what you listening to right now

Don't worry BeeRose, no-one is lucky when it comes to student finance. Mrs Hoppo is always on the phone in a rage at them

GUYS is it worth getting a secondhand but in good condition MacBook for £250?? Are they good/is that a good deal??

on a scale of one to useless.. you guys are useless

As useless as a Macbook, amirite?

(I have no idea whether or not I am in fact right)

Are you living in halls, BeeRose? When do you start?

Yep Bateson hall, the cheapest and worst hall ever, am I lucky or what. Moving down on the 18th and freshers' fortnight starts the 20th.

False Priest.

It's probably the best album ever.

10cc- I'm not in love
Not sure if I like this or if I am being ironic

Do you know what condition it's in? It sounds like a good deal but I'd be sceptical, a friend of mine used to sell them on every time a new model came out and he'd get almost retail price for them.
 
(also as IF you get a freshers fortnight, a week was too much for me!)

i just realised that 'False Priest' comes from a lyric in the song 'Faberge Falls For Shruggie'...!!!

listening to mogwai's latest live release. seeing them a couple of times in feb. going to make next year for me

Got Thomas's mix on, aren't you all excited to hear all the kerazy tales of what happens tonight tomorrow morning?

I wish that I was at End Of The Road right now; they have Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, Allo Darlin' and Darren Hayman as the not so secret Thursday nights guests.  That has to beat Tom Jones.

OMG ENEMY GENE BY OF MONTREAL IS SO FREAKIN' GROOVY. FALSE PRIEST BETTER BE MORE LIKE THAT AND LESS 'COQUETTE'. GROUCH, AGREE WITH ME YOU THREE SIDED CTRL ALT PIECE OF AVANT

Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant.
The only B&S album I've never listened to fully, found it in a record shop today for £6.

It's their best one. Fantastic purchase

Gonna pick up False Priest, Grinderman 2 and Body Talk Pt 2 sometime this week. What a day!

I really need to listen to Body Talk 2 as I adore the first one.

The song with Snoop Dogg is ferocious. Total swagger

Oasis.

They were a good band once.

My Last FM

"Fresh", off Devo's new album, impossible to listen to this and not get your groove on at least a little bit.

Oasis.

Absolute ****e.

Oasis would have been fine if they'd stayed in Manchester. And carried on wearing trainers.

Yeasayer. Decided I prefer All Hour Symbals to their new one.

FREEDOM RHYTHM & SOUND...revolutionary jazz & the civil rights movement 1963-82

For the 100th time in the last few days..... 'Oh Agye Me Dofo' by Vis a Vis, curtesy of Mr Nico Rijnders.  It's absolutely fab-u-lous.

'pedro the fisher man' by gracie 'our gracie' fields...the original urban sound of rochdale 

 http://www.hiveprojects.org/

cerys played this on her sunday show while i was ironing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLh3eZoy8Vw&feature=related

don't you wonder sometimes
'bout sound and vision

just noticed the above clip...fantastic stuff riverlodge gave me a big 

 http://www.hiveprojects.org/

anyways, me an mrs hoppo just chilling out to 'solid air', by the great, and late lamented John Martyn...fantastic stuff.

so, me supping on blandford forums finest ale, and wife sipping on her amontillado, i have got into musing...what ever happened to john martyn's amputated leg now he is dead ? has it been interred with the rest of him, or, is it some bell jar full of formaldehyde on public display up ten flights of stairs in some wretched Edinburgh tenement that is posing as a surgeons museum...and i wonder, if this dislocated limb, alone in its jar, sometimes, when all the tourist have gone and its is left quite alone in the dark in the surgeons museum sometimes, just sometimes, when ever a young loving couple brings home that solid air CD and plays it for the first time, cuddling up on the DHS sofa and feeling a warm glow all over after half a bottle of cheap asda Chardonnay , does not that lonely leg some how start tapping along with that loving vibe coming to it through the ether, causing ripples in the formaldehyde, and the containing jar itself to emit a lonely yet strangely lovely  glow...?  its a thought

nb...the surgeons museum in Edinburgh is in up a long flight of tenement stairs, but is a fantastic and fascinating place to visit and free...

 http://www.hiveprojects.org/

Say No To Love by the Pains of Being Pure at Heart, this is really lovely.

I am going to try to lure Grouchland out of hiding by asking whether anyone has listened to the new British Sea Power EP and what they think?

The Authority Song, I really wish I was going to the Jimmy Eat World UEA gig.

nb...the surgeons museum in Edinburgh is in up a long flight of tenement stairs, but is a fantastic and fascinating place to visit and free...

And they have a special open day once a year where you can see the many exhibits not on public display.  Very much worth a visit.

At this precise moment, i am listening to David Cameron's speech to the tory party. He's just wished Margaret Thatcher happy birthday. What an odd man.

too much SALEM cannot be good for one; that's what the Rough Trade manager seems to loooovve

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Salem are just a bit, well...boring aren't they? I've only heard a couple of songs. Better than the usual hauntologicalzzzzzzzzzz snoozefests, but not by much.

I'm going to be in Edinburgh on Monday night, and I'm going to be ALL ALONE. Apart from breaking into the surgeon's museum after-hours, what should I do, please?
