Flo stuff.

Posted on by

So, today someone from some website decided to write what can only be labelled as a “nasty” article about Florence + The Machine. I, and others are fully aware that not everyone will like her. That’s the beauty of free will and all that shit. However, this excuse for an article is just cruel and rather vicious. If you’re going to have a go at a MUSICIAN why don’t you slag off their MUSIC rather than the person? It just makes you look like a twat, quite frankly, when all you can do is write about the person not the music.

If anyone actually reads this and wants to see this awfully written article, then here’s the link : Sorry excuse for music journalism?!

What pisses me off is, not because it’s about Florence, is when people slag others off just to look “cool.” You don’t. You come across as a prentious twat. If I had to write about a musician I didn’t like, I’d do it in a non-harsh way and I would NOT lay into them personally.

Anyway, why take notice of some jumped up “music journalist” when you can watch something truly powerful and beautiful!

Splitting Up.

Posted on by

So Mika Miko have split up. This saddens me because I loved them. A LOT. Such a shame when bands you love, that are tallented,call it a day.

This has led me onto listening to a band that from the first time I listened to them, I fell totally in love and played their debut album to death during my first year of university (I feel old now!)

A year ago exactly, The Long Blondes split up. I’m pretty sure I shouted various profanities as the computer screen and cried a little bit. Playing both albums on rpeat for a week. I felt like I lost a band that..could say what I couldn’t. That felt what I felt without me feeling alone. I know, I know, this makes me sound stupid and weird. But I’m guessing you probably have a band that mean the world to you, and you feel the same way about them like I did (and still do) towards The Long Blondes.

One thing that gets to me is that I never saw them live. I met them (bar Kate Jackson, she was sick) and Screech Powers was infront of me on the train from Birmingham to Manchester the day I met them in Manchester. I also skipped a lecture to be at the signing. I did this a lot, I’d say I don’t condone such behaviour, but I really do.

The Long Blondes, although they werem’t around that long, they gave us two fantastic albums. And yes, Kate Jackson is beautiful, there I said it. Dorian wrote some witty,clever lines that reminded me of Morrissey, which is probably why I love The Long Blondes dearly.

Dear The Long Blondes, my record collection seems quite dull without you. Please get back together and/or Kate, release some solo stuff you’ve been promising us!
