Got Some Tunes [October]

I can't wait til I can do these as vlogs rather than typed...
Oh and I finally got my playlist over there --->>> to work again! As far as I am aware, it will not work for you if you use Firefox or Internet Explorer 8 or higher.
Spiffing.
Whilst trying to do this this month, I've found I have a lot of songs to shout about but not much to say about each of them =/

Glamour Of The Kill: A hope in hell
I have had this song in my head for the past 48hours. It has the catchiest 'woaaahhh woah wooaahhh woah' ever.

Mr Hudson: White lies (Rusko remix)
I absolutely hate the original version of this song. I personally think it sounds horrible to listen to. This remix however makes the song sound at least 10times better.

Cobra Starship: Good girls go bad (ft Leighton Meister)
Personally I don't like Leighton Meister but she really fits in well with this song which is, by the way, SUCH A TUNE. If it doesn't get you hooked on the first listen it sure will after the second. Spesh that lil breakdown bit in the middle which sounds a bit like Hollaback Girl.

Ou Est Le Swimming Pool: Dance the way I feel
I can remember what this song sounds like until I hear it and it gets to the chorus with the 'dance the way I feel' lyric in it. Nevertheless, it's a pretty spiffing dancey/synthy/indie tuuune.

Miike Snow: Black & Blue
Beautiful. I love this song. It's a catchy kinda mellow indie pop song. And it's really good. There's a rather immense Capsa remix of this if you prefer some dubstep. Also the video has the guy who used to play Reg in the bill in it. I loved Reg.

Ian Brown: Stellify
Oh my gaahh I love Ian Brown... well I say that but in reality I just love 'FEAR'. Point still stands. I guess this song is pretty much textbook Ian Brown but it's pretty good all the same. Although when I try to think what this sounds like I can only think of the new Robbie Williams which sounds very IanBrownish.

Everything Everything: My Kz Ur Bf
You can't go wrong with a song containing the line 'and he was looking at me like woah'. Well maybe you can but Everything Everything can't. There's also a b-side to this, can't quite remember what it's called... something to do with NASA I think. That's also worth checking out.

We Are The Ocean: These days, I have nothing
SERIOUS GROWER ALERT. On first listen this song sound dreadful and really doesn't make the new WATO album look worth it but give it a few more listens and I promise you will warm to it. The only thing wrong with this song is the bit where Dan starts talking rather than shouting... not really sure what's up with that...

Ellie Goulding: Under the sheets
She is amazing. This is her first actual proper single. Check her out if you like La Roux/Florence. I think I should find her voice really annoying but it's just not. Don't think this is as good as Starry Eyed but it's still pretty good and I've only heard it twice.

P-Money Ft. Vince Harder Love Alone
Follow up to 'Everything' and this track also features the same vocalist, Vince Harder. I'm not sure this one is as instantly likeable as the previous but it still sounds pretty good. I also find it a little repetative but not so repetative that it's not bearable. Although, the outro does seem to go on forever!

It's A Small World (Wide Web)

ZOMGLOLJKZ.


My youtube story.


About a month ago I subscribed to the LoveHateSociety channel.
A couple weeks ago I came across a youtuber called Dan2Shambles.
After the You Me At Six gig on 9/9/09 (!!!) I took the last flyer for a gig from a nice looking boy outside the venue.
Yesterday I came across a youtuber called Pete a.k.a KapowVlogging (phwwooarrrr!).
KapowVlogging has a girlfriend called lightscameraashlee.
Lightscameraashlee posted a video on the LoveHateSociety channel instead of EddPlant this week.
In this video lightscameraashlee reviewed the film 'Role Models' and a band called 'We Sunk Ships'.
She also mentioned Dan2Shambles is the drummer in We Sunk Ships.
I opened the link to the We Sunk Ships myspace; on which I found a picture of the flyer for We Sunk Ship's EP release show.
I recognised the flyer but couldn't think where from; whilst I was rumaging for my GCSE history folder under my bed I found the flyer I'd been given after the YM@6 show.

HOW GODDAMN WEIRD IS ALL OF THAT?!

Got Some Tunes [September]

I am still no where near sorting out that ridiculous playlist. I really can not be bothered to sit and battle with it anymore.

Lostprophets: It's not the end of the world but I can see it from here
I found this song extremely boring and samey when I first heard it. I actually thought "if this is what they spent the last 3years working on not only have they wasted their time but also everyone else's time who's been waiting for this MAJORLY ANTICIPATED album". But I must admit, it has grown on me a fair bit. Although it does sound very "The Blackout".

Funeral For A Friend: Wrench
I haven't been a fan of FFAF's latest work but this song sounds a lot more like their "Casually dressed..." album, which in my opinion means that this song deserves a listen from anyone in favour of old school FFAF.

The Big Pink: Dominos
And the winner for the catchiest chorus in a song ever (well maybe not ever) goes to the Big Pink. This was the first I've ever heard of their music and I must admit, it is rather good. Plus the chorus is so catchy! I did make the mistake of thinking they were American though... not sure what gave me that impression...

Pixie Lott: Boys and girls

I think that I actually LOVE Pixie Lott! Gosh she isn't half amazing! When I first heard this I thought that it was very similar to "Mama do" and yes in fact it is practically the same song with different lyrics and without that "uh oh uh oh" bit but it's still a pretty amazing fun party tune.

DJ Fresh: Hypercaine
Catchy drum and bass. Got some like 90s pop over some heavy bass. I'm not gonna be the one to say that it doesn't work.

Deaf Havana: Friends like these
I
I love Deaf Havana SO SO SO MUCH. They are so good! And with a line in this song like "We've just been getting by on stupidly good looking and spending time spitting out these stupidly good hooks". Tbh, I'm not sure about the looks part but they've definitely got the hooks down to a tee. After one listen you WILL be singing "you'll never know friends like these" for the rest of the day.

Deadmau5 ft Rob Swire: Ghosts 'N' stuff
Rob Swire being one of the guys from Pendulum. I'm gonna say I am a fan of Deadmau5 and I'm not a fan of Pendulum but without Rob on this tune it would definitely be a pretty pointless listen. Although I think this could easily be mistaken for Pendulum taking a different direction, I don't feel much Deadmau5 within it. The video was not what I was expecting.

Regaining Unconsciousness



First they put away the dealers,


Then they put away the prostitutes,

Then they shooed away the bums,


And they beat and bashed the queers,


Turned away asylum seekers,


Fed us suspicions and fears.




We didn't raise our voice,

We didn't make a fuss.


It's funny, there was no one left to notice


When they came for us.



-NOFX.
