CHANGE OF HEART - el perro del mar

what wood you do?

clever little brother:

to divert slightly from music. at school my brother was good at sport. not so much with the education. if he doesn't mind me saying. he decided to do art at gcse. and to everyone's surprise it turns out he was very good. and so from no where i suddenly had a creative brother. hes currently studying creative advertising. but in his foundation year he made a short film with some friends. its just about a little log. but to sound like a film student. it takes you on an emotional journey.

i cant give you the moon but maybe he can

a shot at a&r

the other day i was speaking to my intern friend. we spoke about who we would sign if we were in a&r. i said - we thieves. last year when i was a emi another intern charlie mentioned he was in a band. if i am honest. i didnt expect much. i was greatly mistaken. they could be signed in a minute im sure of it. just amazing amazing music. to make a half hearted comparison - mumford and sons'y ish. the wait is currently my overplayed track. but its all pretty great. if you ask me.

THE WAIT - we thieves

don't tell me what cannot be done

the first one should be a good one.

i found this song about 3 weeks ago. sufjan stevens covers it sometimes. i heard it on la blogotheque. i looked for it on spotify. found out that it was by innocence mission. and now here i am. about 200 plays later. this song will now always remind me of this time. also i like it because i am from canada. well half. i was born there. but really i am english. it just sounds cooler to have 2 passports.
