Do a barrel roll

Google have officially lost the plot.... I just attempted to search for "do bee eaters migrate" and must have finger-slipped, looked up at the screen and thought my eyes had gone momentarily crazy.

Search on google for "do a barrel roll" and see for yourself.

download music for free

Found this to be quite helpful...



Where can i download music for free? - Yahoo! Answers: "Copy and paste this into google:

intitle:"index.of" (file type) band.name.song.name.or.album.name

For example if you were looking for Queens of the Stone Age mp3s:

intitle:"index.of" (mp3) sick.sick.sick
or
intitle:"index.of" (mp3) era.vulgaris
or
intitle:"index.of" (mp3) queens.of.the.stone.age

The pages you find with this should look like this:
http://soudinet.free.fr/Musiques/Queens%…

You will get some dodgy pages just make sure the files you download are mp3s."

Ahhhhh

Oh my word. Florence is sooo annoying. Each to their own and everything, I just don't understand why people like her so much. Okay so her voice is fine when she sticks to the lower range but anything above that is pure caterwauling.

PJ, Tori and Bjork. Now they can wail. And they sound great doing it. They sound like they're unleashing something other-worldly - strange and beautiful.

But Florence?! No, i'm sorry. I feel like my ears are going to bleed.

Also, she is extremely annoying. Have you ever heard her doing an interview?!

Now she is releasing songs entitled "What the water gave me" named after a Frida Kahlo painting... which annoys me greater still, due to the fact:

Firstly - I love that painting and...

Secondly - I happened to write a song when I was about 15 (over a decade ago) about the exact same subject, with the exact same title! I literally almost baulked when I read about it in NME. What are the odds?
Not that it particularly matters much, it's hardly as if I'm competing or anything silly like that... It's just that it seems freakishly co-incidental and I don't really like the idea of sharing similar inspirations to Florence.

Also, she has cut her hair and is trying her very best to look like that Morris lady who was a model for the pre-raphealite brotherhood. In other words, she's trying to look like a spectacularly beautiful oil painting.

Stop it now Florence! For the love of art, STOP!

Oh and....

Okay, so I have to admit, Brian creeps me out a little bit. I don't mind placebo though so don't get offended.

Thought this was worth posting anyway... never could've imagined PJ Harvey and Brian Molko in the same space together...
