Time's a telling

I have two weeks to find a flat. Two fucking weeks!!! HELP!!
Have been going aroudn looking at potential holes, I mean, flats and rooms etc and let's just say...no way!
So I chatted to P last night before dashingout to meet Dan for a drink/dinner. He said he really wants to move out too and would rather share a flat with me.
So, yeah, he drives me to drink most times, but we hardly see eachother with the insane hours I keep, so we're getting along way better.
So now the search is on. Two bedroom flat in Greater London for about £200 pw. And those from SA reading this, don't convert. DON'T CONVERT!!! The average price for a flat in the nice parts of London go for about £500 pw. i kid thee not. There was a flat that went for £15 000 per week! Well, it was in Cavendish Square.
I'm not asking for a lot. Close-ish to tube, gang related killings to a minimum. Come on! I'm from the East Rand! I can handle anything.

Moving on...
Sick Puppies.
No, not my nickname, but the name of a new amazing Australian band.And how can you argue with a name like that!!! They also feature a female bassist...not completely original in terms of line up, but glad to see more girls in the industry.
Thier first album 'Headphone Injuries' (2006) while only having 5 songs on it, gives you a taste of a band with huge potential. Falling into the post hardcore without the screamo scene, they deliver strong songs, steady riffs and all round great tunes. Check them out!!!
Thier second album 'Dressed up as Life' is releasing 3rd April.

Speaking of more women in the scene...why are there not more women fronted rock bands?? Gwen Stefani was the perfect example of a fantastic frontwoman for a punk band. She totally sold out by heading into the bling/hip hop world!! And let's not forget the awesome Shirley Manson from Garbage. What a role model! And Amy Lee from Evanescence? Let's forget about the dismal 'Open Door' album and take note of the strong character it takes to front a "metal" band.
We have a few newbies these days - American youngsters Paramore with 17 year old Hayley Williams, Lacuna Coil fronted by Cristina Scabbia, and erm...that's about it for now.
Honestly girls! We need more chick rockers a la The Veronicas, Hole, Sioxsie and the Bandshees. What's going on out there??
Far too many potential stars are falling into the grimy pop world instead of shaking things up in rock.
And when we do get bands like that, why aren't labels signing them? Remember tha last wave of girl power? I think we're due for another one.
And no, I won't start my own band, but I'll sure as hell make one famous!!
