Bang Bang Bang on the wall...From dusk til dawn

Am I the only one who's insane?

Hey, you're playing with my delerium

Stop! Playing with my delerium

Cos I'm out of my head and out my self control

Ladyhawke you sexy blonde.....I've once thought that this girl was everything I loved about indie pop music. Cool, very cool in fact - she pulls off dirty blonde hair, glitter, and a retro look only I can aspire to! Oh and guess what - she plays guitar........... Let me be you? She's so serious in her videos that you either don't take her seriously or your mind gets locked into watching her, every next move or next look is as warped as the last. Her videos don't make much sense, which I like - they're almost only for the likes that are fans of Mighty Boosh and understand the weirdness of indie electro - trashed young kids then I guess.

Well this strange young thing isn't so strange, her natural laid back look makes her more British than she is. This New Zealand girl has been known to tour with Soulwax, The Tings and Kylie......but stands well on her own in UK festivals. I love the lyrics

 ** Magic **

I've made a start with you but you're over the Atlantic baby.

One journey for you but its worth, one life here with me and its magic

I think shes a tamer Crystal Castles, I've referred to Crystal Castles quite a few times, as if I like them - but I really don't, I can understand some odd music but those guys are just weird........lets not pretend that a darth vader (incorrect spelling yeh?) sound is in any way cool just because the girls wearing an hood and lots of black makeup......

Back to LadyHawke, the lyrics at the start of this post are literally how I felt for a solid month around November last year - sleepless nights and acting totally out of character - Nooooo it wasn't because of a boy. I think everyone just goes through that phase of feeling very weird about everything and wanting to change everything in your life. In that month I nearly quit uni and moved down to London early to be a waitress for gods sake, heads screwed back on now though - finish my degree and I can do WHAT.EVER.I.WANT. Yey.

The song Back of the Van makes me feel like I'm back in the 80's - big hair and shiny clothes (I wish everyone still dress like that now!) Its a very decent song aswell, one I can dance around my room to and know all the words too...again, if anyone wants to scout me for my shower singing abilities and shit dance moves I'll be more than happy to oblige!

So, heres a few of my favourites from LadyHawke - the ultra indie artist I'll never stop getting bored of.

MAGIC, MY DELERIUM, CRAZY WORLD, PARIS IS BURNING, DUSK TIL DAWN
