'Shame, shame go away come again some other day'

One of the new songs from the Foo Fighters, and, in my opinion - Genius!

Just some interesting stuff - The lead singer and frontman of the Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl) was actually the drummer of Nirvana

It's very rare that you get a drummer that sings but quite common that you get a singer that drums (if that makes any sense)

So I've liked Foo Fighters for a while, I really like their heavy sound (which does remind me quite a lot of Nirvana), and I lurve their new album

Be sure to check it out on Spotify/iTunes/Youtube or whatever floats your boat

I also think the lyrics are great for this (I mean 'Shame, shame/Fame, fame go away come again some other day' is one of my favourite lyrics I know as of today. I also think 'You and what army?' incorporated into a song is awesome) and just work

So listen, download and

P.S. Foo Fighters got their name from UFO's and other aerial stuff during WW2 - Fascinating stuff ;)

'I got soul but I'm not a soldier'

Well now, I guess you must know my passion for The Killers if you've been avidly following my blog (which I'm sure no one has) so it won't come as a surprise that today it's another Killers song...

The inspiration for this came when I was shooting through the suburb on my bike
'Now' you're thinking 'Surely this is a perfect moment for some Arcade Fire?!'

Alas, my iPod was thinking differently and took me to The Killers

At this moment I'd just like to point out that The Killers is a very odd name for a band if you think about it

Which goes brilliantly with the extremely strange video

However if you watch it fully it does actually make sense with him showing us all the things that he's done...

And I've known this song for years but every time I listen to it it makes everything seem better

So enjoy and (you guessed it)

'What's wrong the the world mama?'

Let me remind you of a golden age

Where Pop was Popular music
Where R&B was Rhythm and Blues
Where Hip Hop was bare and real
And Rap meant something

And the Black Eyed Peas were real musicians

One of the best songs I know, and one of the most meaningful as well
Sometimes with songs it's all about the music and less about the lyrics, this most definitely is not one of the songs

So before you just play it and vaguely listen

Watch it, listen to it and really listen

P.S. I still adore Will.i.am

'Get on your dancing shoes, you sexy little swine'

Now, I've always known about the Arctic Monkeys, but only recently have I really got into their stuff
Which I love.

To be honest, I think I like it cause it's more alternative/rock than indie

Now there's nothing wrong with indie, but sometimes it is just too indie?
If that makes sense?

Now I just want to point out his unbelievable Sheffield accent which I adore

It's crazily characterful and adds so much to all their songs

I can't wait for their new album 'Suck it and See' coming out on the 7th June or around

Thinking about their last albums I'm sure it'll be a shocker as usual

Anyways, listen, enjoy and

P.S. Check out the video, it ain't the official one but I lurve it and think it goes really rather well. Very nice, very nice indeed

'I wish I was her'

As (hopefully) most of you know, Adele recently released a new album

Due to the utter amazingness of '19', people expected this to be even better

Unfortunately (in my opinion)













It wasn't

It has two great tracks on it which slightly make up for the noise that accompanies them but honestly, it just ain't a good album


Which is unfortunate because who isn't jealous of that voice

So instead, today I greet you with and old 'un, which does get slightly underlooked

So look, remember and

'How can you love what it is you have got, when you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?'

Hi Everybody!
(Hi Dr Nick!)

It may seem like a pretty depressing title, but it actually comes from one of my favourite bands at the mo

Mumford & Sons

There is just something about them, nobody really knows what it is.
Except it's really, really good.

It may be that they're completely different to everything ever
Or Marcus Mumford's velvety voice
Or the subtle harmonies
Or the folkiness

Or all of those reasons and more.

All I know is, it's changed the way I listen to music
At least at this moment in time

So enjoy and

P.S. I think it's damn awesome how Marcus Mumford plays the Drum and sings

'It's not always rainbows and butterflies, it's compromise that moves us along'

Woah, long title.

Anyway, sorry it's been a while, what with Easter holidays, skiing, hiking and going to court...

(wow my life is exciting)

So I was sitting in this waiting room all dressed up in my little shirt and chinos when a song came on

It was like a distant memory

Maroon 5
(See what I did there?)

But this one was slightly different
Remember the funkied up 'Modern Way'?

It was like that, but better...

She will be loved samba style

So
