Kate Nash

I came across this singer-songwriter called Kate Nash the other day and she's already sent my iTunes playcount into double figures. I decided to write a short review for her Double A side single...here it is...


In other news I got a hair cut, I miss my finge tho, despite how messy and dare i say it 'Emo' it was getting. Heres a little sentimental photo of me and the hair enjoying ourselves...

MY FAVOURITE "NEW BAND" OF 2006:
CSS/ THE MACCABEES
After lot of thought I couldn't really decide between these two. Thus I cheated and made it a tie between CSS and The Maccabees. With CSS hailing from Sao Paulo and The Maccabees from some corner of southern England their worlds and music couldn't be further apart, however their rationale for being my favourite new bands to emerge in 2006 are because of both bands' live shows, which are more like parties than gigs to be fair.
