cause it feels so empty without me...
I'm back on airwaves - if in a more limited and dumbed down sense...
The Pod at King's College London, a belly full of talent, noise and laughs, has given me back a voice, with my sidey-sidekick Nylon, [Jerone].
You can listen to our first contribution -
our show : WDYD? Big Time (click to lick)
it's haphazard and glorious.
Crystal Fighters, Wild Beasts, Fever Ray, Live Like Lions, Cold Cave are all featured.

epileptic children.
Kinetic Kids may not be doing anything groundbreaking with an electronic night full of "wonk and wobble", but boy oh boy, are they serving it up full and proper on their launch night -
D.I.M., Jakwob, Youngsta, to name a few.
taste a bit:
Alan Pownall - Life Worth Living (Jakwob Remix) [y.s.i.] - something different from the wave of Ellie Goulding's.
but you can get more goods here.
This Friday, 18th December, at Hidden, Vauxhall.
jump on tickets here for £8, or risk it at the door for &10.
I hear multiple orgasmically good things about how they propose to keep movement 10.30-6.30 without even wanting a cig break. YUM.
christmas is 12 days away.
for no particular reason, except the fact that I like these songs for Christmas:
Erlend Oye - Last Christmas (y.s.i.)
Low - Just Like Christmas (y.s.i.)
you see, longest list of three.
more will come.

A word from Vice:
A word from Vice:
Simian Mobile Disco
After making videos for Klaxons and These New Puritans and a billion other amazing projects, Saam Faramand is pretty much our favourite director (something that showed itself when he managed to get half the editorial staff to dance in a box for five minutes each for his last project). Simian Mobile Disco first worked with him in their "Hustler" video when he seemed to get every girl inside Catch to come round and make out with each other. Now, for SMD's new collaboration with Beth Ditto, Saam's brought together the woman from all those Nescafe adverts, sapphism, and electronic drug abuse. He also let us film him make it for our Heroes project with Vodafone - http://bit.ly/8aeJPG
AND:
look what they made:
I'm bruising from the inside out.
It's the time of year when everyone goes nuts for lists, and not just Christmas present lists. I've toyed with the idea of telling you all who I've liked this year, if only to fully decide and prioritise it for myself, but I don't care, so nor should you.
Life will continue as normal here, the longest list you'll see is three.
I went and saw Fever Ray on Saturday, and ever since I've had this silent beat entwined around my bones.
This song has kept it there:
High Places sound like School of Seven Bells having a day off; a beautiful, pained and tribal reverberation from duo Mary Pearson and Rob Barber.

bare with me, if you'll bare this.
regards to Jamie, the gold prospector.
p.s. it is an intentional different spelling, thanks.
