New stuff

Yes, well, the format and general update-ness of this blog is still in a complete mess, but iv just been so busy and so tired lately its hard! I finish 'full-time' work this sunday though, when i revert down to Saturdays and Sundays, which, despite meaning i'll be broke soon after, means i'll have muchly more free time if only for a few weeks while i get myself sorted with something else.
Anyway, to tide things over (again) i decided to throw a few songs i've more recently found that i really like. So yea, lets go on with it....

# I Write Sins Not Tragedies - Panic! At the Disco

A few weeks back now, my copy of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (And no i did NOT pay that ridiculous price, i got it for like £15 including first class post, yay!) and i've become even more addicted to the album now i own it physically. The whole thing rocks, and i've litsened to it countless times, we're talking when i first got it like 5 times a day?! Which for me anyway is very unusual.
The song you're treated with today is definately one of my current favourites, and just as importantly is their opening single for the album. Both come out sometime in Feburary i do believe, although Radio 1 have already begun playing it. YAY! I'm not a massive radio fan but it's nice to stay "connected" on a regular basis, and, yes. Heh. Radio 1 have alsob egun playing Sugar, We're Goin' Down as it's finally being released as a single early this year. But back to Panic! You have to buy this album. You will love this album. That is all...


# I Want to Hear What You Have Got to Say - The Subways

As heard on the OC apparently? Not that i recall it. Not that i would.... Heh. I'll get round to rewatching it soon! Anyway, this song seems to have sprung up all over the place of late and made The Subways a household name (at least in small Indie student residences/flats/dumps). Just listen to it a couple of times. It grows disturbingly quickly. All together now.... Another day is here and i am still alive...


# Ever After You (live) - The Gabe Dixon Band

Ever get annoyed when random bands add you as friends on Myspace? Well, as most people do i'm sure, as long as i'm not grumpy, i'll listen to their songs and if they're any good, add them! Well, with THIS band, i kinda fell in love insanely quickly. If you like Gavin DeGraw you WILL like mr Dixon. The song i've picked is deinfately my favourite so far. It's all about, well, really liking someone, and not being able to do much about it? Which, shockingly, is my perfect kinda song when done well. It comes from this live album which can be purchased via amazon (and will be as soon as i can afford it!) but you can also download it and many other songs (including all of their cd released songs) for free at their website which just made me love them even more. You know what i get like with any band that gives me 'free' mp3s! So yes, its more reason to order their albums :D Hopefully you'll like the band too and maybe consider doing the same!


# Will The Violins Be Playing? - Last Days of April

Until the other day the only song i had ever heard by this band was Aspirins and Alcohol which i absolutely *love*, so having finally got round to ordering the cd from Deep Elm Records, i eagerly popped it into my cd player. Now, from first listen i knew it'd be a grower instead of an instant love, but there were some really good lyrics in there, and i loved a line from this song especially, which is why it's here today.
"As if me taking all the blame would make you feel much better now"


Enjoy =)

  1. Panic! at the Disco are supporting Fall Out Boy on their tour this year. They're playing Nottingham (like *really* close to here) on my birthday. Argh dammit for being sold out...and me being poor and such.
    Anyway, good work on the blog! Look forward to the next installment.
