good news

Christine McVie retired from Fleetwood Mac over 15 years ago, and now, she's coming back to the band. During a concert in Hawaii last night, Mick Fleetwood told the audience, "This is the worst kept secret there is, but Christine McVie will be rejoining Fleetwood Mac". (via)

Forty male beagles raised inside a lab in Spain arrived in Los Angeles last week where they will be put up for adoption after being freed from captivity by the Beagle Freedom Project.

The rescue mission is the largest yet for the group Animal Rescue Media Education (ARME). A total of 72 dogs were rescued in the effort, 32 of them having already been adopted in Europe, according to NBC Los Angeles. (via)

fleetwood mac appreciation day

after that whole fleetwood mac episode, i'm listening to their discography at work today. currently, i'm on mirage (featuring amazing songs like "that's alright", "gypsy", and "hold me"), and the way lindsey buckingham sings on this album is reminding me of something. i finally put my finger on it.

the guy from architecture in helsinki sounds just like mirage-lindsey on their new album, moment bends. take a listen:


fleetwood mac - empire state


architecture in helsinki - escapee

so i got to googlin', and i found this!

Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham has cut a towering presence over Architecture In Helsinki these past two years.

A three-metre-squared poster of the guitarist took over the wall of the band's Melbourne studio as they created their forthcoming album, Moment Bends.

Architecture In Helsinki even nicknamed the recording space "Buckingham Palace" in reference to their musical idol staring down.

He proved a deliberate influence, according to the band's keyboard player and singer Kellie Sutherland.

"We all love Fleetwood Mac because of the nostalgia they create and the craftsmanship of their songs, everything from their vocal harmonies to their amazing story," Sutherland told AAP.

"We're especially fond of Lindsey Buckingham and we wanted him around overseeing everything, to be constantly reminded of the romanticism wrapped up in his band." (via)

it worked! moment bends is a great album! just like mirage!

i love them more.

hopefully, you watched glee last night. it was SO good, mainly because the episode was comprised entirely of songs from fleetwood mac's classic album, rumours. joel and i were simul-watching, and we ended up in a text-argument about who loves fleetwood mac more.

i proposed that we consult 2Pz to determine the winner, explaining that while he was sure to win a rihanna-loving contest, i had fleetwood mac in the bag. it is, after all, a living document which has recorded the history of things we like for over 2 years!

the results (this post will show up in each, but just scroll on down):

posts with a 'fleetwood mac' tag (kylie - 4, joel - 0)
search results for 'fleetwood mac' (kylie - 3, joel - 0)
search results for 'stevie nicks' (kylie - 1, joel - 2)

i think the winner is clear. i love fleetwood mac, and joel simply exhibits a normal gay-man adoration of stevie nicks. however, we both agreed that using 2Pz to settle our differences is going to be a fun new game.
