War Child Heroes etc

Charity albums aren't always that good (I liked War Child's previous Help A Day In The Life albums where they try and put the album together in a day with varying degrees of success) but this one is quite cool and I like the concept in which Musical Legends choose a more contemporary act to cover one of their tracks. 

Highlights for me are Lily Allen covering The Clash, Yeah Yeah Yeahs covering The Ramones and Franz Ferdinand covering Blondie and Hot Chips cover of Joy Division's Transmission complete with steel drums. For these alone it's worth getting and the cause is very worthy too. So go out and get yourself a copy.

I haven't bought many albums recently so am a bit behind the times when it comes to music. I did manage to get Empire of the Sun's and The Prodigy albums the earlier being my preference of the two.  I have also been enjoying lately Ladyhawke, Lady GaGa, Emmy The Great, Friendly Fires, Cut Copy, and White Lies. The best of which for me at least is Emmy's album First Love which came with a free live CD from 12 Bar. It's beautiful, honest and heartbreaking. I love it

My friend came round today because I think he was worried about me after reading some of my more questionable blogs but it was all good I think I reassured him and he invited me down to broadstairs and I might actually go this time.

I've a birthday to go to tomorrow night and I don't know if I can get through it without drinking. I don't know why but I have a really bad feeling of anxiety about it which is getting me down. I'm sure I'll be OK but it's still a worry right now. I've got to find something to wear too, normally I'm not bothered but this time I am for some reason. I expect It'll be all a worry over nothing but hey ho what can you do.
