Stop Making a Movie of It (Ooooh it's Just My Style...)

It has recently come to my attention that I am not the only squaregirl who has a major soft spot for The Lightning Seeds, and their biggest hit single, "Pure." DJ practice always takes place at the home of squaregirl Kristen because, well, she is the only one of us currently in posession of DJ equipment, and has enough space to not make her neighbors want to call the cops when said equipment is being used at a high volume. Not only did she not complain about hearing the last minute of this song fade into the first minute of The Field Mice song, "Fabulous Friend" (so that the very best place to start the latter could be determined,) I believe that she sang along to, "Pure," (and simple... sorry) every time. This is one one of oh so many reasons that I am so happy that I work with this person. She also pointed out that the video was adorable so naturally I had to find it as soon as I got home. It is, in fact, adorable. Does anyone else have a bit of a crush on Ian Broudie after watching this?

Surely, watching this video is one of the better ways to begin one's Wednesday morning...

The Coastal Road at Night...

Sorry for the seriously infrequent posting this week. I could blame it on the holiday, the rain, and a myriad of other things, but that would be just plain sad. Truth be told this week has proven to be insanely busy/ tiring, next week promises to be more of the same, and I've become simply lazy when it comes to writing things about bands.

However, I will offer my attempt for all of us to end our week(s) on a lovely note. It has recently come to my attention that Robert (Bobby) Wratten of Trembling Blue Stars, as well as Northern Picture Library, and the Field Mice (!) stopped by the incomparable Dublab when he was visiting our fair city last year to record an acoustic set. The results are stunning. I could try to explain exactly why they are so stunning, but I could never do this performance justice regardless of how many descriptive words I use. Just listen here, and discover what I'm talking about for yourself. I hope this helps to give your weekend a fantastic start!
