• Dogs failed to predict heart problems caused by the cardiovascular drugs encainide and flecainide, which led to an estimated 3,000 deaths in the USA.
I don’t want a dog predicting any fucking thing. I know they apparently can sense when someones going to die or earthquakes, but i don’t want one for my doctor.
HAHAHHAHAA!!!

My Top 5 Albums of 2009 - Number #1
Bombay Bicycle Club - I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose
I’ve already vented how I feel about this album quite alot already, which you can read here so I’ll avoid going over old ground…
This for me was the best record of 2009 for the following reasons:
The entire album flows perfectly from the opening song to the closing. At no point does the record die off, even at...

So RATM got the Christmas number 1...
I had the pleasure or un-pleasure if that’s even a word of hearing the Joe McAlpine (I know that’s not his name…) uh… cover on Saturday night and it was terrible, purely terrible. Even taking an unbiased view, I thought O.K., this is a pop song and it’s from X Factor lets try to take that into consideration when listening to it. And it was still hideous. Miley Cyrus...

My thoughts on RATM Vs XFactor for Christmas #1
To be fair, this rant is long overdue…
“Rage Against The XFactor”…
I’ve been following this from the beginning, more or less, when I got invited through the creator of the “Rage Against The Machine” fan page on Facebook. At first I thought it was pretty funny, in a kind of ‘what if…’ sort of way. But it seems to have spiraled out of...
RATM xmas number one...
notsplash:
has got me thinking. This means that anyone can be number one as long as enough downloads are brought. You think if Reuben got a number one…or even a top 10 they’d get back together?
Reuben are the dogs :D

Dananananaykroyd - Hey Everyone!
Probably one of the most amusing and entertaining live bands to come around for a while, Scottish six piece Dananananaykroyd, who take their name from the actor of the same uh… name, released their debut full length in April on Best Before (records). There’s already been shit loads of reviews, hype, and stuff about this already so to be honest...

Florence & The Machine - Lungs
The hotly anticipated debut from Florence Welch et al was released in 6th July 2009, same week as Bombay Bicycle Club and both of Island Records. The record builds on the anthemic and euphoric sound first debuted on early single releases of ‘Dog Days Are Over’ and ‘Rabbit Heart’, however it is taken to a wholly impressive new level and...

Frank Turner - Poetry Of The Deed
Sometimes when a band or musician release an album almost 18 months after their previous album, it sets alarm bells ringing. Luckily, this is the exception to the rule. Poetry Of The Deed is the first record by Frank recorded with a ‘full band’ written of the strength of an extensive UK, European and American tour, and it is clear by the...

“There’s a “Slenderman” ARG-type story going on on youtube. The plot is that a guy’s friend Alex was filming a movie called Marble Hornets, when he noticed Alex was getting neurotic. He would film everything, even when not running a scene, and Alex turned the tapes over to the friend, and said to never mention them again; Alex then moved away. The main character has been...

The Cribs - Ignore The Ignorant
I could never really get into The Cribs, I liked ‘Men’s Needs’ the track, but I gave the album a listen and it just didn’t work for me, I found them a bit awkward and truth be told I just thought they were an average rock band… and I forgot about them. Then I was watching MTV2 and ‘Cheat On Me’ came on, and I...

so today something else went wrong at the house. i’m seriously considering the idea that this house is cursed. or built on an indian burial ground, simpsons style! firstly, since we moved in, three months back, we have had to have a new microwave, fridge and oven. the oven, as we speak, is downstairs and installed, but isn’t actually working. yeah, you heard me right. the new oven...

feeling like i’m not really experiencing the whole ‘tumblr’ effect. especially considering i’m only following one person, and as much as i love johnny, that doesnt make for epic entertainment.

The obligatory "New Moon" post
jaggillarost:
Right, so I went to see New Moon (part of the twilight saga) at the cinema last night. I didn’t enjoy it much at all, piss poor acting and a total lack of emotions from the actors. Yes I have read the books, yes book 4 is shit, but I still don’t get why she makes the decision she does. Stupid girl.
I have this to look forward to tomorrow. At least because of Orange Wednesdays I...
Ok, just listened to that song. Yeah it’s pretty good.
