This week I was mostly listening to
Through Solace – The World on Standby
Absolutely stunning! It’s been so nice to follow over the last few years this bands evolution from metalcore start-ups to serious players. Technically very impressive and a nice more melodic edge to their still-brutal sound.
The Devil Wears Prada - With Roots Above and Branches Below
I managed to get hold of the two-track promo of their forthcoming album (comes out May 5th). I can guarantee I'll be giving airplay to the wonderfully titled Assistant to the Regional Manager.
The Glorious Unseen - The Cries Of The Broken
One on the few worship bands that are able to create truly original music. You could kinda describe it as emo worship. This is the EP that bridges between their amazing debut and their forthcoming follow-up.

This week I was mainly watching
Flight of the Conchords
I noticed that Series 2 of the ‘New Zealand musical two-piece based in America’ comedy is soon to hit UK screens so I decided to re-watch Series 1. It’s wonderful low-energy comedy; probably the second best comedy HBO has ever been behind.
The State of Play
An American political thriller that follows a journalist's probe into the suspicious death of a Congressman's mistress. What I didn’t realise until afterwards was that it’s a film adaptation of a 6-part BBC serial by the same name, which first aired on BBC One in 2003. The fact I now wanna watch the TV series should be testament to my enjoyment of the film.

This week I was mainly reading
Nothing out of choice really, I read about 5 pages of The Shack (I’m so bad at finishing books). It was mainly lots of contracts and things I needed to sign.

Other things of note from this week
I got a new car. Initially it seemed surprisingly simple, as the week went on it got more stressful and more taxing. Oscar the Octavia is dead long live Carol the Corsa … don’t worry I wont actually call my car that.
