I was finalisted for Best Youth but ultimately lost out to Siobhán. Don’t mind at all that I lost, once again I had a great night. Bigger post tomorrow.

That Someone is You — R.E.M.

A New World

Relatively new find for me, The Decemberists.

No, really, Beautiful Song — Adam Pascal. Pity that this live version omits the epic didgeridoo opening.

Similarly, I really enjoyed Scott Pilgrim when it came out it the cinema and the DVD from Amazon arrived this week (free 2 day shipping? yes please).

I’ve discovered two new and fantastic artists from the movie that I’ll share here.

Go! ≈ Plumtree

and…

Threshold ≈ Beck

Don’t Look Back into the Sun ~ The Libertines

I’m drowning in my own oxymoron here.

This is Freelance Whales: “Generator 1st Floor”. Trust Tommy’s indie cred just got exponentially bigger.

This isn’t what I’d normally listen to, though. Not in any great volume in any case. I love this song, but let’s just say that my Last.fm has picked up 120 plays by the Cast of American Idiot and not the Freelance Whales.

Everything is Alright ~ Motion City Soundtrack

*breath* Om Du Möter Varg ~ Detektivbyrån

Both fantastic songs. That second one is a weird lullaby with drums in it.

I spend my last weekend in Ireland for 6 weeks with friends though. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. :)

Suffragette City – David Bowie

I’m off to India America on Friday for further surgery. This should be the last of it for some time though, so I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be in Minnesota for 6 weeks, so I’ll next see green Irish fields on Tuesday, November 9th.

Vodafone very kindly unlocked my Dad’s iPhone for me (because he wasn’t out of contract) so myself and my parents all have unlocked phones now, so contacting each other will be cheaper after we pick up AT&T SIMs. Having said that, Vodafone’s roaming data doesn’t actually cost extra in America, it’s only 99c per day for 50 MBs. Here’s hoping blogging won’t be too sporadic!

Overall, I think I’m looking forward to ‘getting my legs upgraded’, as my friend put it. :)
