I have not one, but TWO giveaways for you. How exciting!

I've been on the fence about Kate Nash for a while, since my initial perception of her as a Lily Allen knock-off left a bad taste in my mouth, but I've been won over by this song, which is starting to get some airplay on Sirius' Left of Center . I'm a sucker for her thick cockney accent, and something about the brutal honesty of her lyrics is disarming yet appealing.

Foals - "Balloons" This song makes me dance in my chair in the NY2LON offices. (People often give me weird looks when I dance, but I [...]

My uncle was in Cornwall last week visiting some UK family (the Tremains!). I have cousins named Cain, Tudor and Demelza! Someone must've been reading/watching Poldark . That side of the family is from St. Agnes and Truro . My grandfather came from a mining family and had 14 siblings. They were hardcore ! I should also add that I make a bitchin' pasty [...]
