RANDON NOTES:


Congratulations to Imogen Heap for receiving two Grammy Award nominations. She's up for 'Best New Artist' and the 'Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media (Cant Take It In from The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe)'. And Happy Birthday to Immi today, have fun in Aspen. Also really enjoying the Headlock b-side 'Mic Check' from another beautifully packaged cd single (way to go Ryan Obermeyer).


XOLondon pointed me in the direction of Tracey Thorn's MySpace site where she is streaming a great new track called 'It's All True' that will be the first single from her new album 'Out Of The Woods' due out in March.

I like checking Nick's blog '#1 Hits From Another Planet regularly and have found some great new bands through it. One of my favourite tracks I discovered on his site is Universal Poplab's 'Heart Apart' and it is still available through his website to download

Over at the Good Weather For Airstrikes blog there are three tracks by new U.K. band Goodbooks available for download. This includes their new single 'Leni' which is quite good and was also mentioned by XOLondon recently. And over at the fluokids blog there is the Leni (Kissy Sell Out Remix) available for download.

Really enjoying some television series this year including 'Prison Break', the surprise for me 'Brothers And Sisters' (thanks most likely to Greg Berlanti (Everwood) being involved), 'Ugly Betty' (the scene with Vanessa Williams trying to act tough when she met some hookers on a seedy street was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while), Heroes (on January 1st NBC will be airing a Heroes marathon in case you've missed any episodes but I guess you can watch them all online anyway), Jericho and still watching LOST. Looking forward to the return of 24 in January.
