“When you picture a victim of forced marriage, whom do you see? Probably an uneducated, young Asian girl, from a deeply traditional and authoritarian family. But research published last week suggests there could be 8,000 forced marriage cases in England each year, affecting African, European and Middle Eastern communities as well. Victims in 14 per cent of cases are male; 14 per cent are under 16. A worrying proportion involves people with learning disabilities who may not have the capacity to consent.”

Why?

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 09:18:00 -0600

Would you call me at 8:46am on a Sunday and not leave a message. It’s not your fault that my ringer was still turned up from going to a couple of shows this weekend, but still. Chances are you also know that my phone sits on my bedside table (which happens to be level with my bed) so it’s basically like Crystal Castles was playing a private show for me in my external auditory meatus when it went off.

And then you don’t even leave a message?

Or maybe you left a message, but my visual voicemail is still broken and I don’t remember the password to retrieve it manually.

Either way, you probably could have texted me, because I just reverse looked up your number, which I sort of recognise, but isn’t saved, and it is a cellular provider.

Now I’m up, so I might answer you next call, if I’m not too busy hanging on to that grudge for waking me up.

La Roux - “Bulletproof” (via acc)

I am so into this song, it’s been in my head all day. Best part of getting into songs late? Like Bat For Lashes’ “Daniel,” there are already a ton of mixes out to get excited about.

Intant La Roux reblog. <3

The rest of the album kind of disappointed me, but I still can’t stop listening to this song.

I sort of felt that way the first couple of times I heard the album because I had seriously listened to the four leaked tracks hundreds of times and I was totally used to their pacing and whatnot and expected them the be representative of the album as a whole, but they’re far from it.

The only song off the album that I truly hate, and will never learn to love is “Cover My Eyes”. I cringe every time I hear it, and I’m seriously considering unchecking it, something I’m loath to do because I hate not having the whole album on my iPod.

That being said, I can’t gush enough about “Bulletproof” (a late favourite), “Fascination” (my previous fave La Roux jam), “Colourless Colour”, “As If By Magic”, and “Growing Pains” (which I think sort of sounds like Micachu & The Shapes interspersed with a bit of Lily Allen).

I would say I was more disappointed with the Gossip’s latest album, Music for Men.

Intriguing you say that about the Gossip, because I felt like that the first time I listened to it, too. I loved a couple of tracks, but felt nothing for the rest. I forced myself to listen to it again and since then, I’ve hardly listened to anything else. I love it now.

That’s exactly the same way that I felt about the La Roux album, that being said, there have been way too many awesome albums released in a few short weeks/months: Little Boots, Mika Miko, Peaches, The Most Serene Republic, Alexisonfire, Regina Spektor, Passion Pit, Metric, Miike Snow, to name just a few.

Admittedly, I haven’t really had the time to get into Music for Men because of the aforementioned deluge of solid albums. I don’t think it’s the worst album ever or anything of that sort, far from it. There are just so many more albums that I loved at first listen.

I’m learning to love it, I’m just not fully there yet.

Nike Vandal Cool Grey

Grey is quickly becoming my new favourite shoe colour. The heel panel on this number is a checkered jacquard pattern, and the toe box is a mix of tonal grey leather and nylon.

They’re a steal at $80 from Finishline.

Jim Greco’s newest Supra shoe, The Thunder, now comes in a solid grey from Factory413.

The previous colourwoays that I’d seen did nothing for me, and I’m not all that into the stlye of the shoe, but the grey pebbled leather has converted me.
