DELPHIC



Discovered. Loved. Chuffed. Must share.
Their music sneaked onto my itunes via a free Radar mixtape I downloaded from the NME website. (I know I know, if the Daily Mail made a music magazine) I loved the laid back, effortless upbeat music mixed with the poignant lyrics in Couterpoint. Quite heart-rendering. While at the same time being as far away from any emo or Snow Patrol-ish as you can get. If Friendly Fires were a beach party, then Delphic would be a moonlight walk with your toes in the sand. A bit more mature, but equally awesome and more likely to be remembered.

Doubt is the first official single release from the debut album Acolyte. Radio One have been obsessively playing Doubt in their usual desperate attempt to be diverse and all-encompassing. Its is another brilliant song though. I can't wait to get my hands on this album. These guys are really imaginative, innovative and expressive. 2010 is going to a massive year for them.

The photos on the website are also pretty impressive, take a peak. http://delphic.cc/photos/

Definitely the geekiest post so far!!

The niftiest little guy in a bookworm's life.
Seriously though I am well chuffed with this bad boy, holds your book open a treat.
Copying quotes out has become one of the easier parts of the essay writing adventure.
I do believe the little muscly pink dude would help me more if he wasn't so well, plastic and tiny.
Every student should have someone buy them one of these.
I mean they did win the Gift of the Year award last year. 
Not DJ Hero for the XBOX elite, not an Experience Day with Ferrari, but the little book holder.
They get my vote for 2010.

Baby Lucas.

My heart nearly burst looking at the photos of my cousin's new baby!
The future is bright!

"You and you're cousins and me and my cousins!"

I love the stories that you're parents have told you about a million times, they must realise. Just laugh and say "oh really? What a funny story!"

Proper blogging will commence after the beastly essay and exam are romeo done. Reviews of some of the four lushes albums I got for crimbo, and the new Vampire Weekend album I will inevitably not be able to resist buying tomozzzzzoooo!!!!! EXCITING. I'm already addicted to 'Cousins'. As you probably already realised. X
