'Coming out of my cage'

Feeling like something a bit more upbeat today, as most of the others have been rather slow...

Songs really are amazing

May sound a bit odd, but I've been trying (well failing really) to write a song recently and have come up with zilch.

Guess my creative 'juices' haven't got 'flowing' yet

Anyways hope they will soon, especially once I 'come out of my cage...' (HAHAHAHA - funny joke. not)



p.s. Brandon Flowers (the lead singer) is a damn good actor

'Set fire to the third bar'

Snow patrol




What an odd name for a band, always made me think of this

However I'm pretty sure they aren't a bunch of antarctic trekker...

I also used to think that the 'third bar' meant the third bar of music. Classic Jacob trying to me too smart for my own good. Well considering they 'hang their coats up in the first bar' I doubt it can be music... But is actually a great video as well as a powerful song...

Also - Martha Wainwright? I mean who on earth is she?

Rufus wainwright's sister apparently, it's like happy families (a bloody awesome game)?

Anyways you probably have no idea what the hell I'm on about so I guess I'll just post the link and be done with it

Enjoy

Passion Fruit and Tea

Feeling a bit keen today (well keener than usual) so I though I'd explain the passion fruit in the background

Real musicians don't discover music to make money (note I said discover, not create. But that is another story for another time), they do it for the joy, the love and the passion (fruit). So that explains that rather awful pun...

And about the tea... Well I just love tea - especially earl grey, it just helps you flow and definitely helps songwriters as demonstrated by Nirvana with Pennroyal Tea (not my fave song but it has tea in it so what the hey)

And as tea is a drink, along with alcohol, I'd like to leave you on this note



A fantastic songs, with real connotations.

'Hometown Glory'

Just listening to the radio (Absolute radio - the best out there) and a song came on that has been played a lot recently. It's a beautiful song, and as you may have guessed from the title it's 'Someone like you' by Adele. Now I think this is easily one of the best albums to come out in a while, and this (her main single if you like) is also brilliant, and has attracted a lot of attention. Good for her, she's got loads of attention which she totally deserves as her voice is a little slice of heaven. It is criminal just to listen to this single and there's nothing I hate more than one hit wonders (which Adele certainly isn't) and I just want to make sure everyone knows how good all of her stuff is, so make sure you give a listen to her last (and current) album because it really is true music.

You will never forget this

A song a day keeps the doctor away

Yo to whoever's out there (if anyone), I was looking around and thinking 'Hmm, there's no music blogs' so quite obviously I decided to make one. 

Music is all about opinions and my personal style is alternative/rock/indie, so that's the kind of stuff I'll be posting. 

BUT

If you do like poop - I mean pop ;) Then be sure to read on anyways and discover new stuff you might like because good music is such a rarity these days with all those synthetic sounds out there. And so, to begin this epic - and epic song
