Oh Monday!

This past weekend was a really short cold weekend at the end of a really LONG week. Trust me. I was glad to see it end and sleep it all off. But as things go, here we are again at the start of a new week. Oh Monday, I hate thee.

Rather than doing a "Valentine's Day" post, I figured I'd put a bunch of stuff I've recently been turned on to. It's not all British but it's still good. My next post will be 100% Best of British. Keep your Union Jack's handy and prepare to sing God Save the Queen.

Until then enjoy these golden brown tunes fresh out of the Who Needs Radio oven. If you're really lazy or forgot Tuesday is a holiday, burn them onto a CD and give them to your significant other as a Valentine! See what we do for you people!

From the dreamy/softer side of things... music to woo to.

-- Devics: Come Up
-- Magnet: Hold On

From the rocky side of things... music to erm.. have an argument to while dancing.

-- The Sounds: Painted by Numbers
-- Mellowdrone: Oh My

And finally from across the pond... music to be a Rock n' Roll couple to (the bassist and guitarist are dating as it happens).

-- Subways: Rock n' Roll Queen (LIVE 11/27/2005)
-- Subways: Staring at the Sun (TV on the Radio cover)

Their album FINALLY came out here in the States. For those of you who weren't fortunate to walk away w/free stuff at the release party at POP! last week, here are two tracks that are rare and cool (even if the drums sound like a roofer on acid).

Happy V-D (It's now officially Tuesday as I finish this up). Next time we head back over the pond for a cuppa and some digestives.

Paul...the tired Anglophile.
