Thank you for the birthday wishes  18 isn't quite so fun til you have the card to prove it though, which i haven't got because i haven't even bothered to get my learner's yet. Now a video for you Boodeedeedoo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKqHjFtX7iE&feature=related<3<3<3 for Yann Tiersen. Maybe you people should take a trip to Australia.....no don't, it's hell boring here. (Although if Owen reads this - please come to Australia it's great!!) I wish i was in Europe somewhere. Oh my, I rather like this, I think you're one of the first two to give ME a video... YAAAAAYYY ^_^ this beats what I was listening to before: Gwen Stefani's "cool". I've really just been at oogling at the cutie gwen is with in the video and trying to alter my appearance to match him, I'm a master of disguise did you know? Here is a dose of some music video-age that you might like www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1Cy78pCn9YThe woman's voice brings me much happiness, I hope you enjoy it. So tell us what you got up to for your birthday? I really want to go to Australia, I'm not very sure what part though but I'd probably be dragged to melbourne for the sole fact that I have relatives...that I never...talk...to...there... ... That doesn't make much sense but probably a "subconscious" thought of mine is "cheap accommodation you fool...take it...TAKE IT!!" If you're heading to Europe I can only suggest Paris, it's amazingly good but take my advice, bring as many people as you can because I remember very nearly being dragged down an alley by some very strange girl...I didn't like it at all. myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=3298990 here for anyone who likes funny science fiction The birthday was fun, i just had a little sleepover with friends where we got a little bit drunk. No big parties for me If you're coming to Australia go to melbourne, simply because Ms. Newsom's Sprout and Bean is used in the tourism campaign Brisbane is hella boring, Sydney is.... nah, go to Melbourne. I haven't been there myself, but Joanna Newsom!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jENsTGWzC3gAnd yes, I really, really, really want go to to Paris. I used to not, because my sister went there and saw someone just dying on the street and someone else drinking from the fountain with a used coffee cup and i was like "  it's supposed to be all perfect and romantic!". Ahaha. But then i read lots of Zach Condon interviews, then i watched those La Blogotheque videos, then i listened to Yann Tiersen, then i listened to Camille's Le Fil over and over again, then I watched Amelie three times and so now i want to go. |

I saw someone being arrested one morning when I was in Paris. Oh, and the night before we arrived a McDonald's was bombed. This was a couple years ago when they were having some problems. SWAT type police people running around everywhere with machine guns. . .
BUT it is magical. So magical...before I went I didn't think I'd be the type to be all "oh the Eiffel Tower is so romantic and pretty!!!" ... but it is. The way I feel when watching Amelie is how it felt to be in Paris. That happy-and-nothing-is-wrong-in-the-world feeling.

I really love Newsom, she's so weird live and got the audience involved in her gig sooooo much. I think the most magical thing I've seen/heard was my friend playing peach plum pear for me just by randomly sitting down and asking me what I wanted him to play. That and my day has rather been "made" by my little review of this site and a comment about Mr. Apps has been made "I did go through a fangirly Wolf phase for about a week, then suddenly all the colours and the glitter and the long, whimsical blog posts got a bit too much for me and kind of turned me off his music a bit." Sooooooo trueeeee... P.S. For you: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGaPVXy2Cm8 I've been listening to this allll day, her voice reminds me of my granny. |

What the flipping heck? "I want to do bad things because it's "cool" what the flarg? that child should be shot. Since when should the fat little brat decide what punishment is fitting being 7 and breaking at least 2 laws? Hood-rat stuff indeed what a stupid little bastard indeed. Maybe I just came from a strange time but coolio told us that such things were bad: youtube.com/watch?v=N6voHeEa3igStay in school nocaps paayyycceeee home dawg. |

wow i had forgotten about coolio...i met him in a hotel in colorodo one time....strangely enough
and indeed kids in the southern united states like to take "being bad" to whole new levels. these two kids in my fourth grade class got caught trying to shoot the tires off of passing cars with a rifle. luckily they got caught before they did any damage. and to think kids used to just use snowballs for that sort of thing. but i guess we don't get enough snow in texas so we have to make due.

Relating back earlier, I'm not much of a fan of Joanna Newsom, though I feel like I should be. I could never get into it.

let's see...i was ten when i was in fourth grade. and as far as the acquisition of the weapon: almost everyone in texas has a gun cabinet but apparantly not everyone knows how to properly secure a lock.

I got the same way with Patrick Wolf, but I don't listen to him as much because he's all annoying and arrogant and is losing charisma and talent at an alarming rate. That and I was horrified to see that he's going to bless his fans with his political opinions in his next album. *sigh* And Crikey! you would think to at least lock away your guns but it appears that's too much to ask for... anyway how are you all? |

I got the same way with Patrick Wolf, but I don't listen to him as much because he's all annoying and arrogant and is losing charisma and talent at an alarming rate. Lies! He might come off a bit arrogant on stage, but off-stage I've found him extremely nice and each time I've had the opportunity to speak to him friendly conversation abounds. As far as talent goes, what I've heard of the next album (or new songs at least, and he has played a lot), it sounds as though it is going to impress far more than The Magic Position did. I know that album was a letdown for a lot of people for some reason. It's not my favourite, but in no way did I think it was bad...just different and possibly unexpected. What I did not enjoy, I'll admit, was that he said more than once that he wanted to hit the charts and have a #1, etc... and he probably did, but I think it may have made it seem a bit ..hmm....cheap? Maybe? I can't think of the right word. Plus, it led to me seeing Patrick and Owen Pallett last winter in London! Both of them! Together! On the same stage! ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WmYbvagdFI ) BUT the word I have been using to describe Patrick as of late is fierce. So look out! So there! [please excuse my excessive italics.] edit: The political thing only bothers me a bit. I saw him at LMHR last Sunday and enjoyed his speech very much (as did the review in one of the London papers the next day) but his blog following the election was a bit much. At the same time, though, London politics aren't exactly universal, you know? So I guess we'll see what appears on the album. Thus far none of the new tracks are overly-political, except for Hard Times, which I hope gets a giant revamp if it is to appear again. Phew! Long-winded essay! |

I liked Lycanthropy and wind in the wires a lot, but Mr Apps lost it in the magic position, it was quirky but it wasn't anything outstanding, Oh and the magic position only got to 43 or something like that if i remember correctly, an amazing failure by anyone's standard. I agree with you that he's worse onstage, he used to be cute. I think the way he came across was just a bit of a strange boy with, in the words of Chris, "many, many issues".
I really don't look forward to his new album, I wish he did another lycanthropy-esque album but he's all caught up in lots of glitter and getting wasted onstage and putting on a crap show (for the two times ive seen him)
I think I was more put off by when I heard of the horribly camp 40-something year old man who kept screaming "oh my god" everytime Patrick opened his mouth.

Yeah, I've met him twice offstage... he's a bit of a creep... haha really? Aww...I've never found that. I guess it depends on situation. I've only met him after shows. And about Lycanthropy/WITW vs. The Magic Position... It's not that I don't like TMP, just I like the other two better. And I find I view The Magic Position as songs whereas I view the other two as albums..not break-up-able. Like concept albums, except Lycanthropy isn't really, but I view them as a whole. |

Ah sorry i re-edited my last comment look up. There's like two songs on TMP, but that's only because they remind me of his older stuff. I heard Overture and I was like "k... sounds a bit like wind in the wires.. ooh it sounds like a machine weird..." then by the time I got to my station (I was listening to this on a train) I was slightly horrified when it got to "get lost. I think Lycanthropy is an outstanding album, if you were to check my last.fm you would see that Apps is one of my most played artists due to that album doubled with wind in the wires. I remember Chris having a better experience with Patrick the first time we saw him (i think we were at the same gig anyway) where they all offered him ice cream and he came out and started coming onto chris, much to the displeasure of his highly neurotic and somewhat terrifying friend who obsessed over Apps at the time (he worships a new god every sunday). But I remember last time he came on, blearily sung a few songs absolutely wasted out his tits, stumbled off with that manbeast Bishi and rushed out of the place with a coat over his head and drove off, waving to us.... Disenchanting... |
