The depths of my Ipod, that is. Was just leaving town on my way home from work today when Nosebleed by Illinois popped up on my stereo. I have no idea where I got it from and don't remember hearing it before today, but I played it half a dozen times before arriving home. They use one [...]

Having said that though, every song is highly recommended and should be checked out by your good self immediately! Can't Take It In - Imogen Heap This song comes from the [...]

I bet this is how Justin Timberlake thinks he sounds when he sings this little ditty... Sexyback (Cover) - The Guillemots And for those of you who may be wondering why I've allowed mention of Justin Timberlake on my blog, it's only to showcase the good humour of the Guillemots, and to prove that the put on throatiness of their [...]
