We Are Scientists - Chick Lit

They're at it again...

Waxing Lyrical

So, for those of you who aren't familiar with The Kills, let me introduce you.
Jamie Hince is Kate Moss' new boyfriend. He is also one half of this amazing group!Due to the fact that I tend to avoid any celeb who has a paparazzi following, it took me a while to actually track down and listen to thier new album Midnight Boom. I was blown away! Who knew that basslines held so much sex appeal!?!

Just a taste of thier tunes, here are the lyrics to my personal fave:

Cheap and Cheerful

I'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

I'm sick of social graces
Show your sharp-tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Dig that illegal meat

'Cause love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice-cream
You got to same needs as a dog

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

Indie Animals

I'd like to introduce you to The Wombats.
The UK's latest addition to the ever increasing indie scene. Thier new single 'Let's Dance to Joy Division' is taking every indie dancefloor by storm. I have found myself bouncing around to it, which is surprising. The video is cute, full of homages to older bands.
The song itself is catchy. Very catchy. Good rock 'n roll in the get up and dance way. Enjoy.

Clubland

London is by no means a small city, and one is never pressed to find something to do on any given night. But, there is the huge risk of ending up in a dive with a band that needs a lot more practice and paying far too much for beer.
Lucky for everyone out there, I have taken to the dodgy pavements of London and weeded out the best places to be any given weekend.

Friday:

Beneath the World's End pub in Camden, lies another world - UNDERWORLD. A club that hosts live bands from up and coming youngsters to veteran acts. But the fun really starts after the roadies have cleared the stage.
PUMP UP THE VOLUME comes at you full blast, throwing every 80's guilty pleasure you know and then some. I'm not and 80's fan, but I was jumping and dancing and singing along in no time! And I even knew the words to the songs!
The vibe is friendly, the people cool and everyone is there to indulge in thier nostalgia.
The beer isn't too expensive either.
Entrance is £5.

1st Friday of every month:

Who likes a little indie rock? VOTE PEDRO is the club to be. They feature two awesome bands with some electric and electic mixing in between sets. Hosted in the basement bar of The Phoenix in Cavendish Square, this night is seeing a bigger turn out every month. Help it grow...

Entrance is £5.
