Elijah on Jo Whiley at Radio 1 today -- fantastic! :-)

Elijah was great today on Jo Whiley. I took notes and he said some things that, for me, were really good to hear and had me almost jumping up & down in my chair with happiness! There was one particular thing he came out with that really had me squeeing for a particular reason. :-) I won't repeat any of it here because that might be too spoilerish for some. But really, the interview is definitely worth listening to if you can, and even more especially if you're a LOTR fan!

At the moment I'm listening to "New Magnetic Wonder" which I just got today.

Oh, so you already have the album! Cool! That's quite a lot of tracks, isn't it -- 24? I've only heard "Energy", and I thought there was a slight ELO sound to it, but then I heard Elijah mention ELO in the past & I think it's maybe deliberate.

Glad you like them, anyhow! I watched H&TSF again, and I do think the lead singer (Heloise I guess) is quite attractive -- and at least she has normal-sized thighs! ;-D

Until I got their CD, the only AIS song I'd heard was "Energy" in the video Elijah directed. I was not impressed. The band seemed boring and so did the song. But there is much more on the CD that's better than "Energy." And they have so many different "sounds" from one song to the next. The 24 tracks may seem like a lot on paper, but I discovered that many of them are short bridges from one track to the next.

I could be wrong, but "Energy" on the CD sounds much better. It's a different "take" -- longer, for starters, and a little bit different arrangement. I'd need to listen to the video and CD back-to-back to be sure though.

I have only heard snatches of H&TSF, so I suppose I shouldn't be so quick to pass judgement on them. The first photo I saw of Heloise was sitting with Elijah at the Olympus Fashion Week last year in NYC. I remember thinking she looked "normal" size. LOL
