Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

I actually enjoyed that a lot, and I'm not just saying that to be nice! She's got a great voice and style.

 

Thanks TSS - great comparisons. Yeah, she keeps a lid on it for sure, but it's simmering away. It's just SO nice to be working with someone who's actually making challenging and interesting music - it's very unusual in this disposable, attention deficit age.

Wait till you hear the 9 minute one

 

Not my cup of tea, really.

 

No worries Pie, not going to be for everyone, certainly.

 

If you can discover the next Journey, then I'll be all over it.

 

Yep, I absolutely love that, if anything better on first hearing than "I Speak Words". Very trancy, particularly the middle section where the percussion comes in. Good to have a longer track too, gives the music time to evolve. Very, very good.

LTL, please let me know if Fable comes up Bristol way ever, I can see her going down really well at somewhere like the O2 Academy.

So, Max Verstappen could be set to take Jean Eric Vergne's seat at Toro Rosso for this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, if some news sources are to be believed. If not this weekend, then it sounds like it could be for next season.

Verstappen turns 17 on Sepetember 30, so either way will probably become the youngest driver in F1 history. Wow.

[edit] Confirmed, he will race in 2015 for Toro Rosso. Amazing.

 

Thanks Chilco - that's lovely to hear. Of course I'll keep you up to date re tours etc. To be honest, the best track is the one we haven't put out there from the EP! There's a lot of discussion and talk around how to do these things - I'd have love to have put it out there, but at 9 minutes long, I was persuaded otherwise by the other powers that be! Ultimately the decision rests first with her, a close second with me, but we have to listen to advice at least some of the time!

 

The Swedes are comparing her with Radiohead at the moment. I'll live with that...

 

*fanboy mode*

 

I hope that, in 10 years time when she's playing Wembley we all get discounted tickets

 

Discounted? I want backstage passes.

 

I just had it reinforced to me why when I need to go clothes shopping I go alone or with a mate.

Women are absolutely unbearable for the most part. If I know what I want, and where I can get it, why are we going through ALL THE THINGS I DON'T LIKE?!

 

Ah young fool, You like them you just don't realise you like them.

 

Quite correct...men have no idea what they like until they are told

 

I used to have opinions then realised i perfered having a quiet easy life and rubbish shirts

 

Just keep saying no. It's a battle of wills. Or just walk out of the shop and go for a pint.

 

I will only buy clothes/shoes when I'm alone. Other people just cause a distraction and it takes about 4X longer to get to the shops I want to visit.

 

You could just take them and then share them with your friends to justify it?

(Sorry, couldn't resist. We'll not begin that again!)
