I can only walk past so many Nazis.

As is usually my habit I am posting this before reading my friendslist, but I'm guessing that at least half of it will be either Snow! :) or Snow! :(, so in deference to your jaded sensibilities I shall avoid the topic.

I've always known there was something bothering me about Klaxons, beyond the praise they were accumulating for fairly mediocre records. Then I read that they wanted to go R&B, 'Ghetto Fabulous' started playing in my head and everything slotted into place. Three post-indie kids who've done dance, done pop and have their eye on R&B? Klaxons are the rubbish Baxendale! And is is so often the case, they're snaffling all the plaudits and sales which eluded their vastly superior predecessor.

The Boys is back in town.

Further to yesterday, it seems I spoke too soon about the Lords: "A Church of England spokesman said: "We...acknowledge that in a house with reduced numbers consideration needs to be given to the appropriate number of Lords Spiritual. We also welcome and agree the recommendation that the wider religious make-up of the UK be reflected by the appointed element of a reformed House". Now, if they meant ensuring that representatives from the National Secular Society, pagan, Satanist and Jedi bodies got seats, fair enough. But why do I suspect that's not going to be the case?

Virgin was full of posh schoolgirls this evening. The world does enjoy its little puns.

Harsh, but fair.

More baxendale fans - I knew there must be a pocket of them somewhere...

I presume that Tim Benton has got bored and decided to do something else?

Last time I saw them was at Cherry Red, I think, and can't even remember where that is now...

Baxendale are OK but Schmoof are better. And talking of groups on the London Synth pop scene, Trademark have a new album out soon.

To my knowledge I've not heard The Klaxons, but the descriptions of them in the press haven't made me interested. Apparently they play Altern-8 rave tuebns, but on guitars. Which sounds awful. What next? Synth-pop played by an indie guitar four piece? Fvckanory.
