5 minutes to go and still no sign of anything particularly Satanic I see.

Although my XBox360 patched itself earlier in a particularly sinister way...

It's from a game called Dragon Quest, and no I have no idea what this scene is all about...

I was meant to go and see The Boredoms tonight, but through a combination of me being late and good old engineering works on the tube making it almost impossible to get to Shepherds Bush in a reasonable amount of time I didn't make it. This doesn't bode well for the week ahead...

Bracing myself for the week ahead...


Here are a few pictures from the weekend, John's got some much better ones on his site over here.

It's Friday, and since I'm not drunk at some sort of sporting event I'm going to continue my effort to make Friday more musical...

Today I have a track from the new EP by Jesu. This really should be listened to.

However if you want something a bit more poppy I've just stumbled across a new band called ¡Forward, Russia! (although all the hip indie kids probably knew about them months ago, I've been listening to too much experimental metal recently), there new album Give Me a Wall is really very good indeed. Think Bloc Party but with balls.

essential...

Jesu - Silver
Just brilliant, the only problem I have is the disc makes me want more. Here's the title track, if you don't like it you are just plain wrong... Really, really wrong.

MP3: Silver

It's been a busy couple of days, I was at the cricket on Friday (which gives me a great excuse to show off the panoramic mode on my phone camera)


Then, after that went to see the Dresden Dolls at the astoria. Pretty good gig, even though I was probably a bit too pissed by then to properly enjoy it, and I got into an argument with some angry lesbians which was totally not my fault - although I had been drinking for about 10 hours before so I could be wrong there... Hmmm.

Anyway, if you are curious about what they sound like here's a clip of them doing a cover of War Pigs, don't worry it's not more black metal.




Saturday involved more drinking whilst watching some entertaining football speaking from a neutrals point of view, and today - well, my body just gave up on me and I've been sleeping pretty much all day... except for now... unless I've figured out how to blog in my sleep.

Bit of black metal to start the day...

(Very funny post from Said the Gramophone, deserved to be promoted from my del.icio.us links - the cover version of Losing my Religion is one of the most horrific things I've heard for quite some time, made me laugh though)
