So here's The XX's contribution to The Great Gatsby soundtrack (released in May apparently). Again, I can already visualise the scene it's intended for. It's nice to see that The XX are being used for film soundtracks, I've always thought that pretty much their entire debut album could be used in cinema, their style fits it perfectly in my opinion. Remy's vocal in particular is gorgeous in this track, and as much as hearing the soundtrack prior to seeing the film might, in some opinions, ruin the impact of the film when eventually viewed, hearing these luscious little snippets is really getting me excited to see and hear the finished result.
This mess started out as a guide to bagging an adequate male for yerself once ye'r past it. However, it's evolved rapidly into a collective, collaborative space for ideas to grow, recommendations to be made, stories to be told and fun to be had.

It's been a long time since someone looked at me that way

One Love
Just watched the first half of this. Such a treat. The rest is saved for tomorrow's Valentines night when I'm all on my lonesome.

Entirely mesmerizing cast, entirely captivating story.
Go on, watch it.

Drivin'
So the Independent News Paper reviewed Drive pretty well. Read away.
And, if you haven't already viewed the beauty, go see it, and fall in love. Agh.
