She can always be replaced…
Do you need a new indie song slash crush slash obsession? Voila, King Charles. Aside from the fact that I’m jealous of his hair, the song Love Lust is a gem. This London-based musician crosses the boundaries of many genres; his music is a sort of folk, pop, indie, rock fusion, which seems completely incongruous, but definitely works. King Charles’ look is far from royalty, but Read more ►
Rumors, Rumors, Rumors
We have just been told from a source who, in the past has been known for reliable information, but we are unsure because of how big this is.
Here we go:
Calvin Harris might be coming to St. Andrews in November. Since he is playing in Dundee around November 3rd, I’d say that our best guess is that he will be arriving some time around that date. Beyond that, I really have no idea. We literally just got sent that photo…
From what I’ve heard around town, its gonne be huge. Keep checking back for updates.
And here for all you little kiddies, is a video of how awesome Calvin Harris actually is

The School Girl Bop
Probably my favorite of the whole year. The school girl bop is a must for any fresher hoping to fulfill a lifetime fantasy. Tonight in Venue 1 at the Union. If you grab a drink from the main bar before 11PM you get free entry. Its gonna suck What a deal!
I will say though, as they did last year, it should have been later on in the school year. I think establishing a more consistent “themed” bop is necessary before introducing such a good idea to the freshers. My no.1 worry for tonight is that people won’t be dressing up. That just ruins the whole night for everyone. Also, if anyone is wondering, we definately wont be there totally will be there.

Charity Opening Ball – Mr. Hudson’s Last Stand
The Charity Opening ball talk that I’ve heard since the event has been a shmorgishborg of both positive and negative reviews. Two things people have been saying most: 1: John the Evangelist and Bring Back The Planes rocked it. 2. Mr Hudson was kind of a let down. I think they have a point. People came to see Mr. Hudson and either left before he came on or only saw him for half an hour maximum. What ended up happening is The Planes played for an hour, John played for two then Mr. Hudson went on for what was supposed to be an hour but turned into roughly half an hour once he hit the stage. Then he just had his DJ finish off the night. I can’t say I was upset by the decision as I was in love with the music his DJ choose the play – mostly jungle and dubstep. I can’t, unfortunately, say that the rest of the crowd was enjoying it as much as I was. They came to see Mr. Hudson and left after a half an hour of london’s finest. This wasn’t the KK’s fault and I don’t think there was anything they could have done that would have changed the outcome except not book him in the first place. Yet frankly, I think they made a good choice in Mr. Hudson – top 40. artist signed to Kanye’s record label and for a decent price. You would have to be crazy not to book him. After the night ended, I had a short chat Hudson. It went something like this:
Me to Mr. Hudson’s DJ: “Dude great set! It was sick!”
Hudson’s DJ: “Hey thanks a lot man!”
Mr. Hudson: “What about me?”
Disappointing, Mr. Hudson, Disappointing.

You Need To See This.
So this just leaked photo is of the Starfields 09 stage at Craigtoun Country Park (we here at Saintandre.ws have seen the location and it’s completely off the hook). I don’t know what to say other then it’s going to be an awesome night. Everyone covered in glitter and neon, going crazy in front of this stage? I mean, come on. What else is there to say. This stage is epic, and tomorrow night is going to be epic too. From what we can see the Starfields 09 team has done a professionally legit job. Just another heads up from your friends at Saintandre.ws. We’ll see you there.
CHECK THIS
OMG OMG OMG we just got these from Starfields 09. Do you SEEEEE that shit?! Its fucking insane. I wonder how much that must have cost to put together. Probably serious serious cash. I think I’m going to let the photos do the talking for themselves this time.
They’re going to be building 8 more of these:
And stacking them like this:

How sick does the final product look?!
Mr. Pixel – I’m Sorry I but This MUST BE HEARD
So a few days ago, I got sent this track by local St. Andrews artists Mr. Pixel (more commonly known as Josh Lipworth). You have to check this track out. Since then, he has decided he didn’t like the drop and removed it from his soundcloud, but this song is incredible! (including the drop). You all need to check this out. We need to convince him this is something the world needs to hear!
