In other news, I have found the most awesome online programme ever. It's called Spotify.
Like everybody's neighbours kid, most people are stupid and download music illegally, despite insisting that they "love music". Well, if illegal, streaming quality MP3's float your boat, you're probably adopted and your parents don't love you.
I love how people will have no problem spending £130 on an MP3 player but actually paying to put the fucking media ON them is such an effort.
BUT! This spotify programme is like a massive playlist, instead of downloading the songs and commiting a henious act, ommm. You can just listen to whatever you want, whenever you want. Just type in an artist and a bucket load of good sounding records appear. And it's all legal so Lars Ulrich can buy another bunch of shit paintings!

I should be getting paid by these people.
Sarah wanted a mention, so hiyur!
Go check out Minus The Bear. All you kids that dress like your grandma should lap this shit up!

Oh Hai!
Well hola, children.
It's been more than half a year since i've written in this, but an idea that Broderick put onto our Myspace the other day made me want to start writing (but more than likely complaining) about shit.
As mentioned in my first post all that time ago, I said that I made a CD every month of the 10 tracks that i'm totally loving at that point in time, well, I still do that, I still have a collection of 7 or 8 mixed cd's tucked away at the bottom of my record collection.
If any of them take your fancy, check them out on the 'tube or take the predictable route and download a shoppy MP3 version of them. If any of you guys actually read this, tell me some songs that you're buzzing off lately, and i'll check them out, fo sho. So, without further ado, here are the tracks.
1. BLUR - No Distance Left To Run.
I don't listen to Blur often, although back in the day I always preferred them over Oasis (who should have stopped after Morning Glory) I never bought one of their records. However, since acquiring their greatest hits after they decided to re-group, this song stuck out like a sore thumb. Go watch the video, they all sleep in it and stuff.
2. Prince & The Revolution - Pop Life.
Prince is my new favourite artist, sure, he's tiny, one hell of a prima donna and a total tight arse for actually HIRING lawyers to take his videos down from Youtube. But they guy is just amazing. All of his big albums are in Zavvi for £7, go and get some. Seriously, put down that copy of Only By The Night, buy Around The World In A Day and listen to this little gem.
3. Say Anything - Died A Jew.
I have a serious penchant for unhappy Yanks moaning about stuff, and Max Bemis is the king of it. After finally getting ahold of In Defense of the Genre, the bass line in this song alone is worth the £9 I spent on it. Don't listen if you're a Christian though, you'll probably gerrin' a huff.
4. Paramore - My Heart.
Fuck Riot. It's a great album and all but their first effort has such a cute charm to it that I find irresistable, this is their best song. Nuff Said.
5. Michael Jackson - Baby Be Mine.
Far and away my favourite Michael Jackson song. "Thriller" is still the greatest pop record ever, the fucking thing sold a million copies in a WEEK, and the session musicians used on the record are all top shelf (Human Nature was practically written by Toto) something pop music nowadays is seriously lacking. Sure, I prefer "Bad" and I listen to "Dangerous" more than both. But, it's fucking "Thriller"!!1?!. It's like, £4 in HMV. Why don't you do yourself a favour and buy it? Get "Off The Wall" whilst you're there too.
6. Beach Boys - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times.
"Pet Sounds" has fast become one of my favourite albums ever, so much so Brian Wilson was my display picture on Facebook for a while, leading to some dopy indie girl thinking it was me before saying I had a rubbish taste in music. Epic loss.com. Anyway, although God Only Knows is clearly the greatest song on the record, this one is second best. Amy, listen to it :P.
7. Mute Math - Noticed.
I'm new to this band. Sure, the singer sounds like Sting, and he plays a friggin Keytar. But this song is undeniably awesome. And they're actually on an Indie label so you Indie kids can legitimately listen to them without looking like you're selling out! Huzzah!
8. Taking Back Sunday - Brooklyn.
Why this wasn't included on "Louder Now" goes beyond me, it's on their Myspace, go check it out.
9. Saosin - Love Maker.
Shit title, Cove sounds rough as toast, but this is the highlight song from their limited edition "Grey EP" that came out last year. Check out their debut album if you're into the post-hardcore, "Receiving end of Sirens" kind of shit. Killer drumming too.
10. Death Cab - What Sarah Said.
I thought Death Cab was one of those bands that only cool, hip indie kids listened to. But since they jumped to major label status and they're now technically a pop act, I thought why the fuck not. Bought "Narrow Stairs", loved it. Heard "Plans", and thought it was even better, with this song being its highlight. Fuck Kings of Leon, these guys are doing modern alternative rock better than anyone, and although most of "Plans" isn't too crunchy, I can't stress how good these guys are.
That's it for now, I'll get back in to my usual routine of ripping people a new one soon enough. So, check these songs out if you like. And don't forget to give me some recommendations too!
That's how, for now.
