I'ma write something. Eventually.

This is a dual-purpose posting.

First of all, I would like to share something that literaryll found for me a little while ago that made me shriek like a little girl. Kanye West and Jamie Foxx performing Gold Digger & Touch the Sky at the Grammy Awards. Complete with bands, step shows, and fly 70s gear.

Now, Kanye can speak for himself, so what I want to publicly do is thank literaryll for all her time and energy, and the way that she is just so giving and and thoughtful, and in general, just a really fabulous person. This is why I have dubbed her The Miracle Worker. I don't come across people like this very often, which makes it all the greater when I do find them, so you know, thank you.

Secondly, I was multi-losing my rag today, not really paying attention to anything, when this voice started calling to me from my computer. Apparently, Gary from Snow Patrol and Guy from Elbow have had a baby, and they've named him Harry. Harry has a band called Kubb, which, apparently, is setting things on fire at the HMVs in the UK. So, here they are, My Musical Find of the Year, or at least so far this year -- Kubb 'Wicked Soul' & Kubb 'Grow'

Thirdly, (okay, so I can't count) can anybody figure out how to convert that Kanye/Jamie file so that my iPod will accept it, because right now, it's giving me the two-finger salute when I try to upload it from iTunes.

Oops. OOPS?! *narrows eyes*

If it were anybody else, they would be in a lot of trouble. Just so you know that. How did I not *know*? *sulks* literaryll has sent me most of Mother, what I really want now is them live. Did you hear them live this evening?

*sits in corner in shame*

As long as you've got Chemical. You have to have Chemical. *nods* If you haven't, or there are any other tracks you're missing, give the word, and I shall make up for my sins.

They were performing live? In the UK? The night before I have a day off so I could have gone?! *curses*

No, no no, not a proper gig, Harry just did a couple acoustic songs on Martin's Drivetime, which is when I had my whole 'OMGWTF' moment.

But they *are* actually performing a few gigs in March. (http://www.seetickets.com/sjmmaj/index.asp?link=kubb&site=kubb%20<http://www.seetickets.com/sjmmaj/index.asp?link=kubb&site=kubb) *hint hint*

Thanks for the link! They're actually doing a whole load of gigs in April as well, and they're cheap, so if I can find one on a night I can finish early...
