Cricket is for Cunts anyway.

I think I will probably be picking UC2 up this weekend, have you played Assassin's Creed?

I have listened to the first half of the album three times, Slipping Husband and 90 mile water wall are all sublime

I was chatting to my pal about UC today, he thoroughly enjoyed the first game. He said though, that it was only a good game. Then when the second game came out and blew everyone away, people suddenly decided the first one was also incredible instead of just good

I would not know tbh, I have only heard a couple of the songs so far. All I know is that if I heard him sing it, I would not bat an eyelid. I am enjoying them more this time round I think, though we'll see how it goes

Those are very Elliott Smith type lyrics

I am so embarrassed for mentioning them now, I am going to listen to those National songs now

Then you do not like the eels I guess

The second one was probably more representative of their work, but theyt have a range of styles.

That song Beautiful freak is theirs, as well as beautiful monster from Shrek

I am not sure why I sent it tbh, it is not really like their normal stuff. It is one of my favourites from them though

It does, but as a native you learn to look beyond that

I will listen to those songs tomorrow, do you like the eels?

Our seasons seem to cycle as they should tbh

I quite like the first minute of cardinal song, it is genuine heartbreak given a voice. The rest of the song is really good, but that first minute or so is in a league of its own. I will look at those other ones you named

That's mad, I didn't know they changed over the hemispheres. I knew you had hot winters, but I didn't think you changed the names around too

There are bound to be a few, but as a rule of thumb they are not very good. Name some of The National's sad songs

I have never heard a remix I liked, or at least liked more than or on par with the original

You have the seasons at different times?

Ah yeds, I hear the remixes are absolute dogshit though. I think she will definitely visit Vicar St. next year, that would be so great

Good point I guess, it will still be a less than a year from now though I think. Not summer but probably Autumn of 2012

I guess it depends, if they are breaking new ground or releasing another album of similar music

Was that EP as Lizzie Grant or LDR? Since I told you I was listening to her, whenever I have been on the computer I have been listening to her music on youtube. She is ridiculously talented

Their last album was recorded between December and April, but not released till August. So hopefully we will be getting some singles around march, maybe even some demos before then

Still no word on Lana recording a debut, well a debut as Lana Del Rey and not Lizzy Grant

I will try and get into them again

No clue, I'd imagine no earlier than 6 months from now but hopefully we'll be getting singles before too long

One of my best pals whose music recommendations I have always found excellent, also loves the National. He thinks they are the best band of the last ten years. Also my facebook informs me that the xx are finally recording their second album

I am looking forward to a second album from both them and the xx, and of course Lana's first one. I have become rather enamoured with her

In the shop the other day I was nodding along to dancing in the moonlight, when some kid asked me if I liked that song. I said, "Of course, Thin Lizzy - Dancing in the moonlight, it's a classic" to which he responded "Thin Lizzy is a faggot". After restraining myself from ripping the teeth out of his mouth, and ramming them back into his eye sockets. I pointed out Thin Lizzy were a band, and was told "yeah he's a faggot though"

I just thought I would share
