'What are you, stupid?'

Something quite light hearted, but with a pretty good message too... In a way

He is hilarious and if you haven't seen any of his videos you just have to watch them, they're my favourite vids on youtube

He's one of those people that have done amazingly well on youtube and therefore spread to iTunes, amazon music etc

It's pretty impressive considering he makes them all/produces/writes

Be sure to watch 'Malk' as well, 'cause that's my favourite

I love his simple riffs as well which just get stuck in your head!

Anyways laugh out loud and

'I hear the children playing in the street'

More Killers!

Again, off their latest album, not very well known
Great rhythm at the beginning and very rock style of The Killers

Anyway sorry for the briefness but

'The kingdom's under siege, and everybody needs you'

Sorry about yesterday, went to wimbledon and then straight to my friend's...

But anyway, this song is exactly what a song should be, it's a story
But a special type of story, a fairytale to be exact

It is really, really good and is a prime example of a very Killers song - American, desert, south, summer etc

They're a really inspiring band with a unique sound and writing style

I hope they carry on writing and performing for a while yet

Sweet dreams and

'The Dreammaker's gonna make you mad'

It's been a hell of a long time.

And I'm sorry, but a lot's been happening what with revision, exams and France

And I'm afraid summer is on it's way so it's only going to get longer :(

HOWEVER

One week ago tonight, I saw The Killers for the third time (at hyde park)

It was honestly the most inspirational concert I have ever been to

Brandon Flowers (lead singer) is an incredible frontman and officially in my top 5 of coolest people ever, I love his and The Killer's sound (Las Vegas Rock)

They've been stuck in my head all week with several different songs
But this one is the one that kept returning
It's fairly well known and off their latest album 'Day & Age' (which is just as good as their other albums - bloody incredible) and the crowd went absolutely mental when they played it (second, they opened with Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll, which I thought was risky but worked really well)

As of last week my Dream is now to become a musician - one day...

Anyways, sorry for the wait, but this song is worth it, I love it, Del ain't so keen but oh well, give it a listen and there will definitely be more (less well known) Killers' songs to follow

Enjoy

Peace out

'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

Bathe in the Brilliance







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