Nobody likes eager girls :/

Hey userz,

As all of you users know, clingy people are not a good thing. After all, FTCZ was guilty when we did our daily updates back in November (what were we thinking?!?). But there's proper ways to do these things, and we've learnt the hard way that hot and cold tactics never helps anyone (really funny story).

So of course it's getting to be a bit of an annoyance when i go to my hotmail, eagerly awaiting a "wazzup gangster/you are teh hot" message from facebook, only for it to be from Little Boots' outta control newsletter.

"But Cillian", you say, "If you don't like it then why don't you unsubscribe like a sensible person. Stop moaning about it in your blog.In fact, didn't you say you'd complain less for lent..."

I'll have to stop you there, you awfully nosey reader, simply because i'm quite fond of Little Boots and like many other bands, I enjoy the occasional newsletter. Anf FTCZ highly approves of her awesome youtube vids (see her middle-of-the-night version of Stuck on Repeat). But what FTCZ doesn't like is that we've been notified that her album was 'nearly finished' several times and get told about the still not sold out UK tour (yet no love for Dublin or Cork) quite often.

The best thing Little Boots can do is chop down the emails and do bigger ones with more content. And more importantly: Release her album and play more dates! Like the almighty Yeah Yeah Yeahs (best band ever, by the way), she's a bit guilty of riding the hype train and not releasing enough stuff, like Florence and the Machine.

Luckily for Florence, i've seen her live while eating a pie, so I have nothing but good things to say about her :D

Hey internet users,

Sorry for the shabby amount of updates over the past two months. There's loads of reasons why but 'didn't want to' isn't a pretty strong argument. Fortunately we're gonna be updating lots again :D

We're also dumping everything we liked about '08 and getting with '09. Late of the Pier? More like Late of the Old (rofl).Crystal Castles? More like 2008 Castles. We're gonna be raving about passion pit and little boots and joy formidable till you're sick of 'em. Also, there'll be lotsa coverage of Crystal Castles and LOTP.

So start visiting this blog again.

Hey Guys!

There have been a serious lack of updates on this thing for a good while!!!
FindtehApologiez will be created soon!

However since all of you are fans of 8-bit music im sure you wont mind a re-appearance with this Choonz-tastic Blog!

If any of you had a dubiously nerdy/dangerous friend who enjoyed copyright infrigment when you were 12 I'm sure you will all be aware of the fact that keygens often have class music. While the actual keygen is like juggling fire, a real good virus scanner is needed, oftentimes these things have absolute gems of Choons on them. These lil soundbits hark back to the days when consoles only had 8- bit colour and 8-bit sound!! The guys that make these things have had the decency to put all the ripped off atari music onto the one website for our aural pleasure!!!

For all you CC fans keep your Kleenex near ;)

Big B

:D

Hey peeps,

While Coachella is seen as the big dealio for bands reforming and all that, there's one band that's about to make their big Irish comeback this December...HangingBox :O

While mentioning your friends' bands on your blog is pretty tacky:

1. We're super tacky

2.They're decent enough to warrant some kind of mention.

Their last Irish gig was the world first 3d gig, which ended with door being ripped off hinges and the police being called (i missed that bit) which rivals most stuff Fucked up and Crystal Castles brag about (maybe not crystal castles actually).Also i ended up getting another pair of 3d specs to add to my collection :D

Dead Disco ain't dead

Hey peeps,

We're gonna get back to regular posting since assignments are, well not dying down, but less crippling than they usually are.Although i'm just short of 3 weeks late on this one deadline...hmmm.....

Anyway, we've been getting hundreds of emails asking us to write about Little Boots.And by hundreds, i mean none.

She is, of course, the awesome former singer of Dead Disco (they're selling off the last of their merchanise apparently, so FTCZ may indulge in a tshirt.We don't care if they're girls ones or not.The lines are too blurred).

Anyway Mixmag, which we love for having loadsa hot girls in it, put her in their unusually good New School edition. Toddla T, Deadmau5 and Surkin all made it in the issue too which = epic win.

Anywayz, she seems to be doing a decent job of being solo so be sure to give her myspace, or if you're any bit repectable, her last fm/facebook a look.

If cd is to lighthouse, then dvd is to ________

Hey peeps,

Just a quick reminder that the end of the year is coming which means we'll be publishing our awesome (dragonforce-free) albums and singles of the year respectively. We've surpassed our life expectancy by a million billion days, or however many it's been, so we're gonna reward ourselves with something even more self-indulgent than usual (Mr. A is getting his nails done and a perm today to get the self indulgance rolling), while Big B, whose reverting to sploody i think (google it if you wanna see what message boards he hits), is indulging in c++ which is some engineering thing.

Anywayz, i wrote up a rough draft of both while neglecting my dissertation, so i'll send it around to several necessary parties to get their two cents, and if you have any suggestion, post em. You might get lucky and they'll already be on the list :)

In cross-promotional blog new, check back to findtehfadz soon for awesome halloween photos (what did you FTCZ guys do???) and be nice to saveourshoes and leave them a comment. We fully intend to launch findtehfashionZ in the future so we can be really boyish and win at fashion blogging, so they need all the help they can get. I kid you not...

Cool List Alert!

Hey peeps,

I have a headache and my lack of love for you is the reason i haven't been blogging.That and my dissertation. But then again, maybe you should moan at findtehchoons@gmail.com so i dpn't blatantly ignore to do so.

Anyway, NME cool list is out yet again :O

This year Alice Glass tops the list (way better than the Gallows guy from last year or Beth Ditto the year before) which was awesome.

But my personal favourite in at number 4 was her VVV



Ladyhawke is pretty awesome despite celeb sites latching on to her a little. Those sites should learn that she's none of their business. I'd rather she stayed alt and poor than have any publicity but that might be the headache talking.

Theres loadsa awesome people on the list apart from her ("like you" - no not like me sarcastic, i-visit-the-quietus-twice-a-day-and-read-rolling-stone-for-their-world-views, stupid reader). Its up for free on the nme office blog or,you know, in the magazine, so be sure to check it out.
