Best new act of the year - fact - Rod Thomas

Hey Goths - I'm gonna surprise you all....

I know it's not coool to brag about someone else on your own blog, but hey. Last night, I was feeling low. I mean real ***king low. I'd had a major bust up (again) with the UNI, they're so dead set on expelling me....so anyway - I'd drunk a quarter bottle Smirnoff and I was dozing on my bed....radio on low....

OMG - was I dreaming this or what. I heard the best Radio session ever - there was guy on called Rod Thomas - doing what I can only describe as one man band, New Folk Disco ....not exactly conventional, but the guy had the most heartfelt wonderous songs, I've ever heard. Went straight to his myspace site. www.myspace.com/rodthomasmusic he's awesome, Welsh too, from Neath? And just back from LA working with Boom Bip (Neon Neon).

Dunnoh, his music just made me wanna cry and laugh at the same time. Just do yourself a favour and listen to his tracks. He's got a new album out, Until Something Fits. It's awesome.

My own life is ***t, but it's kinda Nice to know others are gonna be huge and successful - even if i don't ever make it. You know the URL. www.myspace.com/defianceofgod

Enjoy the find of hte year, Rod thomas.

Blue Monday

Welcome aboard goths/loners/emos/punks and all

It's a good ship that knows the safe harbours, and a wise captain who knows when to run for home. I'm running and I'm running scared.

Life has become a little too unpleaseant. Not getting on at home, band fragmenting, stalker in the States - Claire and stalker here - Craig. What am I doing wrong? Am I just a magnet for weird sh** and ***ked up loons? Or as they say is there somehting else? Is it me? Am I the cause of this complete and utter weirdness? Dunnoh. Just being alive makes me paranoid? So what does that say about me? Maybe somehting happ3ened in the past, somehting bad just happened and I got caught up in it? Something sinister, someting nasty....maybe my imagination is running away with me? Dunnoh. All I know is my nan is ill and that's making me worried. She's been my surrogate parents since the divorce and hey, without Hilda nothing would be the way it is, She bought me my first guitar! I mean how cool is that! So yeah, I keep hearing on teh raido that today is Blue Monday - the most miserable day of the year. Andy you know what. I kinda agree. Yeah. I really do.

Lots of offers to collaborate through on www.myspace.com/defianceofgod so we'll see. I also had a note from Patrick Jones about collaborations on his new CD. I'm hearing some weird rumours about big stars. Honest. Being on the same record. Billy Bragg. Martyn Joseph. Amy Wadge. Henry Priestman and me - yeah, Defiance of God.

Let's just hope blue monday becomes sunny tuesday. Eh.

Slap My Face - Lyrics - Copyright D x (Defiance Of God)

You don't wanna talk - you just wanna kiss

no time 4 luv in the city, 4 a girl 2 miss

undress me in your mind - you stoopid fucker
your gonna have 2 pay if you wanna fuck - her

I'm not the one - you're gonna regret

I'm the one - you're gonna want next

Kicked in doors and smashed up cars

knives, hoodies, ugly scars

txt me l8r - film my mate

slap my face - u mess with fate

don't cum too close - u sick - I might just bite

I'm yr worst bad dream - straight outta the night

u waste my precious time, and steal me clothes

I'm not yr easy lay - going comatose

I'm not the one youre gonna regret

I'm the one you're gonna want next

Kicked in doors, smashed up cars

knives hoodies, ugly scars

txt me l8r - you can film my mate

slap my face - u mess with fate

Fed up - with all your stupid pointless stares

nothing u can say or do - gonna make we wear flares

undress me i your mind you shallow sucker

your gonna waste yr time if you wanna fuck-her

I'm not the one you're gonna regret

I'm the one - you're gonna want next

Kicked in door, burnt out cars

knives, hoodies, ugly scars

txt me l8r - film my mate

slap my face - you mess with FATE!

Share and enjoy
