Edit: Woo! I’ve finally overcome the Irritating Dot problem. I worked around it, using the fantastic god-sent plugin Ultimate Tag Warrior! Boo-yeah. It rocks. Although it looks a little bit odd now, because I don’t have that many blog entries. But, as time goes on, my tag cloud shall become prettier! Muhaha.

As you can see, I finally made a theme :D! Well… Not really made, since I wouldn’t consider it finished yet. There are a few things that need fixing. The header image featuring photographs by Jeurgen Teller, my favourite fashion photographer who rocks so hard it isn’t even funny? Cool. The little grey wings made entirely by me? Cool also. That irritating dot underneath the navigation links?… Not so cool. Maybe if I just ignore it…

I kid, I kid.



I am trying so very hard to fix it right now. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the CSS, which is out of whack in Internet Explorer (Also known as as The Most Irritating Browser Ever Invented). If I get rid of the categories altogether in the sidebar then everything is pretty and neato! … But then there are no categories. And I neeeed those categories there.

Away from web design, I found The Magic Position, Patrick Wolfs latest album :o! I almost fainted when I saw it sitting on the shelf in all it’s shiny and wolfish (I couldn’t resist the pun! Haha) glory. Took it home, and it’s been on repeat ever since. I love him. I do, I do, I do.

Standing at 6 feet 4″ tall with a shock of bright red hair, 23 year old Patrick Wolf is something of a statement even before he opens his mouth. His two albums to date- 2003’s Lycanthropy and 2005’s Wind in the Wires- have showed him to be more than a pretty face, however, with songs that strike an attractive balance between the imaginative and the indulgent. His third album, The Magic Position, is undoubtedly Wolf’s ‘pop’ moment. The rollicking romp of “Get Lost,” the upbeat “Accident and Emergency,” and the celebratory title track all underline new levels of accessibility and- dare we say it- optimism. There are hints of the old Wolf too of course, especially in the eclectic choice of instrumentation and the off-kilter song arrangements; for every pop-perfect track there’s a slice of raw darkness (”Bluebell”) casual introspection (”Augustine”) or sidereal rock-tronica (”The Stars”). Less a dramatic reinvention than a sideways turn into the world of adult emotions and mainstream accessibility, The Magic Position is nonetheless Patrick Wolf’s most accomplished work to date.

It’s so different from Wind In The Wires! It fills me with glee! Not that WITW depressed me, but it’s just so different! Yet very Patrick-y.

But, a negative: Because this album is released with a major record label, some other fans who were fans since he first started out are getting annoyed because they have to ’share’ him with fans who are mostly into mainstream music. I believe I rave!rant!rave!ed about this before, but really. He’s becoming more famous! Is that such a bad thing? Someone even said that his latest album was too mainstream for them. Eurgh. I don’t want to get mad about it again, because it really should be instilled in peoples brains by now that liking popular music isn’t a bad thing, and people who do like it aren’t brainless zombies.

Well, I was going to write more, but I have to go :). Byeeee. (Also, if anyone can point me in the right direction for help with that annoying grey dot in my sidebar when I put in the category list, help would be mucho apreciado! It is Killing me that I can’t do anything about it.)
