Names, Names, Names Darling

[dotinthesky]

This past week's top 7 songs:

7) The Duke Spirit - The Step and the Walk
6) Fun Boy Three - Our Lips are Sealed
5) Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane
4) Glasvegas - It's My Own Cheatin' Heart That Makes Me Cry
3) The Magnetic Fields - California Girls
2) Suede - Sleeping Pills (Ode to Heath Ledger)
1) Sons and Daughters - Darling

Tip for when you go clothes shopping: visit the gym beforehand. Even if your body isn't perfect, the happy hormones coarsing through your body will cheer you on as you try one garment after another. And it helps if the day is sunny and everyone on the street smiles at you. Tip for most flattering dressing room lights: the Gap near Angel tube, and H&M in Covent Garden. Even if you are not buying anything from them, it's worth a visit just for that extra boost to your mood. Avoid Next at all cost (why would you want to shop there, anyway?) Enter Topman's dressing rooms at your own peril. Mental note: you are no longer a twink.

We are getting tickets to see Sons and Daughters at ULU, 12 February (11 quid), and Glasvegas at KOKO, 15 February (5 quid). Wanna tag along? Also, who's interested in visiting Popstarz in its new location (Centrepoint's basement) in two weeks time? There's no point in buying new clothes if you can't flash it about (but don't hold your hopes up, fashionista crowd; I'm still an autumn colours kinda guy.)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

What can I say? I'm made of honey.

[sparkx.livejournal.com]

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Honey, hair and bones.

[sparkx.livejournal.com]

[sparkx.livejournal.com]

OH and yes to Popstarz! Lise and I are going.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Let's go together and properly meet! First drink is on me. ;-)

[sparkx.livejournal.com]

Yaay. Fantastic, look forward to it!

Bolly for me :oP

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Is Bolly some kind of expensive champagne? Don't you go taking advantage of me so early on. ;-)

:( I wanna meet oliver twink, but nope, he's trying to move before I visit

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Maybe we'll be like those friends in the movie (whose name I forget) that spend their entire lives writing letters to each other, but never get a chance to meet...

[tonight-we-fly.livejournal.com]

I've already got a ticket for Sons And Daughters, and a drink is on me beforehand if you fancy it?

NB: I don't mean spilled on me...

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

See you there! :-)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

God is so unfair with you. You must have really pissed her off.

[naturalbornkaos.livejournal.com]

You're so indie, The Man feels a light punch to the face every time you breathe.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

There's only so much Booty Luv a boy can take.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Two weeks' time might be too much for us, considering Saturday... ;-)

Should we say a "tentative" three weeks from now, Friday? 15th February?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I'm very flexible! Don't have much planned ahead other than a few gigs during the week, and Saturday 9th of course. :-)

OMG!! I love Sons & Daughters... and the first thing I did when I know the days we wanted to spend in London was looking for their gigs... but nope!! We can't be there!! :(

So I hope you'll explain how it is!! :D

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I still haven't got my tickets. Cross fingers I manage to find some.

If I do go, I'll make sure to write a review. ;-)
