is the stage name by Sarah McIntosh, who hails from the village Highclere, about a hundered miles west of London. The juvenescent singer worms her melodies out of an old Yamaha keyboard and uses nervous beats that alter every two seconds. The one glorious constant, however, is a vocal that demonstrates more depth and emotion than a lot of other artists out there. Beware of The Good Natured!
If you were stranded on a deserted island you would...
take these three books along:
A book about horoscopes, I am into that crap. George’s «Marvellous Medicine», an ultimate classic.
take these three CDs/records with you:
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever To Tell
Cat Power - You Are Free
Arcade Fire - Funeral
take these three DVDs along:
«Austin Powers» by Jay Roach / «Brokeback Mountain» by Ang Lee / «Sweeney Todd» by Tim Burton or any Johnny Depp equivalent.
take these three games along:
GTA Vice City, which is pretty much the best game ever, but that would involve me having a computer, which you probably won’t allow. In terms of board games, definitley «Cluedo» and «Twister». Wait, are there other people on the island? Twister would be rubbish by yourself… I would without a doubt take a Rubic cube, and a pack of cards!
start to learn these three things:
How to knit (well) / how to complete a Rubic cube in under 30 seconds / how to fish
subscribe to these three newspapers / magazines:
Vogue / NME / The Sunday Times. I read none of these, but if I were pretty bored I would.
miss these three things the most about living in a city:
I don’t live in a city, I live in a little village. I think I would miss walks in the woods, cups of tea and baking cakes.
invite these three persons for a weekend:
My mother, father and brother, Marcus, Claire, Alice. That isn’t three, but it could be over two weekends?
get these three pets:
A talking parrot to minimise lonliness, and two cats. Cats are amazing.
take these three tools with you:
Tools? Er, maybe a hammer and a saw so I could build a really good shelter, and a ladder so I could get coconuts from trees or something cool like that.
