The upside of cold weather

So, it's far too cold to go out, so what do you do? Well, tonight has been spent drinking red wine and finding amazing free music. Tonight's legal haul included the amazing album by Semi Precious Weapons. I'm probably several months behind but hey, I live in Canada. New York may be an hour away but it may as well be another planet. Semi Precious Weapons are from Brooklyn, managed by BP Fallon, exec produced by Tony Viscontti and described by Alan McGee as 'the most important band in America right now'. And he should know. Perez likes them too, apparently, which is neither here nor there, really. Anyway, their album is free (well it will cost you your email address) from their website (it's in the Shop bit of their website) and it is well worth every typed letter.

Also, a splendid (2 year old) mix from Nag Nag Nag. As anyone who ever saw me out with Paul Gorman would know, I've always been partial to a bit of solid gay club music. Talking of Paul Gorman, I would highly recommend his The Look blog, and indeed his fashion bible, The Look: Adventures In Rock and Pop Fashion - a book that everyone in Toronto would benefit from reading. Obviously its not available here.... It was Paul's blog that introduced me to SPW - they make lovely jewelry too. And yes, that's the American spelling of jewelry.

So, back to snow and glam punk awesomeness. No-one is reading this but somehow I can't help feeling that the internet isn't quite full enough of stream of consciousness drivel yet....
