One Year
Blog Birthday cake with thanks to MS Painter!
The blog is celebrating one year online! Actually it was a year to the day yesterday I made the first post, but I forgot about it!!
In other news, Keep your eye for a ad featuring House Of Mirrors on Sky One in the UK. No more best of news as yet, shouldn’t be too long now. A new single is on the way apparently. Pre-orders for the album has appeared on several more music stores outside the UK. Edit: It seems as if Astralwerks will be releasing the album in North America. More as I have it!
No Brit Award for Doves
Predictably doves did not pick up a Brit award tonight. The award for best British group went to Kasabian. Well done to them.
