'In this city'

Erm yeah not really sure what made me want to post this...

Reminds me of San Francisco?

The rap ruins the song a bit?

Erm, yeah.

Anyways

'Where lived a country boy called Johnny B. Goode'

This song is just bloody amazing

It's real rock 'n' roll and it makes me wish I was alive in the 60's

Also this song always reminds me of the Back to the Future cause it's what Marty McFly plays in the dance for his parents

Apparently it's one of the most recognisable songs in history and it's certainly gone down in history

It's just awesome and all bluesy and rocking and swinging and just too amazing

So enjoy it and go watch Back to the Future if you've never seen them

P.S. I chose this as opposed to the live version cause it's cleaner, but it's cool to watch Berry playing it live too so check it out

'I'll be there, to make you mine'

As promised, some more Air Traffic

Sorry it's a day late...

With exams looming, I know what I'll be humming as I sit in my English tomorrow staring out the window

It's this

Shooting Star

May seem like a cheesey name for a song, but I assure you my friends, there is nothing cheesey about it, it is pure underrated brilliance

I'm also promising some more Air Traffic tomorrow for the last time (for now) so be sure to check back for some more British Alternative brilliance

Hum it, whistle it, sing it

Good luck if you've got exams too, I'm sure you'll do great... ;)

'Your face, my place'

Was introduced to this band a few years ago by my cuz

Completely forgot about it until yesterday when I heard one of their songs somewhere

It' a really really catchy song and the video is thuper cool so be sure to watch the whole thing

I absolutely adore British bands (cause I'm not the biggest fan of american music) and these guys from Bournemouth are a true alt rock band

Be sure to check out some of their other stuff but I reckon I'll post a different one of their songs tomorrow so watch this space

Anyway I'll stop babbling on now and let you

'Oooohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohooh Oooooooooohoohooohoohoohoohoohoohooh'

Been stuck in my head all day

It's one of the songs that you feel you've known the tune for ever

There's a live performance of it where they start with the tune and the crowd responds and it's as if Tom Meighan is playing with play-doh

Couldn't find it though so enjoy the song rather than the showmanship I guess

Awesome tuuune

P.S. Good video, very clever

'Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?'

Some light hearted humour today because there's been lots of heavy stuff

Weird Al is a genius

I think this is one of if not his best

The lyrics are great and hilarious and when I first heard it I was in tears

I still know almost all the words... ANYWAY

It's super funny, so check out his other parodies as well

Enjoy

Bathe in the parodic Brilliance (and yes, parodic is a word!)

P.S. The name of the song is 'A complicated song' not 'A complicated story' as said in the video, for when you go and buy it on iTunes of course ;)
