you wrote a blog about your favourite band, thinking you would never like their album and that it was all going wrong and you had effectively given up on them, but then hear the album and fall in love all over again?

Bloc Party have totally done it.

Intimacy is immense.

What do you do when a band you have liked since you saw them live in 2004 and loved them from that moment on release something that is so awful and such a mistake?

I am sure Bloc Party's track, Mercury will grow on me, but probably not as much as I would like.

I liked Flux, eventually. It took me a while, but you could still tell it was them. And please, I couldn't care less if it has guitars in or whatever. I just want to think of them when I hear it.

Not that I…

Okay - so lately I have been playing a constant stream of Swedish music and in my opinion the the more sickenly sweet and twee the better.
Perhaps it's just because we have had quite a bit of sun lately (sunglasses on!) that I have felt the need to listen to such summery songs, that can only be described with stupid words like 'cute' and 'endearing', I'm sure I never used to be able to describe songs using these words.
Admittedly England does have a few artists I would place under this catergory, the obvious choice being Los Campesinos!.…

Not felt the need to blog for a while, although now I feel many coming along at once. I only found out today (although it seems to be somewhat 'old news') but dear komakino have split. I am honestly gutted. I have seen them many times and everytime I was convinced that it wouldn't be long before everyone shared my love for them and they got the recognition they deserved. They had some of the most well written songs I have heard and they live performances were immense, although I believe they had some trouble with their line-up and perhaps…

The Twilight Sad
That's all.
Complete pure obsession.

well it has been a while since i posted on here. summer 2007 was a complete wash out, but am back in london & all is good again.

am rather looking forward to the next two gigs i'm going to, but especially this one it's going to be beautiful :)

listened to hardly any music over summer, this made me sad, but now despite my computer dying on me only yesterday (yes once again i had to wipe and format the entire harddrive - i am becoming a bit of a speedy pro at re-installing drivers and programs) i have…

i have neglected last.fm this summer for two reasons. one, i have been working so much i have hardly had time to listen to music, which makes me a very sad panda v_v and two, my computer died on me again.
but i am back and my music is all restored and i have finished work for the summer and i have plently of albums and songs i need to get round to listening to and once my loan comes through i shall subscribe again ^-^

so far i have three albums…thing is all three are so very different and i like them for different reasons. though i guess i dont need to decide quite yet the ultimate one, 2007 is far from over :)

in no order

the maccabees - colour it in
i know very little about the maccabees. i only downloaded their album cos i am an avid nme reader and they seemed to be a bit of an nme band, a shallow reason i know. there is a lot of stuff like this out at the moment, and although i like i…

last night i went to see trash fashion, psychofags in binbags!!! and puppy bucket & donny choonara at the two pigs in cheltenham.

first on were puppy bucket & donny choonara who proved that cheltenham has talent! they easily had the biggest audience of the night and they had their new look line up and new sounding set and it definitely definitely the best time i've seen them. and the crowd loved them, and all those glowstick just looked awesome! so yeh, very impressive.

psychofags in binbags was awesome. i was looking forward to him quite a bit…
