yeah yeah some stuff yeah

hello. been in the studio. writing songs. no news there then. here's some non studio related stuff....

some stuff that i liked this week :

SIMON VON BOOY

This book is beautiful and amazing and beautiful and amazing. Just buy it.

TOPSHOP

New season. Want. Everything. Especially these.

ANGELOS EPITHEMIOU'S HAIR

I listened to him at Reading, couldn't see the hair though as I am about 2 ft tall.

HOME GROWN

Been eating off my roof most days lately. Get this, those tomatoes were grown UPSIDE DOWN!

SWAG

The first time I've ever been left jaw dropped in anything other than horror from an X Factor audition. Genius.

ROAST OFF

Kind of a cross between Come Dine With Me and Ready Steady Cook, you all make one element of a roast dinner to perfection so you end up with a perfect roast dinner. Warning, does involve some oven tetris.

GRANDMA's HOUSE

I went to see Simon Amstell do stand up at the Royal Court last year and keep finding some of his jokes from then popping up in this show. People I've spoken to about it find it hard to get in to but seriously once you do its absolutely brilliant I really hope he does another series. Can't decide who my fav is... Liz. Clive. Liz. Aargh... all of them

NOT SO GREAT STUFF

Actually I just deleted everything I put as its not good to be negative (aka I daren't have any kind of public opinion on anything nowadays other than over exaggerated praise in the fear it will be misconstrued into something terrible I never said).

GOING TO SINGAPORE NOW IF YOU HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS OF STUFF TO SEE TWEET ME I'VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE! DJing AT STEREOLAB ON FRIDAY NIGHT IF YOU ARE THERE!! DON'T KNOW WHY I AM SHOUTING LOLZROFLETC.

ok going to cry about losing my iphone and being DECLINED my insurance claim, damn you carphone warehouse....

and maybe listen to everything but the girl......

and definitely NOT eat any chocolate.......................

and watch mad men on the plane.....

actually i just thought of something bad, not just losing my phone but LOSING MY LEVEL ON ANGRY BIRDS!

ok i am a loser i'm going now x

THIS WEEK'S STUFF!

stuff this week that has been deemed....

GOOD

RIDICULOUS MEALS

had literally the most amazing meal ever this week at Viajante, it was more like art than food. The best part was when we were asked what meat we were eating, to which we were told 'Watermelon'.

COCKNBULL KID DOING 90s

our lovely friend is anita is back with amongst other things an excellent cover of rui da silva's 'touch me' (sure i have a vague memory of dancing round my bedroom with her to this circa 2008). anyway check it out and keep an eye out for new stuff at www.myspace.com/cockbullkid (NB NO 'THE' ANYMORE!)

iPAD!

so beautiful. so pointless. didn't need, just wanted. like all the best things in life.

WONDERFUL VIDEO

we like Hurts a lot and here is their new video for 'Wonderful Life' (although please can you hurry up and release stay and/ or silver linings SOON!). if ony reality was this slick.

TREASURE HUNT!

our favourite record label ever (well they did release The Lodger back in the day) has made music history by being the first label to release via the format of buried treasure. we're sure all the major labels are going to catch on and soon you'll only be able to get sugababes albums by drilling under the sea or something, but for now all the info on how to find it (or just buy it if you are not in the mood for digging) is here.

BAD(ish)

INCEPTION OVERKILL

why is everyone freaking out about this film so much?? does no one else think it was an hour and a half too much of leo doing a bad james bond impression in the matrix?? obvs not...

1-2-3-4-BANG

we went to nathan-barley-the-festival last weekend, mainly to see these new puritans, who managed to get about 4 seconds into their set before the soundsystem blew up. rubbishness.

UGLY

NO MORE BRITISH FILM COUNCIL

some people are trying to say this is a good thing but one of the people who said this didn't think trying to recreate four weddings was a good idea, so we'll just have to agree to disagree. 

ok its the weekend..........pls don't rain........... BYE!

  It is a shame that the powers that be have decided to ditch the UK film council. Surely seems like a backwards step for british film making in the end :[ x

this week's good/ bad/ ugly

GOOD!

YOGA

Its official, we're back on the yoga. The words 'dog', 'face' and 'down' will never sound the same again.  Legwarmers optional.

KLAXON'S NEW ALBUM

Pretty loud. Pretty weird. Pretty bloody good.

If you are a fan its worth checking out Jamie Reynold's reading list in this weeks NME to accompany the album.

YOUNG BLOOD

This is literally the best foundation I have found in aaages... all their products are mineral based so your face feels like a beautiful precious stone.... or maybe that's just my interpretation.

ANNA PRIOR'S BANANA LOAF

(Please note this was not anna's actual loaf, hers was much better looking)

When not being a superstar drummer for Metronomy and Primary 1, Anna is also an excellent baker! Here is her recipe *warning* this is extremely addictive

Banana Tea Bread

225g SR Flour
1/4 teaspoon Bicarb
pinch salt
75g Butter
175g Caster sugar
2 eggs, beaten
450g bananas weighed with skin, peeled and mashed.
100g Walnuts, chopped (optional)

1. Heat oven 180c (Gas 4). Grease and line the loaf tin.

2. Mix together flour, bicarb and salt.

3. Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, add the eggs a little at a time alternately with the flour.

4. Stir in the remaining flour, bananas and walnuts, place in the prepared tin and bake for about 1 1/4 hours.

5. Cool on a wire rack

Easy!

BAD!

POLO FAIL

 Getting so drunk at polo we forgot our own names and all fell asleep in the car home. This is what happens when you allow northerners into posh events (disclaimer: only two thirds of the above are actually northern)

COINCIDENCE?

Katie Price arriving at her wedding in a replica A team van on her reality show, followed by an advert in the commercial break two minutes later for the new A team movie. Hmm...

UGLY!

MERCURY FAIL

These New Puritans not being nominated for the Mecury music prize. One of the few fitting moments in life to use the emoticon ;-(

Ok that was my week in stuff, its friday now so ENJOY THE WEEKEND ! x

  loving all the updates! love you! love your music! always good to hear from you! and loved the news on cocknbullkid, but just wanted to point out that in the myspace link for anita, you accidentally left out the 'n' in cocknbullkid, so it leads to a myspace for cockbullkid (instead of cocknbullkid) which leads to just a broken link/error - if you get a chance, repost with the 'n' in the myspace link (http://www.myspace.com/cocknbullkid) so others can check out anita's phenomenal music if they're not familiar with her (particularly my friends in the states here who don't follow amazing UK music like yours and anita's! best! :)

REMIX COMPETITION AT LAST!!

hi folks

so please accept mine and all at boots hq apologies for the remix competition to tak SOOOOO long i finally being announced, but i hope everyone who took part enjoyed it and everyone who didn't enjoys listening to the results, i think more than anything its just a great way for people to be creative and share their output with others. in other words as old people always say, ITS THE TAKING PART THAT COUNTS.

anyway we are please to announce the winner was by SuperNoir which you can listen to by clicking HERE but you can listen to ALL the remix entries below (if i've embedded it right) or on the soundcloud page. enjoy and thanks everyone who took part, hopefully we can do it again (a lot quicker!) in future!!

Little Boots Remix Competition

in other remix news, our partners in crime LOVERS & GAMBLERS have got a couple of new remixes up, including one of Young Fathers (which you can buy now on iTunes) and my favourite one yet of our tour mates Class Actress. To listen click the ace of base artwork that we will one day photoshop all of our heads onto (although to be fair there's not actually that much work needed!)

  Hmmm... it still looks like the winner is the Mortals Aftershock Mix though on that Soundcloud set (it's highlighted at the top of the list, with a massive waveform and all, just waiting for someone to press play - whereas the winner just gets a link on the easily skimmed word "here"). That and the headline "Remix Competion At Last" are the main things that stand out, creating a flase connection.
  
  You can also embed individual tracks from Soundcloud as well. Might be a good idea to do that with the wining entry, above the embedded set., so that there's no doubting which the winner is ;-) Possibly a bit too much too late now though...

  allesredukt 05.08.2010 @ 05:57:31AM

  I dig this song so much that I'm actually enjoying hearing it over and over in all these different versions. I can't say that about most remix compilations I've heard. This deserves an official release if there hasn't been one.

  
  
• 
  Kevvy 04.08.2010 @ 12:33:45PM

  Good to see the Soundcloud player cleaned up, with all the irrelevant stuff removed. Nice :-)

  
  
• 
  Kevvy 27.07.2010 @ 15:47:53PM

  About time! Do something about the listed Soundcloud tracks though. You've embedded it right, but obviously paid no attention to what it contains!
  
  Don't know if you've noticed, but hardly ANY of the ones that can be seen without scrolling are actually remixes of your song - they're remixes (probably bootlegs) and tracks submitted SINCE THE CLOSING DATE by people hijacking ("spamming") your competion in shameless self-promotion. And people are still doing it! Preventing people from being able to submit tracks might have been a good idea, though I don't know if you can do that in Soundcloud.
  
  So now (at the time of writing), the person who only uploaded a mix just 4 days ago, is highlighted at the top of the list and looking to all intents and purposes like they're the winner. Someone I've spoken to already thinks that is the case!
  
  Just looks a shambles.
  
  PS - What was the prize in the end?
