First of all, an apology. My writing has been sporadic, predictable and a little shoddy of late. My life is full of conflicting situations at the moment, one often attempting to drag the others down with it. Work is hectic but promising with a range of fun events passed and upcoming, including my first confirmed band booking with a few other in the pipeline. More on that as I know the details and the contracts are finalised etc. However, it is all very exciting. Then there's the flat situation which obviously the less said about the better in these parts. Luckily to calm me down, I have great friends and a wonderful, supportive girlfriend so this is a quick public thank you to those of you that have helped me through the last few weeks, appreciate it.

So while I try and gather my thoughts during another day in the office, I'll give you a quick heads up on the fantastic new Ladyhawke single that hits the shops today, My Delirium. This is in fact the 4th single by the singer but the first that has managed to grab my attention. It is of course, fantastically produced which is why I'm all over it at the moment. If you shut your eyes and listen hard, trying to identify each instrument, it is a real joy to pick out why the second verse has extra urgency, why the chorus is as catchy as it is. I'm yet to hear the rest of the album but I will get it and if My Delirium is only the 4th single, I'm expecting some big big things from it.

Also, the new Howling Bells track is also pretty fine, and you can download it free from their website. Definately worth checking out.

I'll also TRY and throw in my opinions on my favourite albums of this year though I wouldn't expect any surpirses to be honest. If you've been reading this since the beginning, it'll be pretty easy to predict what'll be up there and maybe even my favourite. I'll let you know when I've decided. In the meantime, enjoy the video for ladyhawke.
