Well fellow Bloggers, what can I say, one of my all time favourite bands has let me down and I am heartbroken!
I hadBlinks new album on pre order the second I caught wind of it. It came and as excited as I was I must admit, I have only now found time to listen to it.
I put it on in my car travelling home tonight and all I can say is it was the worst part of my drive.
I love Blink I have been a devoted fan since I was 14 and I have every album they have ever made and I think I will stick to listening to them.
This album is so monotone and dull. I have to say when I first heard Heart's all gone I was excited, it is a cracking tune but when blended in with the rest of the album, it felt like I was listening to one seriously long, depressing song.
I was quite scared tonight on the M60. I genuinely started dropping to sleep a few times, considering how I feel it is safe to say this album was not the right match for this mood and Blink is always the right choice.
So Hearts all gone.. great song as long as it is listened to on shuffle. It is sad to say that my driving abilities and my attention span perked back up again when I put my Ipod on shuffle and Britney Spears came on.
I have no doubt that when I have listened to these songs moderately and definitely not together I shall be telling you how great and spine tingling one or two of them are, but until then I leave you readers, a disappointed soul.
I've recently not been feeling the Christmas spirit all that much but TODAY I AM.
I guess it's because I started the day with my (immature) mother diving onto my bed and waking my step sister and myself UP singing HO HO HO Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
Santa's been.
Sadly now Santa has been and gone and the day is coming to an end and I would love today's Christmas to last forever.
In the fantastic words of Wizzard. ( Potentially my fav xmas song but as you know from previous posts, it's a tough one to call.) I wish it could be Christmas EVERYDAYYYYY!
Despite not having my young cousins around to make it feel more Christmassy (because lets face it, it's always better with Kids around) It has been a cracking day and all my family have got on. SHOCK!!!!
The joyful time of year has brought us all together.
Chocolate for breaky, Xmas feast then choccy for TEA. What is there to complain about, Yes I'm exhausted but it is so worth it.
Now to the pub!!!
But the spirit of Christmas is not yet over, the next few weeks will consist of re-discovering gifts from today and SALES :) shopping shopping shopping, my MOST favourite thing to do.
And with that, I leave you with this delightful Coldplay - Christmas lights song.
Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy your big bellies, spending and pressies.!!
I love the Killers, I'd definitely call my self quite a big fan. I have about fifty Killers songs clogging up my ITunes and always welcome their songs on shuffle.
So it's a new day and I'm still miserable. I just don't feel at home, at home any more if that makes any sense. It's just boring. Everyone is different, friends, family etc... I've definitely put Pontefract behind me now. I hate Stoke but I love it and I miss my independence and housemates.
Nevertheless, I have Mr. Brightside in my head today, a song that keeps me cheery. I'm excited to write about it actually because technically, whether you think it or not it is one of the BIGGEST tunes of the 21st Century. That's not just my opinion either.
UK radio stations Absolute radio and XFM named it "song of the decade".
It was also revealed in April 2010 by Last.Fm that it was the most listened to track since the launch of online music services.
It has also been voted number 9 in the greatest guitar riffs of the 21st century by Total Guitar Magazine.
This song just takes me back to great nights out. You can guarantee that you will hear this song at some point on your night out. It is an old classic which will never get old.
The second it comes on you can just see everyone brighten up and start jumping up and down.
Especially in the club in my home town, BIG FELLAS. There are no words to describe Big Fella's all I can say is it's an experience everyone needs to have and unless you experience it yourself, you cannot be told.
This is always the last song they play as everyone is leaving. (Unless your in the room upstairs, then it's the Postman Pat theme tune.)
I couldn't help myself I had to pop it in. Don't ask me why they play it. It takes me back to my childhood when things were simple. Those were the days <3
Anyway, getting back on track. This song was the first song ever written By Brandon Flowers and David Keuning. It was on their Debut album Hot fuss which was released in 2004 although the song was originally made in 2001.
This song has pretty much always been on my playlist. Considering I was about 13 when the song was released this sounds about right. The Killers Albumwas one of the first I bought myself.
They are getting back together in May 2011 so I'm going to make it my mission to see them, I can almost guarantee they will play Mr.Brightside, they always have.
Did you know:
They have been up for 7Grammy's but have never won, but they have won a a Brit awards and two NME awards.
This song is one of the longest chart sitters in the 21st Century being in the top 100 for 71 weeks altogether. January 2010 was when it was last in, that's SIX years after it was first released.
They made 2 demo's of the song before they released it in 2003 and gave them out for free.
So, posts have been few and far between recently, but you all know how it is. Determination to get all those assignments which should have been done earlier out of the way. Packing to go home to a warm house and good food. I won't lie the blog has been the last thing on my mind.
I know, i'm terrible.
But today I have an earworm which has been floating between my ears for a few days now.
This earworm does conflict with this time of the year as its Christmas soon, but it's great.
Just Jack - Glory days.
This song reminds me of summer. Although it doesn't specifically mention the summer season but it came out in April 2006 and then stuck with me to be one of my summer tunes.
It only reached number 32 in the charts. This disappointed me as it was a real feel good song.
The video doesn't even come across summery but just the term Glory Days sounds summery and it always made me feel upbeat. Hope it does for you guys too.
Quick interesting fact: This song was released on his album Overtones and on that album is a collaboration with Kyle Minogue called I talk too much.
Although he isn't the most successful artist he has played at Glastonbury festival twice and V festival as well as many others.
