Woah...it's been over a month since my last blog which was about music!
GUESS WHAT? This one is about music too! :)
Alright so, In my own honest opinion, 2009 hasn't been the best year for music (I loved 2006, if I'm honest...I remember it being good!) Anyway, there are exceptions! The only music I really don't go near is RnB, Rap, Dance and slutty singers like Lily Allen but I've got to admit....THIS YEAR I'VE GOT INTO ALL OF IT (Only a little bit) But still!
SONG'S I WOULDN'T NORMALLY GO NEAR BUT I DID:
Lily Allen- The Fear
It was too catchy to not get hooked on, even though I think the girl is a right old idiot, she can produce an alright song!
Black Eyed Peas- Boom Boom Pow/I Gotta Feeling
The Black Eyed Peas have been a band I've loved to hate for a few solid years now, but this year they have produced two solid, catchy singles! I Gotta Feeling is just awesome!
Dizzee Rascal- Bonkers
SOME PEOPLE THINK I'M BONKERS BUT I JUST THINK I'M FREE! 'nuff said.
Calvin Harris- I'm Not Alone
He is an absolute dreadful singer but his mixing is incredible! It really is, and this song is a filler!
Cascada- Evacuate The Dancefloor
I've hated Cascada but I have had this song in my head for days!
SONGS/ARTISTS I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS YEAR:
Bon Iver
If you havn't heard this guys album, 'For Emma, Forever Ago'- GO OUT AND GET IT NOW! The background story is emmense! I bet you have heard it! The guy was ill and lived in isolation in a log cabbin for months after a split from a relationship aswell. He came back with a cracker of an album and it really does pull at your heartstrings. He also released the EP, 'Blood Bank' in January which was another solid release. I can't wait to hear more!
Radiohead
Now, I've heard of Radiohead, obviously but I have had to admit I hadn't really listened to much of their music. I knew Creep, which I like but now I have discovered amazing songs like High and Dry and Paranoid Android.
Train- Drops Of Jupiter
It might be tight to call the band a one-hit wonder but- they are! But that one-hit is one hell of a hit. Drops of Jupiter is possiblly one of the greatest songs I have ever heard and I have only started getting into it!
Green Day
I knew their hits but now I have been listening back to alot of their albums and I am impressed!
MY FAVE ALBUMS OF THE YEAR SO FAR (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)
Manic Street Preachers- Journal For Plague Lovers
When I was bored I gave it a little listen on Spotify and instantly liked it, it's not very often that happens to me on a first listen!
Paolo Nutini- Sunny Side Up
Lots of people don't like this album but I love it! I loved his first album and I think this second offering is just as good although it is so different! Change is good!
Kasabian- The West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
Now I liked Kasabian but now I love them! This is definetely their best album and it deserves to win the Mercury Music prize!
Green Day- 21st Century Breakdown
Very cool! Every song I like. It's wierd, I don't really find any amazing but I like every song, it's good!
Ben's Brother- Battling Giants
One of my fave bands give an amazing second album! As good as their first! REALLY GREAT!
MY FAVE SONGS OF THE YEAR SO FAR (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)
Kasabian- Fire
It's such an awesome song! Kasabian's best, It blew me away when I first heard it!
The All-American Rejects- I Wanna
Sure to be a classic!
James Morrison- Broken Strings
That was this year, right? Anyway this song is an absolute beast!!
Arctic Monkeys- Crying Lightning
I have been listening to this non-stop since I first heard it! AWESOME!
The Killers- A Dustland Fairytale
Soooooooooooo Epic! This song is going to be a Killer classic! Haha! See what I did there?
Paolo Nutini- Candy
This set the mood for his new album- At least you thought it would! The albums all ska-reggae, this is just a chill-out tune! I love it all!
Just Jack- Embers
Gutted that It got nowhere in the charts but it's an awesome song!
Doves- Kingdom Of Rust
Never heard Doves before this, but this is brilliant!
BIG DISSAPOINTMENTS FOR ME THIS YEAR!
Franz Ferdinand- Tonight:Franz Ferdinand
After god knows how many years us Franz Ferdinanders were waiting for a new album, and they give us this very average album. I really like Ullysess and No You Girls is catchy, but the others are just- average!
MIKA- We Are Golden and Songs For Sorrow EP
Now MIKA was a bit of a guilty pleasure for me and when I heard he had new stuff out, I listened, and am very VERY dissapointed. Especially his new song, We Are Golden, it's pretty lacklustre.
Blur not releasing any new music!
Stupid money-making scum!
Michael Jacksons death!
The music world lost a true legend!
WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR!
Muse's new album!
Arctic Monkey's new album!
I want to at least hear MIKA's new album!
Athlete's new album!
Jet's new album!
Blink 182's new album!
MUSIC WHICH SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM ME!
LADY GAGA
LA ROUX
JLS
Thanks Chuck!
