What about this Nokia commercial?

I now have the strangest urge to watch that advert on VCR.

The auxiliary Wild Beast is Katie Harkin, usually frontwoman of Sky Larkin – she’s joined them live for their recent UK tour and AFAIK for the near future.

Hate to break into the grieving process, but that’s not/the wrong Black Box Recorder.

More interestingly Cole’s more recent single 3 Words (produced by and featuring the omnipotent Will.i.am) is, according to his contribution to Uncut magazine’s round-up, Robert Wyatt’s favourite song of the year.

Um, not only is this far from the first time Debbie’s told this story, but it’s been up on Snopes for three and a half years: http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/debharry.asp

The Streets album is called Computers And Blues – there’s already a track by track preview on nme.com giving a 7th February UK date.

Low are recording an album Alan says will be called C’mon (http://www.thevine.com.au/music/interviews/low-_-interview20101013.aspx). Wild Beasts claimed at the end of October that they were about to go into the studio.
