Really like this, I'll have to get my hands on the album!

Marina & The Diamonds - 'Electra Heart'
I'm disappointed in this, didn't expect her to "sell out" like this. Also, I find it very hard believe that this is a parody song or whatever, since that would be a frankly bizarre route to go down as a lead single for an album when you're trying to launch yourself as a serious artist? Hopefully the rest of the album is much better :( But still, at least she's still hot!

Florence + The Machine // 'Ceremonials' October 31
Great song. She looks like a ginger Noel Fielding in the video though.

James Blake & Bon Iver - Fall Creek Boys Choir
This is quite simply amazing. Some of the lyrics are a bit.... indecipherable though. Still, love love love, hopefully a duet album is in the works. 5aqKA_2UUy4

Kanye/Jay-Z 'Watch the Throne'
Late to comment, but obviously this is incredible. I actually think HAM is one of the stronger tracks on the album, and it's good to hear Jay-Z make a step up from Blueprint III.

Sunday Chart Predictions
I find Kanye / Jay-Z's release strategy for this album simply bizarre, they could easily have been #1 had they released the physical and download the same week. Adele still #1 is something I don't get, how is it 30k+ worth of people each week are only NOW getting round to buying it? It's not even a particularly good album.

Betting?
I have a £1 accumulator on Bolton, Wolves and Burnley wins, with draws in Villa/Fulham, Millwall/Forest, Derby/Watford and Ipswich/Hull. At the minute I'm 4 goals away from £3.5k winnings. It'll never happen though, Forest ALWAYS let me down when I bet on them and Burnley are playing shit.

Premier League predictions 2011/2012
Player for player though, I think Swansea are better than Blackpool (Charlie Adam aside). In Sinclair, Dyer, Graham they have a more than decent forward line for the bottom half of the Premiership, and if Trezeguet does join that would provide excellent experience for the squad. Wolves are now too good to go down, although I predicted them 15th, I think they'll be comfortable the entire season. Stoke seem to have been quietly building a very strong team too over the summer, and if they do get Nick Bendtner or Crouch (or both) then they could definitely surprise a few people, hopefully starting Sunday!

Premier League predictions 2011/2012
01. Man United 02. Man City 03. Chelsea 04. Arsenal 05. Liverpool 06. Tottenham 07. Everton 08. Sunderland 09. Stoke 10. Fulham 11. Bolton 12. West Brom 13. Newcastle 14. Aston Villa 15. Wolves 16. Wigan 17. Swansea 18. QPR 19. Blackburn 20. Norwich I think the Swans might surprise a few people this season Blackpool-style, but I think they have a bit more about themselves and stand a better chance of staying up. Arsenal, despite losing Fabs and Nasri should still have *just* enough to finish ahead of Liverpool, though a new striker and prolonged fitness for RVP are really important. With a bit of luck and a good run they can still challenge for the top, but its a long shot at the minute. Top 3 Scorers: RVP, Bent, Rooney First Sacking: Kean Top 6 Broken: No.

Bon Iver 'Bon Iver' | June '11
I held back from getting it until I bought it today... and my oh my it's stunning. Could well be contender for album of the year if it continues to grow.

Premier League / Football League Thread 2011-12
It was a shocking performance today, we really really were awful. Arsene seriously needs to sort out our defending from set pieces, its abysmal. Chelsea didn't turn up today either, gifting the title to Fergie. Park was the best player on the pitch by a mile too, so well done him.

Premier League / Football League Thread 2011-12
I do agree about the Carling Cup having a psychological blow on the team, but I'm surprised by how bad its actually been for them. As for leaders, Vermaelen would step up to that role nicely, plus maybe a signing of maybe one more experienced player. The RVPs and Sagnas of the team also would make good leaders. BUT I can't agree with the quote there. 18 goals in 20 appearances this season? I think he's a pretty good striker...

Premier League / Football League Thread 2011-12
It annoys me when people constantly say "Arsenal are going to bottle it / lack leadership / poor defence" etc. Yes, in the last month or so we have thrown it away massively, but the fact we were fighting on four fronts until then was still impressive, especially given that we've played with our 3rd and 4th choice centre backs for most of the season. Szcz will be the answer to the goalkeeping problem, but I think our main problem is actually up front. RVP, Chamakh and Bendtner are all great players, but the system Wenger plays only really has room for one of them. Bendtner has been coming on and playing right wing recently and playing in crosses, when he should be the one on the end of them. We do need to clear out some of the dead wood in the squad (Rosicky, Denilson, Diaby etc) and hope that the likes of Ramsey and Wilshere continue to develop. Expect Arsenal to be much stronger next year, and with a bit more luck we might not drop points as ridiculously as this year. As for QPR, I was really hoping they would get docked points, Norwich and Swansea would get automatic promotion and then Forest win the play-offs. Pity the FA didn't have the bottle to actually do something about it, and I do suspect if they were mid-table they would have been deducted :(

Football Discussion [old]
I think it's a straight fight between Bale and Nasri for POTY, with VDV probably 3rd. Obviously I'd like to see Nasri / Wilshere win, but it would be nice for Parker to get recognition for the amazing season he's had.
