy that rossy futureheads and kele bloc party made it to the list. that's all that matters, frankly. oh, and johnny borrell. cos i guess he's johnny and he matters, always. i still don't know what eminem is doing in the list tho. meh.
speaking of borrells and rossys. the shows were fantastic. i really can't believe i was able to handle so much ass shaking courtsey of monsieur barry but i did. i'm alive. i still think the show in sf was the best in terms of the futureheads. they played and conquered everyone's hearts. we were tres blessed to see razorlight and them at such a small venue. even the guy from bbc was freaking out. apparently he's a huge razorlight fan. cuteness. it was oh-so-precious when ross snogged barry and jaff. i love them all. i can't wait to see them in jan et feb et maybe in apr. barry is hottness. tho, i fancy dave the drummer. and my new obsession with andy. the boy is hilarious. i always have a thing for drummers.
bloc party's monster eating, ass shaking album 'silent alarm' is coming out in jan in japan. wee. tho, i'm not going to be there. comes out on valentines day in the u.k. and in march in the u.s. oh baby.
i love the otters. they make the world a happier place.
what did he say ross?
said 'i don't like you, says so in here'
and i said 'what,' i says 'you piece of crap!'
