This song is just one of the songs that I have been trying to figure out who sings it as I love it when I hear it....on the BT Broadband advert.
Finally I can say that I know who sings it. It is Allie Moss. Here's a video of it, I know it's not probably the best video of this song but at least I have a video to show.
See what you think.

News From Acrosss the Pond
I was just reading Rolling Stone Magazine online and America have done it again with getting itself caught in an embarrasing situation.
According to the magazine two soldiers who were part of Bravo Company's 3rd Platoon who were stationed in Kandahar Province in Afganistan since the summer of last year have shot dead a Afgan boy aged 15 years after spending months before the actual incident talking about killing a haji.
The actual event took place on January 15th last year. In the morning the 3rd Platoon that was part of the 5th Stryker Brigade left their base of Forward Operating Base Ramrod in a convey of armoured Stryker Troop carriers. These then went out across the desert to a little villlage La Mohammad Kalay that was a little isolated farming village that was tucked away behind poppy fields.
To provide permanent protection the soldiers parked the Strykers on the outskirts of the village and set out on foot as local people were suspected of supporting the Taliban and strikes on the US. But whenm they were on foot they saw nothing of the kind, just destitute locals without running water or electricity. If there were any that supported the Taliban they probably chose not to go outside and greet the American soldiers, and chose to strike at a distance away from the soldiers with their IED's.
While a few members from the 3rd Platoon went off into a compound to speak with a village elder, Cpl. Jeremy Murlock and Pfc. Andrew Holms walked away from their unit until they arrived to the edge of the village where they were looking for someone to kill. In amaongst the spiky shoots that were at this time of year low to the ground, they found someone and this was the 15 year old Gul Mudin , who was killed as other offices stood still watching in the distance. He did not appear to be carrying anything even that would be construed as a weapon.
This sounds like to me that these soldiers were stupid as it sounds like they thought that: ' The Government have given me a gun what's the use in having a gun if your not goin' to need to use it all the time'.

Under the Radar Movie News
I've just been over to Empire.com and I have seen a 'teaser trailor' for the film with Daniel Radcliffe that is coming out later this year. It looks good to me and like something that I would go and watch which is strange as I will admit that I scare very easily and over the past couple of years chosen not to see any scary film in case it scares me. I am not ashamed to admit this, but I think seeing the film 'Haloween H20' at a friends house when I was six years old might have something to do with how badly I don't like scary films.
So here is the 'teaser trailor', see what you think. I have also heard who the nemis for the new Superman. It will be General Zod and this will be played by Michael Shannon. I've recently seen him in an episode of Law and Order Special Victims Unit and he was absolutly great in that, but he's also been in Revolutionary Road. That will at least stop the rumours flying about about who will play Superman's arch enemy.

Chairlift
I saw this song ages ago on NME TV round the same time as Marina and the Diamonds brought out their first single 'Robot'. This is true that Marina brought this song out first as lots of bands do this, they bring out a song and if it either gets picked up by radio stations or it gets lots of people downloading it, listening to it or just lots of press coverage then it goes on to bigger and better things, but if it doesn't get either of these then it gets dropped as the first single and another more popular tune gets put out to the masses as the bands first single instead of this one.
But I heard Chairlift's song and loved it as it more often than not got stuck in my head. This though was a good thing as most of the songs that get stuck in my head are really annoying songs like 'Taylor Swift' songs or 'Justin Bieber' songs.
I know this is from an Apple Advert but on it's own it's great. Well I think so anyway!. I just thought I've not heard from this band in a while, so I wonder what their up to now.

As I have probably shouted from the rooftops already on here, I'm now on twitter following celebrities and bands alike, but I was thinking last night that to me following bands and other people on twitter sounds a lot like 'Stalking'. Or it sounds very ominous when it comes up on the screen that 'you are now following...x' .
I also was thinking last night of a song I had heard when I went for a drink a couple of weeks ago that has been stuck in my head ever since I first heard of it and it is really annoying me that I don't know who sings it. But one way or another I will find out who it is that sings this song even if it brakes me!

Metronomy
I think I've become a fan all over again with Metronomy as I'd heard them 2yrs ago and I really liked them but again no one was playing them on the airwaves but I was the only one talking about them which frstrated me no end. I was also talking about them to friends at school and everyone who would listen was looking at me like i was saying another language to them as no one had heard of them. However, I have had another listen to another song of theirs which I judged too harshly beforehand, so I hope you like them as much as me.
Patrick Wolf News
This is the most recent news on Patrick Wolf I could find on NME online.
His new Album that will be released on May 30th 2011. It also has been renamed from 'The Conquerer' to 'Lupercalia'. Also NME mentioned in their last issue that Patrick has moved away from his old sound of music into a more romantic sound which for me sounds like it could be intersting as I heard his old stuff thanks to NMEs' playlist with 'Accident and Energency' which introduced me into his music.
This is going to be the track listing for the new album:
'The City'
'House'
'Bermondsey Street'
'The Future'
'Armistice'
'William'
'Time Of My Life'
'The Days'
'Slow Motion'
'Together'
'The Falcons'
The opening of this album will be released as a single on March 14th, so I'l be waiting for this with baited breath and I hope he doesn't do what so many bands do which is they release a song which sounds great but then as it's not sold so many copies in terms of singles then they release another song and then everybody can't stop talking about them. A classic example of this is 'Friendly Fires' as me and the SUN Newspapers's music journalist heard of them months before they became possible with the amazing 'Paris' and I fell in love with their original video for this song and then they redid it.
Here's the new look Patrick. In my opinion he sounds like a more modern 'Smiths'. Which is fine by me any day.
