I went off Coldplay for a while, but am glad to say that I am back on the band-wagon (so to speak). Viva La Vida is a great album. It took me a fair few listens to get into it cause I thought some of the songs were a bit obvious, but the more I listen, the more I like it.

Jamie Lidell was a surprise – a good one too! Heard one song on triple j that was rad and then found the album. Turns out it is all good which is rare – usually when that happens I have heard the good song already. JIM is a really fresh album that takes a lot of influence from motown (not in the Human Nature kind of way either). Too much fun.

I heard Damien Rice singing about an Eskimo and I was captivated – not only that, his mother does an operatic burst in the same song. Anyone that can mix loves songs with the word ‘eskimo’ and also have your mother along to supervise and sing is alright with me – in fact, they are amazing.
