(Lemonade Ocean came out two days ago. Should go and buy it then.)

And I’m going to their gig… today! Result!

Blah blah blah blah IT’S MY BIRTHDAY so shut up! I hope the good Ruisrock folks give me a nice present next week. Even just one of my dear darlings would do! (And let’s be frank, I have many dear darling-bands so it couldn’t be that hard, huh?)

Yeah, 2007 could’ve been a blast, with Gogol Bordello’s return, The Flaming Lips and The Horrors. (I don’t like them but it would’ve been interesting to see their skinny legs in real life!)
But what happened was a schedule change (Eugene and his merry gypsies went to accompany Madonna at Live Earth and I only had ticket for Friday) and nasty case of tonsillitis (or whatever it was) that ruined my weekend.

For the record, Provinssirock has had its moments every year I’ve attended.
The Ark, John Cale and Gnarls Barkley (yes!) in 2006, Scissor Sisters, The Go! Team and the amazing Patti Smith in 2007. (The View and Amy W both cancelled their Provinssi gigs that year. Well, at least I didn’t have to make the choice between The View and Ninja’s posse then.)

Oh and Ankkarock? They reveal their plans in April. Maybe this year they’d have something that would interest me? (I still hate myself for not going in 2005. Franz bloody Ferdinand were there!)

For now, this one’s optimistic.

The Test Icicles were boll-oh okay that joke is older than the band itself. But Dev is cute. Can’t get his Christmas songs out of my head and it’s bloody February!

As for the bottom row, Coxo looks like a kid. Sorry, didn’t have a proper reference photo, only one of britpop-era Blur. Gerard Way looks stupid. I had lots of references.
The bit of not eating well and being all tummyachey might’ve suited the late mr. Cobain better but nah, everybody remembers the dead grunge god.

I really hope that hat of Dev’s becomes the new trilby/must-have-scenester accessory. How cool would that be?

I could rant about this forever but nah, let’s just play the name game.

You Say party! We Say Die So Fluid!
Bullet For My Bloody Valentine
The Ok Go! Team

That’s all I came up with right now. You lot got any? Fall Out Boys Of Scandinavia oh dear no

Next week we’ll meet the bloke who’s to blame for all this. Maybe.
Have a nice Sunday.

Happy Valentine’s day, to those who celebrate it and to those cynical bastards (like me) who couldn’t care less.

First I thought I’d draw you all a proper pic of Moz and Kele snogging.
Maybe I’ll do it some day but it’s too late now.

Idea of compiling a mix of lovesongs that are not too sappy but rather bittersweet (such as Can’t Stand Me Now by The Libertines or Acrobat by Maxïmo Park. Also, Why Do You Love Me? by Boys of Scandiavia because I like the title.) crossed my mind, but I couldn’t be bothered.

Then I thought I’d update with a comic that had nothing to do with Valentine’s Day (expect that I kinda fancy the person it was about. Kinda.), but I’ll post it later.
Besides, everyone’s posting Valentine’s Day crap in their journals and blogs and MySpazzes and Faecesbooks, so I’m not avin’ it!

…But oh well, in the end thought I could use the opportunity and post this little thingy I drew last year. You probably don’t get it, I think only I (or couple of fellow sad no-lifer fangirls) do, but that’s okay.
Anyways, have fun. and next year, send me some chocolate.
