Jennifer Connelly is where it's at.

Samson by Regina Spektor, went to her gig at the Lowry last night, it was brilliant. She has a truly amazing voice.

Anyway, back to the original topic - Razorlight are basically an indie-by-numbers band who are distinctly average at best, but the fact that Johnny Borrell is seemingly such a heart-throb mean that there are myriads of indie chicks gagging to buy the record (and to sleep with him).

Canada too, there's some good bands - Broken Social Scene, Neutral Milk Hotel, Arcade Fire just to name 3. Rush for classic prog rock.
