Even cooler that it's about the astronaut Neil Armstrong losing his finger, or was it a thumb? (google it = finger)!!! Using a mouth organ/harmonica as a "drone" is probably the greatest idea to happen since Terminator. The singing as well, jeez! I don't think I have heard better singing in a song since Boston's "More Than a Feeling"! Big time waffles! </div><div><br /></div><div>Don't really understand what the cover to Canopy Glow is about. It is a little depressing I think. Maybe when the band decide to play at my house and let me go on tour with them, I will ask them. And then tell them to re-release the album with better artwork. </div><div><br /></div><div>This man is a legend (sadly, no reattached finger shown) </div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://my.execpc.com/%7Eculp/space/NeilArmstrong.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="http://my.execpc.com/%7Eculp/space/NeilArmstrong.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div>Handsome fellow. Anyway, point of blog is to add this to the "Summer Compilation" seen below as this song is beautiful, energetic, folk-pop-fantasticness. So believe me when I say this song is great. </div><div><br /></div><div>Houston, we have found 'song of the year'. Hahahahahahahaha :( </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5568816117937304526-5330629663865578424?l=umberworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>umber_http://www.blogger.com/profile/07543496925142872431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568816117937304526.post-65584028102134845552009-04-29T10:32:00.001-07:002009-04-29T11:53:56.391-07:00Hello and welcome to my blog. Blogged by myself, Alex Steward. I guess a tiny introduction is needed. Yes? O.k. I am Alex, I like music, films, books, cakes and looking at photos. I create music. I watch films. I read books. I eat cakes. I look at and take photos. I live a lonely but almost wonderful life out in the sticks. Hoping one day to live in the city before moving to Canada. <div><br /><div>So a few months back, after realising a few people I know have a blog of their own, and me thinking it seems like a fun thing to do, the idea popped up like bread from a toaster; why not have my own blog. Good idea I thought! But what on earth am I going to write about. This left me puzzled for quite some months but today whilst mopping floors I thought I will take this seriously and some actual (lame) ideas came to mind. Some ideas that I had; cakes and baking (actually my sister bakes, I just like to eat them, she makes a amazingly <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">amazing</span> lemon &amp; lime cake!). Seeing as I am an avid fan of music I thought of having a little zine kinda thing, where I interview and review bands. But seeing as I suck at English and lack confidence, I thought "NO". Ha! Ok so not many ideas, but I settled on a "art" kind of thang. Like reviews on music I am currently listening to (old &amp; new), films I have seen, photographers I like, books I have read and such.. </div><div> </div><div><div>My first contribution to this blog is going to be a summer compilation (lame I know) but seeing as I am sat outside as the sun sets and rises somewhere else, with a cigarette in my mouth and contemplating having a Cider or not I thought it would be a averagely good idea. So here, in all its glory is my top 10 2009 summer "feel good, I want to dance around a barbecue in my skivvies" track listing.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Nag Champa by Enemies.</div><div>2. Run Into Flowers by M83</div><div>3. Thought I Was by Rainer Maria </div><div>4. Strawberry Letter by Shuggie Otis</div><div>5. Crushed Bones by Why?</div><div>6. Fishing The Sky by The Appleseed Cast</div><div>7. Oh Messy Life - Cap'n Jazz</div><div>8. No Ones Gonna Love You by Band of Horses</div><div>9. Fantastic Apparatus by Dartz!</div><div>10. A Golden Fire by Diamond Family Archive</div><div><br /></div><div>Ok, so I haven't given a description to these as it'll take up <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">way </span>too much space and time as this has taken me nearly an hour already and I gots things to do. Sadly you can't actually listen to the tracks above as I have not provided links but you should at least search them and give them a quick listen. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for checking my utterly useless blog, I will update this as much as possible with things I like. Keep safe &amp; eat Peas. </div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5568816117937304526-6558402810213484555?l=umberworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>umber_http://www.blogger.com/profile/07543496925142872431noreply@blogger.com0
