The one after the third.

So here I am. Once again. Writing this blog. Today is a Wednesday, so I’ve been to my work experience. Edited more videos, particularly one named LAMPS. Who knew you could create a half an hour video, on types… of… lamps? It was less amusing than watching which was faster – grass growing or paint drying. Either way, I had a good day, fuelled with chocolate caramel shortbread and the antics of the office.

Two things I have recently realised – I have no happy music, and I can be out smarted by the tiniest antifan. Now, first view of this statement, I assume you are thinking, what on earth. But please, let me explain. Currently, I am trying to find music to cheer a close friend up, and scanning through my media player – I can find nothing, other than some terrible R n B, and the occasional optimistic song. Clearly, this isn’t good, right? You’d think, just because my name is in ‘that’ word, it would be the right word to describe me? Wrong.

Now for that second part of the statement. My first blog, says I love Radiohead. And apparently I wrote it wrong? This person shall be given the alias of Blonde, who was a previous Reading attendant, who probably didn’t even see Radiohead? I fear this rant is going to go on for some time, so I might stop… nah… I wasn’t very bothered about Reading other than Radiohead, Deftones, Placebo (seeing them in less than a month anyway…) and the odd band. But every year, the BBC have the responsibility to televise, IN FULL, the main acts on the main stage. Yes, we saw that from Arctic Monkeys, whose Nick Cave cover was very impressive, as well as majority of their set. We got the full set from Kings Of Leon, who were being arrogant prats as per usual. And then Radiohead. I waited eagerly for the night to arrive, and out of the 27 (?) tracks played on the night, 9 were broadcasted.

Now, c’mon. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I think I speak for all Radiohead fans when I say, what the bloody hell.

I felt like I’ve let off alot of steam after that. Now I think I’ll just listen to my Burial & Four Tet in peace, whilst constructing my next Manor setlist. Good night.

PS: I do apologise for no music review this time, but I used most of my energy on ranting. It’s taken alot out of me. PSS: I hope the alias is recognisable to that someone. PSSS: Grrr.

The one after the second.

I apologise to everyone that’s been recently reading my blog, that I haven’t been able to update this immediately the day after the previous, as I have out and about. I experienced the Great Lines fireworks display yesterday for the first time… ever. To be quite honest, it was meek. 20 minutes of fireworks and half of hour of a pitiful flame. Despite this, it got me out of the house and potentially made my stomach smaller through the use of exercise. However now thinking this, I did have a meatball marinara on the way home. Damn.

Currently sitting in my room with my feet up on the desk, I glare at the newspaper cutout of last year’s Glastonbury photograph glued with bluetack. How sad. I didn’t even go last year. 2010 however, I’ve got my ticket. Have you?

As well as a music review today, a film mention would also suffice. Yesterday I managed to watch about an hour and a half of Gods And Monsters, before my playstation decided to just give in doing its primary, and only purpose. Illustrating the life of James Whale, legendary director and father of Frankenstein, it captures his eccentric life, also starring Brendan Fraser and Lynn Redgrave. James Whale is played by Oscar nominated Sir Ian McKellen. From what I saw of the film, I thought it was very good – especially sections where you had behind the scenes shots of the making of The Bride Of Frankenstein. I will give a rating when I manage to watch the entire film later on this evening.

Music review – even though being released on CD only recently, it was leaked on the Internet, allowing many fans to listen before it hit the stores. Brand New’s Daisy. Their fourth album, it explores their rock inspirations once more, which slowly became apparent in The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. The first track of the album, Vices, is most definitely a shocker - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mc6JKM_YkQ ; you will see what I mean. It is a very good album, however their previous releases are definitely better. I myself being a big fan of Brand New, and have purchased a ticket for their only UK gig this year at Wembley Arena, I would love to see how they will perform this album live. Jesse Lacey is a fantastic lyricist – I will end with some of my most favourite lyrics from one of my favourite songs, Seventy Times Seven.

"So, is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with.
'Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish.
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids.
So have another drink and drive yourself home.
I hope there's ice on all the roads.
So you think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
and again when your head goes through the windshield."

The one after the first.

So here I am once again, sitting in my armchair with the fire on, about to have a glass of mulled wine. Gosh, it feels like Christmas already. I’m just expecting the Coca Cola advert to come on now. Did you know… the original Santa wore green clothing? The only reason he now wears red clothing is because of the Coca Cola branding. Hmm.

Anyway, that aside, I feel it’s appropiate to start my legacy of album reviews. For the Extended Project, I’ve been revising the Shoegaze genre. I’ve been researching for about a week, but I’m enjoying it alot. An album I cannot stop listening to, is Out Of the Angeles, by Amusement Parks On Fire.

I heard a track from this album on groovyjim’s independant radiostation on LIVE365.com, and I fell in love. If you want a taster of this album, use this link – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCUBC1u9Qq0. It almost sounds like My Bloody Valentine’s and Silversun Pickups’s superbaby. It’s one of those albums you can listen to when you’re going through a thoughtful phase. You’ll see what I mean.

Seeing Placebo in about a month’s time. The Horrors and Silversun Pickups supporting. Going to be amazing. Speaking of The Horrors, have you heard Whole New Way? If you like Joy Division, you’ll love that.

This has to be done.

The one I will label Mr K____ has introduced us to this blogging world, and already I am intrigued. There are so many buttons, and switches…

My current location is within MidKent College, whereby we are slowly discovering the failure of the class. Apparently, some people are incapable of turning on microphones on HD Cameras. However, I’m surprised I did - I couldn’t even find the menu button. Eitherway, this is quite interesting, writing my every thought onto a website.

 Either way, I love RAD IO HE_AD. _________________.

Now I have had an overview of the site, (that little line indicating an editing process) I have decided what I will try to bring to this blog. As well as updating you all on my life, I want to try bringing information about the latest albums I listen to and my ratings of them. Maybe even get feedback from you lovely people, and expand my muscial horizons. Ta very much.
