High friends in places (song reference for the 1st time ever)

Hey users,

As you know we like to keep promises around here. And by that, we often run out of ideas and have no choice but to steal our old ones. So be sure to look out for our terribly photographed/reviewed TV on the Radio/Max Tundra gigs very soon. The photos are so bad, you'll think you actually were me in the drunken, pilled-up state i seemed to be in.

In the meantime, it's time to moan about a band we actually like: High Places.

As a contender for making the greatest EP ever, and one that i couldn't stop listening to when i was in France last year, High Places will always have a place on my iPod. We can forgive them for looking grubby and not very rockstar-like (i had to rephrase that a few times - you can word that really weirdly). Greeting The Light is defo one of FTCZ faves from last year too (as long as you don't ask those other losers - why am i always the one blogging???).

When they got used in last week's ep of Skins, they even prompted queries as to who they were from a room with 6 girls and me (I couldn't have been more miserable). You'll be pleased to know i was annoyed enough from there raunchy girl talk that i didn't tell them. Girls need to learn manners. Especially girls following this blog.

But upon revisiting their rather expensive debut LP (i forget how much, but i paid lots), the love disappears a little. It's a massive case of 'what were they thinking???'. I guess they thought being music types gave them room to express themselves. How uncool of them. They should have tried to express themselves in defined ways.

But despite this, we have faith in our bands around here. Unless they've been awarded the poison pill that is our album of the week of course (none will ever come back from that - nobody that's gotten it has had any real success).

But as for High Places, we see them getting back on that horse and getting the job done right next time. That or we'll give there next album our 'album of the week' title. So be warned....
