lost lost lost

2 days!! sorry for the lack of posts i had a hold "new for 2008" thing planned out but my computer bust so i cant download/upload anything. if its fixed by the weekend ill do posts on laura marling, cajun dance party, friendly fires, MGMT and last but definately not least Vampire Weekend, as well as previewing some of the more established acts albums out this year (Coldplaym the streets, death cab etc...)

Anyway, LOST season 4 starts tomorrow night in the USA (available for dload friday morning in the uK) and i am very excited. i will be so gutted if my computer isnt fixed by friday!!! its on on sunday on sky...

Over the "hiatus" since about september, 13 "mobisodes" have been released filling in some of the gaps. a lot of them have been shit just there to involve random characters (i,e. facilitating micheals comeback, showing Juliet has always been an important "other", jack talking to christian(?), frogurt, arzt etc). The highlights of the first 12 were jack meeting ethan (legendary actor) and juliet and ben discussing walt while he was captive (we still dont know what the others did to him/ what happened-hoping for a ben flashback for that). But the real surprise/excitement came in mobisode 13.

watch all of them here:
