DANANANANAYKROYD Yes, that's actually their name. And it took a while, but I've actually learnt how to say it! I'll be brief. Here is four of the few facts I know about Dananananaykroyd: 1. They're signed to Moshi Moshi Records (which makes them worth a listen whichever way you look on it). 2. They have six members, including two drummers. 3. The bass player is married to one of the guys from
KANYE WEST featuring Mr Hudson - Paranoid OK, let's get this straight. I'm not a massive fan of Kanye West. Sure, I like some of his stuff, but I've never listened to an album of his all the way through, for example.

Their myspace says influences include Pavement, Broken Social Scene, Yo La Tengo and Destroyer (among many others), which may be one of the reasons
OK, so rubbish band names have probably been picked out as something to write about on blogs a million times before. But I decided to do it again, just for the sake of my own amusement, and hopefully yours. So let's have a good old rant! !!! Seriously, what were they thinking?! !!!

As I was listening to the new Britney Spears single for the fifth time the other day, I realised how much her music has grown on me. Before, I wouldn't have listened to a Britney Spears song if somebody had paid me to. So what is it that's made me suddenly enjoy her music?
