I KNOW EVERYTHING CHANGES, ALL THE CITIES AND FACES.

Believe It Or Not, And I'm Very Happy To Say, That Is In Fact A Sugababes Lyric.
Rob Introduced To Me How Kajungah The Song 'About You Now' Is.
Girls Aloud Are More Consistently Good, No Doubt, But Sugababes Have Some Gems.
It's A Shame They'll Never Break America Really...

Oh And Today's Download Is A Surprise, But A Worthy Surprise.
If You Click The Link You'll See What It Is Anyway.
I Find This Song Absolutely Hilarious Yet The Sentiment Is Bang On.

SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE-ISE-ISE


This Past Week Has Had A Few Moments Of Wonder Actually.
Friday Night I Went To See Kid Harpoon, The Support Was Arthur And Helsinki (Otherwise Known As That Guy Out Of Babyshambles' Solo Project) Who Were Both Pretty Good.
Kid Harpoon However Were Really Really Good, Which I Hadn't Expected To Be Honest, My Prior Knowledge Of Them Was Two Kind Of Shit Acoustic Recordings From SXSW A Few Years Ago.
But They Were Really Good - Ren Said She Looked Over At Me A Few Times And I Was Just Smiling My Face Off, Which Is Rare At Any Point.
Me And Tom Were Drinking Corona All Night, I Felt Like Such A Businessman With A Bottle Of Beer With A Lime In It.
'Masculine But Edgy', Right?
I Think I Actually Transferred Back To The Vodka And Cokes After A Few Of Them - You Know How I Do.

The Rest Of The Weekend Was Kind Of Average, I Watched Loads Of Football, Which Was Evened Out By The 'Nobody Loves Me, Everybody Hates Me, Going Down The Garden To Eat Worms' Kurt Cobain Mentality I Fell Asleep Under.

Monday Was An Altogether Different Kettle Of Fish.
In Music Tech, Our Teacher Showed Us This Song By OINGO BOINGO.
Oingo Boingo Is The Genius That Is Danny Elfman's Electro Band.
They're A Total Devo Rip Off, Which Was Kind of Disappointing As I Love Danny Elfman's Other Music.
However, This Song And Its Video Make Him More Punk Rock To Me Than I Had Ever Imagined He Could Be.



How Disgraceful Is That?!
He's The Ginger Lead Singer By The Way.

Then I Had To Record My Vocals For My Sting Cover.
It Sounds A Bit Like It Was Made By The Mentally Ill All Slowed Down From Electro Shock Therapy As A 'Project' To Keep Them Off Of The Streets. In Victorian Times.
In Other Words It Is Terrible, And I Never Even Liked 'Every Breath You Take' - To Me Sting Is A Joke.
So I Got This Guy To Sing Over It And He's Got This Really Emo Voice, It Sounds So Messed Up But In A Wicked Way.

Then Harriet, Soph And Jess Came Round For Tea Which Was Alright, Harriet Ate A Bit Of Chocolate I'd Had Fully In My Mouth And Then Spat It In My Drink, I Think I've Got The Clap At The Very Least, Things Haven't Been The Same Since.
We Just Watched Music Videos Really.
And I Had A Driving Lesson That Was SHIT, I Stalled For The First Time And I Wasn't Allowed To Drive Home Because I Was So Appalling.

Tuesday Was A Waste, Nothing Of Merit Happened At All At All At All, That I Can Remember.
I Beat The Big Show As Ray Gunn (Was It Ray Gunn Or Billy Gunn? I Know One Is A Wrestler And One Is A Porn Star) On Becca's Wrestlemania Gameboy Game - Becca Was Amazed, It Means She Can't Come On Lad's Night And That She Is In Fact A Big Gurl.

Then Today I Had My First Lesson In My New Psychology Class.
It Is Rad, We Watched A Video On Jack The Ripper (I Knew Too Much And Had To Cover Up With Ignorance, I'm Sure Knowing Ridiculous Amounts About Victorian Murderers Does Not Give Off A Good First Impression) And My Teacher Is Really Nice, Even If We Do Work In Complete Silence.
They Have A Running Joke That They're All Boning Her - Classic.
I Almost Joined In, But Felt That It Was Too Soon.
It Was Funny, I Got My Folder Out And Chinese Whispers Ensued - 'He's Got A Pink Folder, He's Got A Pink Folder, He's Got A Pink Folder, You've Got A Pink Folder?'
'Oh This Old Thang?'
They Loved It.
I'll Keep You Updated With Who Joke Shags Her And Whatnot...

Then Tutorial Was Excellent, My Tutor Is So Rad.
I've Recently Been Asking Myself How I Should Thank Him At The End Of The Year (He's Done More For Me This Year Than Most Of My Parents Have) And I Cannot Think Of A Straight And Adequate Way To Thank Him.
Beer - Sports Teacher.
Chocolates - Mono Et Mono.
Flowers - I've Never Bought Anybody Flowers And When I Do You Can Bet I'll Be Twenty Five And On The Seventy Second Blind Date Of Desperation.
I'd Love To Have An Excuse To Buy Someone Flowers Other Than 'It'll Be Well Funny.'
I Wish I Had An Excuse For Most Things That Wasn't 'It'll Be Well Funny' Really....

THEN I Came Home, Jonny And Rob Turned Up With Beer And We Drank And Watched Music Videos.
Rob Then Left, And Me And Jonny Thought It'd Be Hilarious To Watch Literally Tens Of Michael Jackson Videos (Including The Fourteen Minute Long Video For 'Thriller' And 'Earth Song').
It Really Was Hilarious.
But I Realised That Until Around The Release Of 'Bad', Michael Jackson Could Literally Do No Wrong.
Then....Well We've All Heard 'Earth Song.'

'What About BABY BOYSSSSSS' Is An Actual Lyric.

After That I Had Band Practice.
Which Was Amazing.
I'm Still Getting Used To Jonesy Being Really, Really Complimentary.
But I Guess He Is Only Human And We ARE Quit Kazuki...
We Recorded All Of Our New Songs For Him And He's Doing The Lyrics As We Speak.
Our EP Will Be A Concept EP, But I Can't Possibly Give You Any More Details.

We're Playing In May With Cables, Wow! Pigeon Eyes And Saxon Sunday Who Are All Total Babes And Excellent Musicians, If You Don't Come You'll Miss All The Hot Action.

Until Next Time Four Interesting Things Happen To Me, Many Happy Returns.
