All my friends are going to see Crystal Castles or My Morning Jacket on New Years Eve in NYC.
REALLY? CRYSTAL CASTLES?
I WANT TO SEE THEM.

But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I'll be far far away from new york.
Far far away from 66 N 6 bklyn 11201.

OH WELL.

If you are in london here are some good nye shows:

Reverend and the Makers at KOKO, hosted by NME radio.

There's Noah and the Whale @ the Astoria.

And King Blues / Dan le Sac vs scroobius pip @ Brixton.

I have come across this hilarious artist named BEANS ON TOAST.
He was scrobbled on my Last . FM page.

Anyway I downloaded a lot of humourous songs titled "I fancy Laura Marling" and "There's no fit girls in NYC"

Whoever Beans on Toast is, he is hilarious.

There's a link to where you can download his amazing folky, but funny tunes.
I would laugh till eternity if he ever ended up playing a show with Laura Marling.
I wonder if he does fancy laura marling for real because if you listen to the fit girls in nyc song he mentions the song was a joke.

Alas, all the good folk really is from london.
AHEM NOAH AND THE WHALE

Back in September, I enjoyed the Fie Fie Foe FUm tour with Laura Marling and Johnny Flynn. I've seen Laura Marling about twice in New York and both times I have seen her it was quite enjoyable.

Laura of course, was once in the band Noah and the Whale, which I am also completely obsessed with.

Blimey! Those buggers (noah and the whale) cancelled their US tour....
I was going to see them next week!!!!
Blahhhh they did this back in the summer when they were supposed to play some shows in new york.
