Win a Pixies Screen Print!

Hey Everyone,

So, I was recently given a screen print of 
The Pixies' Doolittle album and thought that I 
would make a competition out of it! 
I have created the competition through 'Rafflecopter'
so there's no spam or dodgy stuff (:

Here is a picture of the poster:


The background is an olive-blue colour and
has been printed with matte gold paint.
A brilliant poster that will look good in any office or
home - if you don't like it your parents might? 

About Doolittle
Doolittle was The Pixies' second album and was released in
1989 on 4AD. It went on to chart at #8 in the UK album 
charts and received brilliant reviews from 
critics and magazines. 'Debaser', 'Here Comes Your
Man' and 'Mokey Gone to Heaven' were all released as singles-
 it was The Pixies' first album that had a major impact 
on the charts and the music industry. 

The competition will start at 6pm tomorrow so if you'd 
like to enter follow this link to my facebook page 
where you can enter:

Good Luck,

If I Could Pick Any Song......

It would be......

Stay High (Habits Remix)
By 
Tove Lo ft. Hippie Sabotage


Bio: Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson, aka Tove Lo,
is a Swedish pop singer-songwriter as well as musician.
At 26, she has released her first EP 'Truth Serum'
and has written songs for many artists including
Icona Pop. The Stay High habits remix charted at
number 6 in the UK. 

I was recommended this song by a friend and at
first I wasn't sure about it. But after hearing it for 
the second time, I ironically became addicted.

It starts with an intriguingly repetitive
'Oh-oh' and after 15 seconds launches into an intense
beat. The lyrics are remixed to repeat and bounce around
the inside of your head - truly amazing stuff!
Tove Lo sings with desperation at needing
'something to numb the pain'. 
You can feel the hurt.

There's also the original version which is just as good but
has a slower tempo and smaller beat although the lyrics are 
just as smart and quirky (I eat my dinner in my bathtub/
then I go to sex clubs)



Crazy, I know!
Have a good evening,
