Fun fun fun

How strange. I have been reluctantly listening to two folky singles from the UK that I really did not want to like. 5 years time by noah and the whale...and ghosts by laura marling. No matter how hard I try I can't stop listening to them no matter how much I hate the whistling in noah and the whale or the title of marling's new album (alas i cannot swim).

Then, whilst watching the indie-ed out video for 5 years time I spotted a white-haired laura quite similar to a white-haired laura in laura marling's videos. Fancy that. They are the same person! I am possibly the only person in the UK that does not know this.

But that reminds me how much I love it when musicians are friends.
My top 5 musical friendships are as follows
1. The Used and My Chemical Romance
In fact, the name My Chemical Romance is taken from a Used song
2. Fall Out Boy and Gym Class Heroes
Gym Class Heroes are on Patrick Stump's record label
3. Florence and the Machine and Mystery Jets
4. Tori Amos and Nine Inch Nails
Well this actually counts as a musical relationship, as Tori was famously with Trent Reznor. When Courtney Love allegedly wrecked their relationship, Tori wrote the song Professional Widow in her honour.
5. The Strokes and Regina Spektor
What an unlikely friendship but coincidentally two of my most favourite acts of all time. Strange.
