Laura Marling

GIRL TUNES!

New super hot obsession: Laura Marling. Only 17 years old... I likes me some young'ns. For the past two days she has surpassed Spiral Beach as my favourite teenage musical act (I cannot say if this will last or not). I keep trying to download the song that I like of hers... but in vain! It just won't work! So I'll have to direct you to her myspace instead: www.myspace.com/lauramarling

"New Romantic" is the bomb. Diggity. I just listened to it about 15 times. And I'm going to again.

PS - I like to speak as though I'm 10 years older than I actually am.

Patrick Watson - The Storm

My favourite of the the two Patrick Ws of the day. And a Montrealer, no less! Download the whole album (Close to Paradise).

Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position

Okay song. Mostly just wanted to have a Patrick W themed day.

Beirut - Elephant Gun

Pretty much the same sound as last year's Gulag Orkestar - one of my absolute favourite albums of the 2006.

I wish I could play the ukelele. And I wish all music videos were as beautiful as this one. Maybe then I'd watch MuchMusic without wanting to vomit.

I want an elephant nose-mask.
