* Gin & Kerosene *

It is safe to say that lately I haven't been keeping up on the scene news as I have been known to do in the past. If anything, I couldnt really care less about anything that went down and my OCD severly deserted this area of my life. So today as I was skimming past some old haunts at work, I realised yet again how easy it is to miss things. Holy crap but it moves fast. Anywho, now I present this blog with all the new things I wasn't aware of and such. Note the subject line, you've been warned. 

- Jack White and Alicia Keys are doing the new Bond song. Omg. Being a shameless Bond fan who is stupidly excited for Quantum of Solace (god I love that name), it is really bizarre but rather excellent news. I would google it and have a listen but sadly I have no sound. Insert much nervous twitching here. I am sure it is receiving mixed resonses as stated here, Bond themes are hardly ever received in a clear cut way. Some of them are truly atrocious, my top choice for that being the 'For your eyes only' theme by Sheena Easton, although 'The Living Daylights' and 'Licence to kill' are not far behind. I love the amount of useless information franchises generate...as well as the completely mad fans. I like James Bond, but I'm not OCD/mad about it. 'Sides I really like the new direction of the films. I am yet to read the new book tho...I find it weird having another author write it, even if it says "Writing as Ian Fleming." It's just...weird.

- The new Plain White T's album 'Big Bad World' comes out tomorrow. I'm not really excited. I mean they're not bad, but I dunno, not much of a care factor...We'll see how it goes. Of course, I could probably download it now but I can't be bothered due to my stupid lack of sound. SOUND! I told my mum yesterday and she was all "Oh God, we better fix it, you can't live without sound." Damn straight.

- Butch Walker is also releasing a new album, but that's only out in November. I think he is often confused by the scene he finds himself in some days. I would be.

- The Killers' new single, 'Human', is out September 30. Yay! The Killers have really grown on me. I realise complain about them a fair bit but all the same, they make some goooood music. I'm looking forward to some new stuff.

- A new All American Rejects single, 'Gives you hell', is streaming on their site. AAR! Tyson! Nick! Huzzah! Not that I know what it sound like, bah. Anyway, the new album 'When the world comes down' is due out November 18. Let us hope a tour with a longer set is not far behind.

- I understand Anberlin's video for 'Compound Lockdown' is quite amusing...new album also due out September 30.
 

- 'The Glass Passenger', Jack's Mannequin's second album, is scheduled for release on September 30 too. Busy day. Hope it's good, I really loved the first one. 

- What is all this Max Bemis song shop business?
Max will take about a week to deliver an acoustic, full length actual Say Anything song based on your experiences and what you submitted! Each song is 100 percent written by Max for YOU, the buyer. No two songs will be the same. It will also be named after you.
That's crazy! Crazy, crazy! Hm. I wouldnt object to having Max write a song for me. *shakes head* Max is awesome.

- New Ryan Adams (and the Cardinals) album out next month.

- *disgruntled snort* Paramore are contributing two songs to the Twilight movie soundtrack. Epic. Sigh. I reserve the right to complain later. And according to that article there WILL be a Muse song on there too. Thank fuck. I get really disgruntled by the lack of Muse appreciation in relation to the Twilight series. I wonder how Matt Bellamy feels about it all, hmmm. 

Well that'll do for now.

I'm really enjoying 'White Noise'. It's got some kick ass solos on it, and the opening track is so strong. Just loves.

I will end on with a clip from one of The Mighty Boosh eps I watched last night. My parents were sitting there watching a bit with me and I can say that confusion and WTF faces reigned. It was great.
 
Charlie, the bubblegum creation. Classic.
