E42s awarding-winning teen drama Skins showcases the lives of a group of Bristol teenagers. With each episode centered around a certain character - often times dealing with heavy issues such as death, divorce, and illness - you are literally able to slip into their "skin." The cast is rotated bi-annually, and series 1 focuses around friends Tony, Sid, Cassie, Michelle, Jal, Chris, Anwar, and Maxxie, and their lifestyle of sex, drugs, and more than just rock'n'roll. Partly what makes Skins so addictive is its stellar soundtrack. Usually staying within the realms of electronic, hip hop, [...]
The Broken Family Band is one of those bands that occupies a happy place in the heart of many an indie fan. Unfortunately, the band felt they had reached their artistic limit last year and the outfit was put to bed. The smart money was on frontman Steven Adams being the first to return to the fray and that bet has come in with his latest outfit, Singing Adams . Adams has assembled an impressive collective of accomplished British indie musicians - Matt Ashton (Saloon and The Leaf Library) takes guitar, Michael Wood (Michaelmas) is on bass, and Melinda [...]

Click here to view the embedded video. I came late to The Broken Family Band party, so I'm jumping in early with Singing Adams , the new band of BFB front man Steven Adams. If you're already familiar with his former band, you know what to expect here. The alt-country leanings may have been toned down considerably, but there's more than enough of the same catchy pop sensibilities and witty lyrics to go around. As a debut single, I Need Your Mind is remarkably self-assured and firmly cements the [...]
30 years since you were laid - m4w - 46 (Afternoon Conversation) Date: 2010-05-03, 8:03PM EDT Reply To This Post We talked this afternoon when I got back in town. Spoke about the fact you have never been married and it's been 30 years since you've been railed. I complimented you on your cute ass and your physic in general. [...]
I haven't talked much about the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party this year. Especially when one considers that, as October wound down last year, I dedicated an entire week to a diatribe of loathing against the University of Florida. I invited the enemy into my bosom to speak in favor of his loathsome, repitilian team. I made a lot of grand statements and talked a lot of trash. And then, this happened . So, I decided to go for a more understated approach this season. It isn't just that I'm still [...]
On Wednesday I saw the Broken Family Band's last ever London gig. One of my favourite bands, they're splitting up after eight years and seven records. According to their website , "We can't pin it on musical differences, we've just decided to quit while we're ahead" but you've got to figure it's frustrating when you think you're one of the best bands in the country and keep putting out records that rarely get airplay. Joanne introduced to me to the BFB's first full-length album Cold Water Songs before we started going out and [...]
I would have dearly loved to have gone to The End of Road Festival this yea r but timing and events have made it impossible this time around so i'll just have to read all the reports and feel sorry for myself as I've heard nothing but good things from everyone who has being before and this year the line up is right up my street, here a just a few of the artists appearing over the three days,The Hold Steady, Steve Earle, Neko Case, Archie Bronson Outfit, Richmond Fontaine, Magnolia Electric Co. ,Sam Baker, [...]
I awoke this morning to the news that the Aussie batting side had collapsed overnight, all out for 160. Our media blames 'a dodgy pitch' and seems strangely reluctant to acknowledge England's blistering bowling attack. With England 3/58 at stumps on Day 2 and up by 230 runs, it looks like another 50 or so will be enough to secure an untouchable lead. Not even the rain can save us now. It's All Over - Broken Family Band [...]
Was Her Mobile Off, Or My # Blocked? - 30 (Columbus, OH) Reply to: pers-r22wu-1262533813@craigsli st.org [ Errors when replying to ads? ] Date: 2009-07-10, 3:53AM EDT I saw this girl on a dating site on July 4th. I thought she was perfect. There were other women that I was intrigued by, but none of them came close to being as perfect. The thing is I actually saw this girl on the site months ago and liked her then, but she deleted her profile. Then she made [...]
It is quite possible that Dr. O'C will kill me for this one, but I think this is the perfect illustration of this pregnancy. I know for a fact that Dr. O'C and I have differing opinions on this, but for me it has just run away. We're in the home stretch now and I don't know where it has gone. With Boy Z in the picture there is little time to wax philosophical or read pregnancy books or stress out or to panic. There have been no antenatal classes and little shopping for baby gear. For the [...]
Just heard this new single from UK outfit The Broken Family Band and I am loving it...feel obligated to share it. The band's brand new record is entitled 'Please And Thank You.' * 'Salivating' MP3
Music aside, gigs like this make me feel good. By making me feel young. Last time I was at this venue I was surrounded by teeny tiny teenagers rushing the stage at a No Age gig. This time it's more about the receding hairlines and middle-aged spread, and yeah, I ...
Image From Here Ah, yes the battle wages on. Am somewhat equipped (sort of) with the armor to fight it but just don't have the inner strength yet. And, the other thing is I don't like Mondays. I read somewhere that Monday is heart attack day . Apparently, the stress of starting a new week causes many to have a heart attack. Man, that is fucking depressing. My favorite day is either Friday or Saturday, it's a toss up which one is better. And being depressed can trigger weird things to happen [...]

It's one of rock'n'roll's most worn-out cliches that the Devil has the best tunes. But as this selection highlights, Jesus has his fair share of great songs too. MP3: Neutral Milk Hotel - The King of Carrot Flowers Parts Two & Three There's something slightly menacing about this song, the second track on Neutral Milk Hotel's masterpiece In The Aeroplane Over Sea . In fact, I've found that singing the opening aloud after a few pale ales does indeed scare people. [...]
