Innit?

Thought I'd just show you a couple of tracks I'm listening to at the moment while I attempt (avoid) this Semiotic Analysis Essay (Zzzz). First up are The Metros - Talk About It. You know the deal with me already; English, males, obvious accents, upbeat tempo and doesn't hurt if they're a bit cute and wearing amazing Oxfords. I went to go look up some info on them and it seems they had a short lived career and after three years, ended it in 2009. Ah well, I'm sure they'll be around in other reincarnations. It won't let me embed the official vid, so here's a live one instead.

Secondly is Pint Shot Riot with Start Digging. Pretty much the same reason as to why I like it as The Metros. These guys are still going though. Yes, I know neither of these are core shaking stuff, but sometimes you just need something catchy and upbeat...and cute.

While I'm speaking about all things English, The IT Crowd has just started it's fourth season. So if you're outside of the UK and want to watch a streaming of the first episode just click here - IT Crowd : Season Four - Episode One

My new favourite show.

Everyone should know of my love (obsession) with all this English by now. All my friends seemed to be banging on about this show called 'The Inbetweeners', which they mentioned that I'd love. Proving how obvious my tastes are, they were correct and because of my incredibly bad procrastination issue (no really, I have a colour co-ordinated wardrobe and alphabetised DVD collection), it's taken over my study time for my exam. So I'll post my poor exam results in a few weeks.

The Inbetweeners focuses on four socially inept school friends in the 6th form (year 11 equivalent, I think), and their misfortunes with life...but mostly girls. It's crude, a bit obvious but mostly hilarious. I know the whole virgin group of friends is all a bit American Pie-esque but the English do know how to make a witty show. All you need to do is watch Australian sitcoms and realise how shit the quality of writing and concepts are. Actually are there any Australian sitcoms? Well replace Australian with American and the garbage they produce like 'Two and a Half Men' and 'The Big Bang Theory'.

People say the show 'Skins' is what you wish high school was like and 'The Inbetweeners' is what it really was like. Anyways, you should check it out so I have someone to go on about it with and seeing as it won't let me embed any videos, here's a link to the videos on youtube and one to a character guide.
