Got Some Tunes [July]

Just quickly, I've added a playlist to the right hand side of the page where I've added all possible songs from these types of blogs to make checking them out a bit easier. Songs on the playlist are in italics.

Here we go again:

Set Your Goals: This will be the death of us
I LOVE SET YOUR GOALS. This song is really good xD It's got Vinnie from the band 'I Am The Avalanche', he pretty much makes this song. It's funny because France is probably the only person I know who knows who I Am The Avalanche are. They're good checkem out. Along with this song.

Get Set Radio: I kissed a girl
Oh yes I love covers of this song. I think Get Set Radio sound and look a little like Exit Avenue. Their music isn't amazing but I quite liked it. I also liked this video. Watch til the end, it made me laugh =)

All Time Low: Damned if I do ya (damned if I don't)

Tuuune. In my opinion it's way better than weightless (first single from the new album). It's a lot catchier and poppier and just all round better. Check it.

Madina Lake: Lets get outta here

God this is 10000000000times better than the last single. It sounds pretty retro and it has a rather catchy chorus. I must say, it has made me maybe wanna check out their new album.

George Lenton feat. Perkie: Sleep

I heard this on Kerrang! radio, which is really weird cos if you do listen to it, it is very electro and not particularly rock but it does sound very good. Also, I'd quite like to know, the girl on vocals sounds SO MUCH like someone else but I just can't think who, any suggestions?

All Time Low: Weightless

I know that I said that I wasn't a huge fan of this song but the video is pretty amazing.

P-Money ft. Vince Harder: Everything

Oh my god this is a tuuune. It's catchy and dancey and a lil bit hip hopy. And totally worth checking out (Y)

Just Quickly.

Please vote on this.

It will settle a debate between Curie and myself.

Thank you!

I Can't Believe This.

Once again, somehow, I have managed to inflict a virus upon my computer.
But only this time I did absolutely nothing to bring this virus about.
I am very very very angry.
Arrgghhh, I think I may actually cry.
The internet is such a loser.

Not only does this virus keep sending out links on facebook but also
Firefox isn't working (no great loss seeing as my Internet Explorer has decided to pick up again).
Videos on youtube won't work cos I can't download the new flash player.

I am currently doing a nice little scan of my computer, so hopefully that will turn something up that can sort out all my issues.
Also, just a quick question, if I delete something from the virus vault does that mean that I've deleted it from my computer or that I've released it back onto my computer?

Raahhh... I bet it's my mum that's got all these viruses!
All those illegal downloads she does =/

Sorry to anyone that my virus has annoyed. Although it really isn't my fault that I have it.
James thinks I'm a right knob. Oh well... =(
I'm off to throw myself out of a window.
I hate life.

Got Some Tunes [June]

I figured that I'm going to do this every month.
And I'm gonna update throughout the month so check back to see if anything's changed.

Asher Roth: Boom boom pow
He did this cover in the live lounge it is SO GOOD.
Charlotte also pointed out to me that he's actually quite buff... I never noticed.



MSTRKRFT feat John Legend: Heartbreaker
It's just good dance music. I love this song, I turn it up ridiculously loud when it's on the radio.

La Roux: Bulletproof
It's not better than 'In for the kill', it's just as good.

Eminem: Beautiful
It's quite dark but like, it's really worth a listen. Admittedly I only liked the starting and ending bit the first time I heard it but it is a definite grower.

Carolina Liar: Show me what I'm looking for
Apparently this was on 90210. I wouldn't know, I don't watch that awful programme. Nevertheless, it is a rather good song. (I really need to find a synonym for 'good')

You Me At Six: Pokerface
The vocals aren't particularly good on this but it's worth looking at right? Phwwooaar



Eminem: 3am [Travis Barker remix]
I'm not sure that it's better than the original, but it definitely adds something to the song that the original was lacking... and by that I don't mean some TB drumming...

Ellie Goulding: Starry eyed

This is officially the most amazing song ever. That is not an overstatement. It's like a mixture between La Roux and Florence and the Machine. It is well worth checking out. There's also a dupstep remix by Jakwob which is rather good also.

Kof: Famous

He's good! Although I can not find this song anywhere on the internet =( But it samples that song that goes, "when will I-will I be famous". It's reeeeeally catchy and a bit of a tune.

Stornoway: Zorbing

Stornoway are like a lil indie/folk band and this is the first song I've ever heard of theirs. It's pretty mellow and summery. Also check out the video (I cba to link it) cos they've got some pretty fetching hats going on xD

You Me At Six on BBC Sound

Okay, so this was a total massive suprise for Ami's birthday. She had totally no idea what we were doing until Curie told her whilst we were queueing.
Oh my god. I don't think that I have ever done so much queueing and waiting around in one afternoon (except maybe at Thorpe Park) as I did yesterday. It was rather ridiculous.
So let me tell you the story [NB: If you cba to read all this just skip to "the good bit"]:

So Ami and I got on the train to Victoria from East Croydon, only then to discover that the Victoria line wasn't working. This led to the MOST MASSIVE trek around east London EVER. Serious it was like, 20min on the circle line from Victoria to Liverpool street, then 10min on the central line from Liverpool street to Stratford and then another 10min on the overground from Stratford to Hackney Central. Of course there were quicker routes but that is not the point.
Okay so Curie and Ali are there already when we get there along with rather a lot of other people. The extremely camp guy (who I did in fact come to like throughtout the afternoon) comes round asking for people who have priority tickets. Naturally I said no. Less than 2minutes later I realise that I do indeed have priority tickets. So theres me running down the road and I run up to him and I'm like "no, wait, sorry, I do have priority tickets" and he totally didn't believe me until I showed him the email.
I've just realised this all sounds extremely boring. So I'll continue quickly. Basically: Curie and Ali dont get in cos they dont have priority but then they get priority to another one, Ami and I wait around a lot, we go inside and fill in a form, we wait around some more, we go out side to wait around some more, and some more, and then some more. AND THEN we finally go to the place. It was funny having 60+ people walking around London in one big group.

The Good Bit
Ami and I get inside. I'm all like "oh my god, we're in the tv, this is weird" and Ami's all like "oh my god, you me at six are like that far away from us, this is weird". I assure you, it was rather weird. I will now list what happened in the order it happened... as best I can remember (yes I know it was only yesterday but I forget these things).

1.
You Me At Six come in and everyone screams. Standard. They did Finders Keepers and Save It For The Bedroom. They did both of them quite a number of times cos Josh kept messing them up. But hey who cares, he looked fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. So yeah that was good. Oh apart from Max spitting. Not kool. Hopefully they show that on tv. But basically he spits and it goes over everyone near him. IT WENT IN MY EYE. It stung =(

2.
Annie and Nick come out and do their opening link. So Nick's standing there with a carrot stick in hand and just goes "argh why is it so hot?" We laughed but I don't think he heard.

3.
Fanprentice. Was alright. It was so obvious that the girl who won was gonna win though. She looked a bit like Amelia's cousin I thought.

4.
Chats with You Me At Six. I think this was the highlight. And my favourite bit of the day. Basically they're doing a quiz for Josh where they go around his room and then they ask him questions about it. They will probably edit it out though.
Annie: Question one. According to your band mates, what do you spend the most time doing in your bed?
Josh sits back in his seat and says: Well I don't like to brag but err you know...
Annie: No, not that, a) reading, b) sleeping or c) masturbating?
I thought that was ratherrrr funny.

5.
Chats with Chipmunk. He was quite funny. But he did look extremely bored whilst they were talking to YMAS. But yeah he was good.

6.
Grimshaw Files. We were quite near the back so couldn't really see what was going on but yeah.

7.
Oh my god and then they made us do things. How embarrasing. She was like, "applause, now a little bit of appluase, now do a big belly laugh (this was most embarrasing), and then laugh as if it's only a bit funny, now aww as if something was sweet, and finally make a noise as though something was really gross. I think this was just to make us look silly.



So there it was. We didn't get to meet Annie, Nick or You Me At Six.
BUT!
I cunningly recognised Exit Avenue! So I walk up to them and I say, "sorry, are you exit avenue?"
And drummer goes, "I think you've just made our day"
One of them turns around like, "has it just happened?"
And the drummer's like, "yeah we just got recognised, and it's at you me at six's shoot as well."
So they all gave me a high five =)
We also got them to have a picture with the Is This Canterbury (www.myspace.com/isthiscanterbury) sticker thing.
And then it was time for a rather long trek home. It took an hour and a half to be precise.
But was a good day overall. And Ami enjoyed it which was the main aim of the day.
