Mandy Amano/The Wombats/Infernal Devices
Mandy Amano
Mandy Amano, the girl that launched a 1000 blogs! And all because of her 30 secs of fame in a Pepsi/i-tunes advert.
She is cute though.
Personally I didn't know anything about her, what with me not living in the states - the ad first aired during the 2005 Superbowl - It was only due to stumbling across this rather strange blog that I even heard about her: That Pepsi Girl
See the adverts: Here and Here
The Wombats
Big in japan? No. Big in China? Yes.
The Wombats, although virtually unknown in their native UK are huge in China! The band are students at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, which helped fund their trip to China under a partnership with the organisers of Beijing's Midi festival. They have played three gigs: one in Shanghai and two in Beijing and went down a storm. The three piece play traditional punksy indie with quirky lyrics, ‘Lost in the Post’ is jaggly and sounds like how The Wannadies would have sounded had they been born in Liverpool.
also worth hearing 'derail and crash', check them out Here
MP3: The Wombats - Lost in the Post
Infernal Devices - Phillip Reve
Infernal devices is the third book in the mortal engines series, the two main characters have had a child and it follows her (Wren) and her entrance into the world her parents used to inhabit, that of traction cities, airships and regenerated dead pre nuclear soldiers. It still reads like a modern sci fi famous five or swallows and amazons but with lumbering tank like cities instead of boats, it’s still very absorbing for my childlike mind though.
I picked this up at the library, they only had it in hardback, it’s like carrying a dead body around.
