Albums.

Posted on by

I couldn’t think of a decent title for this post, so “Albums” will just have to do!

So, I’m going to assume that most of you have had your heart metaphorially broken and also again, metaphorically, had your worl come to an end. You know the feeling. You do dumb shit to adjust to the changes. You have a messed up sleep patterns nd food, amongst other things repulses you.

To adjust to all this, this year I went to a stupid amount of gigs and bought a load of albums that quite possible, saved my ass.

So these albums came out this year and were a bit of a crutch to me:

La Roux- La Roux. This album is about one person, said Elly Jackson. Pretty obvious too. Every song pretty much sums everything up. I don’t need to say anymore.

Florence + The Machine- Lungs. I don’t need to tell you just how much this album means to me. You already know. When I went to see her live in May, she said Hurricane Drunk is about an ex and other stuff. Pretty much hit me. Hard. As did Cosmic Love, that breaks me every time. Beautiful song.

Spinnerette-Spinnerette. Not the whole album, but just two songs- Driving Song and Baptized By Fire. ’nuff said.

Golden Silvers-True Romance. Amazing album. Makes all the crap seem insignificant..even if it isn’t. Beautiful album. Brilliant live.

The Dead Weather-Horehound. Agressive and sexy. No more to say!

Metric-Fantasies. I think Blindness changed everything. I spoke to Emily about this one track. I cannot put it into words. Excellent album.

Camera Obscura-My Maudlin Career. This album is seriously underrated. Album of the year? Top 5 place!

The Horrors-Primary Colours. Better than Strange House. Fascinating band.

Morrissey-Years Of Refusal. I do not need to tell you just how extrodinary Morrissey is.

Doll & The Kicks-Doll & The Kicks. Again, another brilliant live band. If You Care made me cry when I saw them live. Can easily see why Moz loves them.

The Enemy-Music For The People. Astoundingly good.

Finally…this one album came out a long long time ago. This album is one album I listen to every day. I’ve never got bored of it. It is…..

Is This It by The Strokes. And tomorrow, I shall be getting “Is This It” tattooed on my wrist. I love this album so much! Timeless. Utterly timeless.

I suppose there was no real point to this post and I’ve probably missed out a few albums. My memory is not my strongest point 😉

Doll And The Kicks.

Apart from being angry at the elections (the anger will never go), I am also a bit pissed off that the amazing Doll And The Kicks have not been signed.

Bands like Millionaires have a record deal (3 sluts singing about money…toss!) and have ZERO talent.
Is it because they’re American, and Americans will buy anything?! Who knows.
Anyway.

I have decided that if Doll And The Kicks do not get signed by the end of the year, I am going to start my own lable up and sign them myself. Fuck..I said this about Florence And The Machine, and she got signed a few months later (someone give me a job,thanks!)
Morrissey is never wrong, and he currently has the greatest support band on tour with them. Oh fuck that, he has the greatest band in Britain on tour with him.
I saw them in Stirling and I can honestly say that EVERYONE loved them, and everyone that’s been to one of Moz’s recent dates has fallen in love with Doll And The Kicks.

Doll(she’s beautiful and lovely and has an amazing stage presence. Fabolous mover) signed my copy of the album, and I reckon in a few years time it’ll be worth more than £8 (best £8 I have ever spent! I sacrificed buying TWO Morrissey t-shirts for that CD…totally worth it!)

So yes…if they don’t get signed- I am starting my own label. I don’t care if I have to sell my stuff or make my friends become prostitutes(I will…oh I will! ;])
They NEED to be signed.

Doll And The Kicks- Roll Up The Red Carpet.

CLICK HERE TO BUY THE MARVELLOUS ALBUM BY DOLL AND THE KICKS!!!! 🙂   It’s only £5.99!!!!

If you buy the album…I will give you a hug and a beverage of your choice. Or something.

Finally! A video to the new Morrissey track. It’s a bloody good video. Why? Well, it has 2 cute dogs, Morrissey looking good (as usual) and his drummer seems to fly over his drumkit (around 2.13)

I’m pretty sure Years Of Refusal will pick up where Ringleader Of The Tormentors left off.

Enjoy 🙂

I’m babysitting our hamster. He’s called Len. He’s asleep with his face hanging out of his house we got him. I suppose his arse is hanging out the other side. He’s a cute sod.

Anyway, as much as I’d like to go into detail about our lovely Len- I’m going to write about something not so lovely. Reality TV.

Making people famous overnight with no sense of hardwork or whatever you want to call it. Experience? I won’t lie, I do watch X-Factor, purely for comedy value. It should be a comedy, really should. Shall we put bets on how long the winner’s “career” will last? I thought 18 months (if that) was the maximum? At least Will Young has a degree. What happens to those who don’t succeed? They seem to put their life on hold or in the hands of 2 bints (Simon Cowell is a bit funny, he’s not a bint. Cheryl Cole is alright, but she makes no sense when she speaks. Attractive though, and I do like a bit of Girls Aloud)

Is American Idol worse? Idol? Idle.

Who’s career lasts longer, an American Idol winner or X-Factor winner? And what the hell is the “x-factor?” I am a bit of a cynic with things like this, and most things. I’ve been playing Len (our hamster) New York Dolls and Morrissey this afternoon. He’s still asleep. If he was awake and climbing furiously, I’d assume he hated what I was playing and was trying to escape his cage in order to pounce on the laptop and play something to his taste. But he hasn’t.

Yes there are some good ones on these shitty programmes but to be honest, people are still buying Razorlight and Keane records. I guess we’ll never have in depth records topping the chart or have intelligent people are role models. To be honest, intelligent people wouldn’t do a daft thing as to strive to be a role model to today’s society.
