I’m listening to The Gossip right now, and this week have purchased albums by The View and The Good, The Bad and The Queen if any of those float your boat? I’m also very much liking The Long Blondes, Hot Chip and Jarvis Cocker’s solo album at the mo.

I think I’ve tried the Decemberists before, will see if I’ve still got their album at home.

Arcade Fire are ace, can’t wait for the gig!!

Re. music – Arcade Fire is getting a fair bit of play at the moment here: Highly recommended.

For something new for you to consider, try The Decemberists (In fact they’re playing at the ABC on Sunday: Have tickets too! Yay!). Latest album (The Crane Wife) is very good indeed, although Picaresque (esp. The Mariner’s Revenge Song) is a close second. Hard to put your finger on their style, but their sheer uniqueness and novel lyrics makes them a firm favourite on my play lists these days.

As for hosting etc., check out DreamHost – I don’t know a great deal about them, but with prices like that, I’m certainly seriously considering giving them a go…

Funny enough, I’m considering the entire hosting move thing too – although only for d4d™ and a couple of others at the moment, rather than for everything.

For the small sites I handle, 34sp’s fine – but when d4d™ (or whatever) takes up a major percentage of the available space/bandwidth/databases, one has to start thinking about moving.

Again.
