'Leaves are falling down on the beautiful ground'

Just found out I am going to see this band live for the 3rd time! They're one of my favourite bands of all time and are unbelievable live.

They were also the first band I saw live, so they will always have a special place with me :)

This isn't one of their best known songs, but it's really rather good.

People always say 'Oh you listen to their commercial songs', and this is true. Although they are often the commercial songs because they are their best songs, often they're only played on the radio lots, and they aren't actually that good.

Anyway I'll stop rambling and leave you to enjoy the beauty of The Killers

Bathe in the Brilliance




P.S. Hot Fuss is one of those rare albums where everything is really good, and Sam's Town is one of those extremely rare albums where every song is excellent


P.P.S. Not one of The Killers has ever done drugs

'I've given all I can, it's not enough'

I love the opening lyrics to this song

"Karma Police, arrest this man
He talks in maths"

It is such a sinister and haunting song, but works so well

The lyrics are fantastic and Thom York has an awesome voice

The album it's from "OK Computer" is just brilliant as are all their albums. Radiohead are one of those bands you can just tell who it is by the voice and style of play, which I think is a great thing to have for a band.

Most people think Radiohead - Creep, but their stuff is really deep and it's all pretty damn good. Anyways,

I just lurve this song, and everyone should know it

'I need this, old train to break down'

Well now, it's been a long day

And at the end of a long day, all you want is some nice relaxing, soulful music

These were the thoughts going through my head as I walked my dog, 'bopping' to some Jack Johnson (not John Jackson)

Now, I really didn't expect him to look like that

But this brings up and interesting point with musicians, their music doesn't alway represent what they look like

For example, I always thought RockStars were always really cool, but to be honest, most of them look damn nerdy...

Anyways,

P.S. Loving the Ukulele ;)

'And up rolls the Riot Van'

Well, it's been quite a while and for that I am truly sorry, for I have been away and not had a chance to post a song

As I was flying (and falling) down the ski slopes, the band that really caught my attention was the Arctic Monkeys

I can't wait for their new album (6th June) as their old stuff is unbelievable

Anyways, gotta go to a Jew Festival night thing so enjoy and

'You'll pay for your crimes against the world'

Well now, Muse may not be everyones' first choice of band due to their weird beliefs about their music reaching aliens


BUT

I've recently been listening to some of their stuff, and I liiiiike it

It's quite techno and electro with lots of 'wah' effects, but it is a breath of fresh air from lots of stuff that's very similar

Anyways, don't have much time so I'll just post the song and be on my way

Bathe in the spacey brilliance


(With clips from a great film in the background - Watchmen)





P.S. Sorry about no song yesterday, I made up for that on Sunday ;)

'She's only dreaming of Revelry'

'Revelry' - Boisterous festivity
'17' - Being one more than sixteen

Definitions of the titles of these two songs by www.dictionary.com

Now you probably (hopefully) know what '17' means, but 'Revelry' may be slightly trickier

Two songs today because I just couldn't decide between them, they're rather similar in the fact they're:

Both by the Kings of Leon
Both on the album before the current one (Only By The Night)
Both awesome songs that don't get played enough

Now, 'Only by the Night' is arguably their second best album (To 'Youth and Young Manhood') and is (what I think) one of those rare where every song is pretty damn good (Then you get the super rare albums where every song is Excellent, e.g. Sigh No More, Lungs...). Most songs on it are rather underrated and it's a shame they don't get played on the radio too much, when they really should be


A 'lil info about the band:

Consists of three brothers and their cousin
All very young
Formed in Tennessee with heavy blues and southern influences

Fascinating stuff, I know

Anyways I'll just get on with it

Bathe in the brilliance





P.S. Don't you just love his voice?

'And everything is going to the beat'

Does anyone know what the words to this song are?

I mean even the singer must think he's singing rubbish?

However, despite the lack of... Well, words, it is an awesome song and although I usually strongly dislike synthetic sounds I lurrrrrve it in this song

It just,

works

I also strongly like the name of the band because it involves the word PASSION


And therefore is awesome

You may wonder how I stumbled across such odd music, and the truth is

LittleBigPlanet


Which is a Playstation game, actually it's so much more than a gam (which may sound odd) but it really is something more


Anyway before I start rambling on about loserish things such as Playstation... I'll get on with it and post the song, always cheers me up

Bathe in the random brilliance







P.S. I'm going away tomorrow, so there may not be a song a day :(

But I'll try my best
