Snow Patrol - Final Straw

I started to talk about this CD several months ago after reading about an upcoming concerts (which I didnt attend). Ever since then I have thought about buying it, but never did. Recently, I started listening to Virgin Radio UK and their current UK single 'Chocolate' has been in heavy rotation. So.... I did the deed and picked it up. On the first few listens, I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying it. Poppy, with a clever use of strings, percussion and layered vocals, this CD is smooth and a pleasure to listen to. Rated 4 stars (review included in body) and I would agree. Great CD from this Scottish band and definately worth a listen.

Sunrise Video Released

The new Duran Duran video for Sunrise, is slowly making its way to the airways. Sunrise was filmed by the indie-movie Polish brothers in California, London, Ibiza and Portugal using a variety of formats (digital, traditional, etc), a few video still are shown here. Still waiting for a NA release date. Note Nick performing on his Apple Powerbook (it looks like an ibook in the vid, but i have always known him to be a Powerbook user, so it must be the light).

In other Sunrise news, the single has proven so popular at US radio that Epic records have decided to release it as a CD single at the end of Sept. No single was originally planned for the US.
