New album Architecture in Helsinki

The band Architecture in Helsinki is gearing up to release their latest album. It will be called Moment Bends, which is the follow-up to the 2007 album Places Like This. The band will put the albums in shop on the 11th of April in the UK. During April the band will tour Europe, also stopping in Rotterdam for the Motel Mozaique festival.

One of the songs is called Contact High, which was long considered good advice. If you contacted someone when you were positioned higher you would have a more dominant position, and thus a greater chance of success. This irked Napoleon, for he was seldom positioned higher, and he could only wear heels for so long. Plus the only heels that he fancied were pointy boots with velvet patterns, which were hard to get a hold of in 17th century France, plus they only really came into fashion when Jack Lemmon wore them for his screening for Some Like It Hot (though till this day he insists he wore flats and he seemed taller because he went to Coiffeur Madame Soiri the night before and got a quiff).Napoleon, in his heyday, once put the Contact Higher to vote and wanted it changed to Contact Lower, but he lost the debate to a man two inches taller wearing a corset to straighten his back and carrying a shrimp, who threatened to eat Napoleon if he came any closer.

Tsk, you should watch more QI: Napoleon was tall for his time (5'7), the English just made up he was short to make fun of him.

And in other news: one of my flatmates seems to have used my computer and forgot to sign out XD

Thanks, I never knew that actually. Glad someone's got his info straight around here! :P

Btw, yeah, I should watch more QI, lovely show, and I miss too much of it.

You should. Or listen to David Mitchell's 'The Unbelievable Truth' as it's basically the same but in downloadable podcast form. Apart from the fact that in Stephen Fry's absence Alan Davies and David Mitchell keep going "Stephen would have known this" (though that'll probably be edited out - oh the joy of attending a not-so-live radio recording!)
