scrubs for series 8?

aparently ABC want to buy the rights to a series 8 of scrubs. previously it had been expected to end after series 7. i dont know what to think of this, the quality of s7 would have to notably improve to make it worthwhile... and im sure zach braff wants to quit anyway-scrubs without JD isnt scrubs anymore.

Juno

This film is amazing, i thought it might have been overrated, but it wasnt. It is absolutely brilliant, very funny, and with a great supporting cast alongside Ellen Page (worthy of her oscar nomination) and Michael Cera (legend). I love films with small, subtle subplots/ themes, Donnie Darko is the main one i can think of. Obviously, these two films are incomparable, but the stories of Mark and Vanessa (potential adoptive parents) and juno's Dad and stepmum were very well done. It kindof reminded me of Garden State (also an amazing film). The soundtrack was also pretty good, with some quality tunes on. Here are my 2 favourites, Sea of Love was played at the end, just after she gives birth, and Anyone Else But You is the song Juno and Paulie play at the end.
Cat Power-Sea Of Love
The Moldy Peaches-Anyone Else But You

Beginning of the twist-The futureheads

Ive had this for ages now, but seeing as I posted the Kooks new song, i thought i had to post this. After the shambles of their second album, the Futureheads have returned, and returned to the form of some of their first album classics (i.e. meantime, decent days..., hounds of love).
Here is the video, its really good, didnt McFly have a video like this? lol

The Kooks-Always Where I Need To Be



I thought this blog has been too much hip-hop and not enough generic indie and the Kooks have a new song so i thought i'd post it here. When i first heard it on Zane Lowe i got really excited, possibly because he talked about how good it was for about 5 minutes, but listening again im not so sure. See for yourself..and have a listen to a classic Kooks song, 2006 seems so long ago...
New single
See the world

release date and tracklisting for narrow stairs

just a day after i post about it as a "definate track" and casino blues isnt on it. but bring on may the 13th!!!

from pitchfork
"You need dexterity to navigate Narrow Stairs, but all you'll get here is a tracklist and a release date to help you through Death Cab for Cutie's previously reported sixth full-length studio offering.Stairs follows up 2005's Plans and descends May 13 on Atlantic, according to a Billboard.com report. This thing packs in 11 tracks, boasting typically heavy-handed titles like "I Will Possess Your Heart", "You Can Do Better Than Me (But I Can't Do Better Than You)", and the truly devastating "Your New Twin Size Bed". Death Cab, you slay me.UPDATE: Apparently, the tracklist reported on Billboard.com and printed below is not yet finalized.
Also, the first single is slated to be "I Will Possess Your Heart".Opening track "Bixby Canyon Bridge" apparently clocks in at nine minutes, so you may want to save that one for the end of your mixtapes. A Narrow Stairs tour, meanwhile, is inevitable but not yet announced. For now, we'll have to settle for appearances at Coachella and Bonnaroo.In other news from camp Death (ooh, spooky!), Chris Walla's Field Manual is on shelves now, and a digital version of Ben Gibbard's Kurt Cobain: About a Son score with Steve Fisk will be arriving shortly (with a vinyl version to follow, er, longly). Narrow Stairs:
01 Bixby Canyon Bridge
02 I Will Possess Your Heart
03 No Sunlight
04 Cath
05 Talking Bird
06 You Can Do Better Than Me (But I Can't Do Better Than You)
07 Grapevine Fires
08 Your New Twin Size Bed
09 The Remainder
10 Pity and Fear
11 The Ice Is Getting Thinner

Cute Cab...of DEATH!!!:"

i am so excited, less than 3 months!!!

narrow stairs!!!

as promised ive ripped some of bens acoustic videos from his solo tour last year, and uploaded the mp3s in anticipation of death cabs 6th album.
casino blues is definately going to be on the album, it is the weakest of the 3 i have, but its a grower, and is a nice change in direction from plans.
cath is quite typical of bens songwriting, i.e. amazing
the ice is getting thinner is the best of the 3 i think, although the chords sound very similar to "different names for the same thing".
"i will possess your heart" is aparently also on the album , and is an epic song in the mould of stability, transatlantiscm, line of best fit etc, but unsurprisingly ben didnt play it on his solo tour, so there is no "demo" as such.

casino blues
cath
the ice is getting thinner
