Recent findings!

Apperently then, I'm still terrible at maintaining a regular blog. Often I have plenty to talk about however, as previously mentioned, I am quite lazy at times. On other occasions, I struggle to find anything interesting enough to talk about. SO, I  thought I might have a little natter about some of my recent findings, i.e. music, film, TV, art.. Whatever!
Here goes.

Flight of The Conchords
For ages now, FOTC has been on my endless list of things to get round to watching. I'm almost embarrassed that it's taken me so long to see it! It's so my cup of tea! It really is delightful, and yes, I cringe at myself for using that word. I've instantly fallen in love with Brett, Jemaine & Murray, I love the New Zealand accent, I love Brett's jumpers and their songs are such perfectly constructed parodies of genres. It's my new favourite thing and I might be a little bit obsessed with it.

Looper
Finally I got to see it and I wasn't disappointed. When it came out at the cinema, I was dying to see it but the opportunity never really arose. I admit that one contributing factor that stopped me seeing it for so long was that I wasn't too sure about the facial mixing of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis.. If Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in a film, I pretty much just want to stare at his beautiful face. Anyway, I did enjoy the film, the narrative wasn't exactly what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised.

In Bruges
Another film on the endless list of films I needed to see. I really enjoyed it actually, the colour palette is gorgeous (sorry that's the design student in me, speaking) and I do like a surprisingly dark comedy. This film also gave me an excuse to spend the rest of the evening speaking with an Irish accent.. (any excuse)..

Foals
(also on the neverending list.. blah blah blah) Finally got around to having a browse through their discography and found some familiar tracks. I really like their newer stuff but that might be because I seem to be hearing it all over the place recently!

Young The Giant
I don't really know a lot about this band yet as I really just stumbled upon them by accident. That said, I'm looking forward to looking into them a bit more as I'm really liking their sound. The singer's voice is really nice and they're a pretty easy band to listen to. Favourite songs so far: Cough Syrup and Strings.

So there you go. WHO KNOWS, maybe I'll do this regularly (hahahahahaha)
