Because of the fact that Anthony is taking a trip to spain there wont be much updating here just for a little bit, im sorry to have to do this, but i hate to have new visitors come to the site and say "why arent there any new posts".
Me, Alex, and Anthony are all extremely busy right now and will try and keep you up to date on everything that is happening, but unfortunately cannot do that if we cannot keep in contact with Ant for a week or so haha!
So keep visiting the site, we love to hear from you!

Une Autre Cover
This is a quick one, wish I could give this cover of Razorlight's "Somewhere Else" the gushing it deserves but alas, I'm off. Give it a listen/watch. It's sure to please! Comme toujours? Mais oui!
Merci mes amours, Alex
I leave you with some Jeff Buckley:
"Ah mon amour
dans tes grande yeuxs
a toi toujours
rien que nous deux"

New Oasis Cover
of Live Forever. It's quite possible this is my favorite Oasis song ever....besides Supersonic and Some Might Say...anyhow. There have been some kind of childish remarks on the video but it really is yet again, another stellar cover. I think it's the best cover he's done so far. There's just something indescribably lovely about this song and version.

A little PR
Since Ant is so busy, I don't think it'd be too outrageous to go off topic at this time and do a little PR for some people who I also enjoy listening to:
~~~~~~UPDATE:
Shotgun Crackers
There's just something really refreshing and catchy about their songs. I'll be taking some more listens once spazz stops being so slow, but I can tell they remind me a bit of The Kinks with some of the vocals in parts. Sometimes you just want music that's uncomplicated and happy, not meant for deep thought...just singing and dancing!
Shotgun Cracker's Spazz
Fabienne Delsol
Sounds so much like Holly Golightly and April March it's really not a joke. Holly Golightly is a favourite of mine so I highly recommend Fabienne. She sings not only in English but French as well, comme April.

Easterband
Easterband is the band Johänna's mum is in. They remind me of a cross between the Scottish band Big Country in it's earlier days, and The Sugarcubes from Iceland. Big Country had the traditional folk sound mixed with modern rock down well and in The Sugarcubes, Einar's voice was very unique, gruff. They're two of my favorite bands actually and Easterband reminds me of them. Take a listen!

LemonDrop Records
is the new record label Kevin at The Pelican's Perch has started with his amigo Charlie (not the dude from Driveshaft though....although I do sing "you all everybody" everytime I hear his name...).
Kevin also writes his own music and will be recording it in the studio soon, with all the bells and whistles! His blog is one that I read on a daily basis, because the music he posts about is just fantastic.
The approach to this new record label is one I think everyone could get behind. To read more about it, visit:

Anton Nessvi
is a Swedish musician Elin introduced me to through her blog. This kid has got mad skillz. His cover of Arctic Monkey's "A Certain Romance" is one that everyone should hear. And his original song "Cherrytree Hills" showcases that he can not only write, but sing his own material.
"And I think you should know that there's no other pills,
that can take you to places like Cherrytree Hills"

Rob Davies
is an English musician that Ant did a plug for and since then, I'm hooked. He's talented for sure, just like Anton. He has three original songs up on his myspace page and they are so definitely worth your time to hear. He's a great guitar player and lyricist.

Miss Pennie Lane
is a youtuber. She covers mostly Lily Allen songs and a few others. Her voice is heavenly. She hits those high notes and voila! She'd love to hear what you think, and maybe you could join the bandwagon that could convince her to do full songs! It's terrible to hear her wonderful voice for only half the song's length!

Faceless Witch
who's real name is Rose, has done a great great great cover of Ant's "Girls In Stereo". She calls it an 'attempt' but I think it's a winner! Ant's getting so famous people are covering him! She's also covered Kate Nash and has an original song as well. Check her out!

That's all the PR I can think of for now, but please check them out and if you like what you hear let them know!
Terimah kasih, Alex

Covers I'd Like to See
Ant is busy, that's for certain, but if the ol' bean gets a chance here and there to learn some of these, that'd be simply marvelous! These are the songs I'd like to see him do covers of. If there's one you'd like to see, leave it in the comments!
In no particular order:
I know it takes a lot of work to learn these and practice them, but these are the ones I'd like to hear Ant's interpretations of.
Also, another little helpful thing for you to woo your ladies in Sweden with Anthony, this here will help with the pronunciation. It's 100% free, no gimmicks and downloads in like, pfft, 10 seconds about. I use it for my Slovak and I've downloaded every other language on the list as well. I'm that in love with learning new languages! Give it a whirl, no doubt Elin and Johanna won't be able to resist you!
Laew phob gan mai!, Alex
In no particular order:
- Al Stewart-Year of the Cat
- Wreckless Eric-Whole Wide World
- Tiny Tim-Tip Toe Through The Tulips (ooh I'm evil!)
- Jeff Buckley-Your Flesh Is So Nice/Yard Of Blonde Girls (normally I would give someone hell if they tried to cover a Buckley song, that's how strongly I feel about his music, but you know what, Ant could very well pull these off!)
- Timo Räisänen-Don't Let The Devil Ruin It All
- The Fratellis-Whistle For The Choir
- The Boy Least Likely To-Be Gentle With Me
- The Von Bondies-Mairead/Cass & Henry
- Guillemots-Made Up Love Song #43 -Trains to Brazil
- The Bravery-Bad Sun
