So, I've been having an unpleasant few couple of weeks. I haven't had internet in my apartment since the start of January, my Mac double clicks everything when I hold the mousepad button down, (which in turn makes my windows dissappear when I don't want them to, I can't highlight anything, I pause my itune tracks when I want them to play, etc) one of my screen hinges are broken as well. Also- i...
Time for me to wave my puritan flag again ;)Swords Of Truth is the band's new single (released on May 5th)...how to describe it? The best I can do is say that after the song is over, what you expect to hear is an explosion that will blow your ears off, and yet you have no intention of backing away.I wonder what those old puritans would have to say about all this...

Yet Southend’s These New Puritans can hardly be accused of being any of these things, as they throw together the repetitive and experimental edge of dance music with the fury of almost bestial post-punk, producing a fractured
Nestled between the hip-hop hairdressers and amusement arcades of Oldham Street lies a small, slightly lost, section of the Lower East Side. So cool it was even mentioned on _Lost_ the venue is trapped in a timewarp of boho-chic. The doorman could be Eugene Hutz's bodydouble, the paintjob could be from a 1920's Parisian whorehouse and the furniture looks like it was salvaged from countless skip...
Between Vampire Weekend's "M79" and These New Puritans' "Elvis," I actually want to jump up and shake ass here at the office - and I haven't even had my first cup of coffee yet!I like the tune by These New Puritans so much that I'll put it on this here post. TNP is one of those bands that does the 'dance music via rock band' thing. I don't usually go for that, but damn, "Elvis" is awesome.Hoor...
