I Run With Scissors

An absolutely sublime irish singer songwriter with a haunting voice that just resonates long after you listen to her. Oh and it helps the fact that's she not exactly hard on the eye either. ^__^

435am, Back of My Hand, Let a Good Thing Go, Undercover, November are all highlights from the songs she's streaming.

I've never really listened to Norah Jones, but I was under the impression that she's kinda laid back and jazzy while KT is more spunky.

I'm "getting" the album now and I should be able to get those mp3's within a day or two.

I'm not a huge fan of her music, but she is undeniably talented.

I saw her perform "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree", just her a guitar and a recording device which is activated by footpedals.

She got on stage and tapped a tambourine a few times, recorded it, looped it.

Then clapped a beat, recorded it, looped it.

She drummed on her guitar a bit, recorded it looped it.

Then she did the ooo oooohs on the song and started playing the guitar and doing the song.

The result was a incredibly rich sound, it was almost like a whole band was there but it was just her, a guitar and a pedal. She even busted out a kazoo... absolutely fantastic.

I saw them here in the UK last year.... with My Chemical Romance supporting!!!!

Twas the awesomeness.

Silence... now there’s something to talk about

Quick! Quick! Think of something to say,

The girl of your dreams is slowly walking this way.

Should you start with a joke, or maybe a “hey....

...how are you doing on this damn fine day?”

Come on! let the words all flow out

But you’re overanalyzing and having your doubts

Just stop stalling, and just open your mouth.

And quickly find something to talk about.

[Chorus is terrible so far, but I’m open to suggestions]

As the silence grows longer, it gets more awkward.

She walks right past you, she keeps moving forward.

On a downward spiral you are descending

And you know that this won’t have a happy ending.

I'm not sure if I should bother having another verse or just repeat the first one again followed by the chorus, I just keep pushing myself in the corner with my use of cheesy rhyming couplets

I'm not sure how many Americans have heard of them or not but they're quite possibly the most hyped band to come out of the UK for long time.

While and their debut album couldn't possibly live up to the hype, it is still a very fine piece of work and is the fastest selling album ever in the UK.

I think they're streaming most of their songs in myspace and purevolume.

Check them out.

I know this may be a long shot considering these guys are Japanese but they do seem to have a small western following,

Just wonder if anyone hear listens to them at all.

I am Jack's Empty Bottle of Daniels

Do these empty bottles mean I had a night full of fun?

I can’t remember that far back I have no idea what I done.

I’m struggling to open my eyes and I’m waking up with an aching head.

Trying to piece the puzzle of last night and everything I did and said.

Just think back…

Oh I think I remember something now, of what happened back then.

I got so drunk and said so many hurtful things to you again.

I guess that explains why my shirt’s still wet from the drink that you threw at me

And there’s now nothing left for me now, except to collect all the mess and debris,

Of us…

Conan, so I get a lifetime of;

Me: My name's Conan

Stranger: As in the barbarian???

Me: yes...... as in the barbarian

Stranger walks away with a smug sense of self satisfaction as though he was the first person to think up of that link and I just DIE a little inside...

But apart from that... it's an OK name.

^^

Yep I'll just give double confirmation.

The bands that play in London on the Saturday the 29th will be playing in Manchester on Sunday the 30th.

While the bands that play in Manchester on the Saturday the 29th will be playing in London on Sunday the 30th

Are you going to be there for both days?

I write mostly silly songs, so don't expect anything deep.

I wrote this one during a physics lecture;

Sitting in another lecture,

Wake me up when it's all over

As I slip into another

One of those fifty minute comas

Chorus

And I'm so bored, it's so mundane

Another second here I swear I'll go insane

Take me out of here I beg of you!!

Take me out of here I beg of you.

I've lost all my concentration

Like my mind is under sedation

I'm not even paying attention

As my brain ceases all function

hello folks,

I'm Conan, from the UK, and even though I am forever mocked for it, I enjoy listening to this band
