Hello!

Just thought I would write another journal about what is going on my my musical world at the moment. It was my birthday last month so I got a lot of music (and money for spending on music).

First band I have been really into are The Hold Steady who are BRILLIANT! Anyone looking for proper blue-collar american rock or Bruce Springsteen-esque tunes then look no further than these guys. The new album "Boys And Girls In America" is absolutely fantastic.

Second, I got a lot of Bowie for my birthday (I decided it was about time I got really into him). My collection of Bowie is building steadily. I have been listening to the "Changesbowie" album a lot as well as "Aladdin Sane" and a smigdin of "Heroes". All of which are amazing. More Bowie is definitely needed.

Third, I recently bought the Arcade Fire EP which is fabulous. I really recommend that people hunt that out if they are in the mood for some weird (but lovely) Canadian rock.

Fourth, I have only JUST got my hands on the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Stadium Arcadium" album. Both discs are brilliant. I really love "Slow Cheetah" from the Jupiter disc.

What else? Um, I went to see the New Simon Pegg film (anyone who knows me will know that I had been looking forward to it coming out since JUNE because I worship Pegg). The soundtrack is great! We have some of The Fratelli's, The Kinks and Supergrass thrown in so check that you if you're in the mood for some good tunage.

Other than that I am listening to Maximo Park because they rule and Guillemots (I went to the gig at Birmingham on Valentine's day and they blew my tiny mind!!!!!!). If anyone fancies a cool cover check out Guillemots version of "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand. It is mental.

Hope all is well. Love Lil Han xxMaximo ParkThe Hold SteadyDavid BowieArcade FireRed Hot Chili PeppersGuillemotsBoys And Girls In America"Heroes"Stadium ArcadiumA Certain TriggerChangesbowieTake Me OutThe FratellisCaught By The Fuzz
