We’ll spend another weekend in London, so instead of rushing to Radley station and spending a couple of hours in packed FGW-trains, I am… well, right now I’m doing not very much actually, apart from sitting at my breadcrumb-covered-desk killing time until the bus will take this boy back to his tiny Wootton-room.

So I may as well point you to a couple of really good songs out there on that interweb-thingie.

The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Dreaming is a Television Personalities song from 1999 that Chris posted almost two months ago. The song isn’t very obscure, but new to me nevertheless and shows once more what a genius Dan Treacy is. Well, as the wise words at Fire Escape Talking show, only when it comes to songwriting.

Said blog then posted When The Boy’s Happy (The Girl’s Happy Too) by the Four Pennies, which is another proof of the fact that all those drug-taking hippies did in the 1960s was taking away the attention from several much better bands.

Cardiff’s The School combine sweet girlpop (if there’s such a thing) with the melancholy of Camera Obscura and might be my favourite new band of the moment. Those two songs on last.fm as my favourites, but MySpace has a couple more.

Constance Verluca’s C’est Faux might be the best fille sourire I heard recently.

And finally, fellow West-Countrian-working-from-home Simon wrote a song about his (almost) former flatmate under his moniker La Famille Catastrophe.
