An absence explained. Half heartedly.
A (the?) reader pointed out the other day (or: some months ago) that All My Pets Just Died had become a little stale (or: grown toxic spores, removed by experts and incinerated in a specialist lab) of late.
“True”, I said.
I got a little bit carried away with Twitter but peaked with my running commentary of my trip to A&E and have yet to reach such heights since. Instead I...

These are all the dogs I've had. By David
Honey – Deaf and blind by the end and finally put down by a vet. She was an old, honey coloured sheep dog-type-dog. She was there when I was born – well, not there, but we had her…. There’s a really cute picture of me at around three or four asleep in my garden and she’s sitting next to me – protecting me.
Leo – Staff. He was cool. He pulled me in a sleigh once. He was hit by a truck and then died...

WatchJoanna Newsom soundtracking a Victoria’s Secret ad. WTF?
Here’s hoping for some more indie/lingerie advert hook-ups….
Will Oldham and Wonderbra perhaps? Maybe Sufjan Stevens meets Agent Provocateur? I could go on but I dont know any other lingerie brands.

WatchNew video for Terry Lynn’s amazing Kingston Logic (via Discobelle)
That’s Kingston, Jamaica by the way, not Kingston, Surrey.
There’s very little logic in Kingston, Surrey.
There is the UK’s biggest Odeon cinema though. Maybe I could write a song about it. ‘Kingston Dolby Pro-Logic’ perhaps?

2009 is making me soft
I had my haircut yesterday. It’s never a process I enjoy. I tend to dislike things that involve staring at myself in the mirror for a prolonged period of time, basic human interaction and sharp metal objects. Anyway, the place I go – which has a name which sounds like a kebab shop – has a small cheap TV mounted on the wall next to where I was sat. It was playing one of those American Jerry...

Films I watched at Christmas
I realized when compiling my end of year favourite lists that I had involuntarily shunned the cinema and films in general in 2008. I’m not entirely sure why. Perhaps Adam Sandler had finally succeeded in putting me off an entire medium or perhaps I was just lazy. Either way, I decided to make up for this over my extended Christmas and New Year break and revel in the world of film. It being...

40 Best Tracks of 2008
These are my favourite tracks of the year. I’ve tried not to include any tracks already included on my fave albums, ya get me?

2. Cut Copy – Hearts on Fire God. Damn. Perfect
3. Whitest Boy Alive – Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix) Take one great song. Go all Daft Punk over it. Euphoria. Job done.

10. Gang Gang Dance - Saint Dymphna
A big crazy brew of tribal beats, weird disco, Kate Bush, grime, glitches and beats. Worked for me…
09. Lykke Li - Youth Novels
Somewhat more leftfield than your usual Scandinavian pop minx with some warped production, sparse percussion and sexy-as-fuck delivery. I lykke very much (sorry)
