I'm always looking for new music, as this is something of high interest to me.
I'm also happy to recommend music to people aswell, as it feels good inside.
As I'm typing this, I'm listening to one of my new albums of the week; Radio 1's Live Lounge- Volume 4.
Dizzee Rascal is currently booming through my headphones with 'Bonkers'. True to it's name, it really is bonkers. He's decided to cover his own song in a Bluegrass style with him rapping over the top. WHAT?! That really is a mental thing to do, as they are completely opposite genres of music. For those who are unsure of what Bluegrass music is; here's a link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEAiBHG5BlMA Bluegrass version of Eric Clapton's 'Layla'. Could argue it's as good as the original; that's only due to the fact the original gets on my nerves.
All in all, the Live Lounge's are generally good compilations of the 'current' artists in the industry and are kind of worth the money they charge.
If anyone would like to suggest some albums or artists to me, they're more than welcome. Infact, I'll welcome you with open arms. Well...cyber-open arms...(I say this as if people actually read my blog...)
I don't often watch the X Factor; when I do it's because it's forced upon the household. There has been a lot of fuss and disagreement over the contestants 'John and Edward'. At first, I thought it was quite comical that they were getting through when they were shit. It's now turned into a bit of a piss take, as contestants who can actually sing are getting kicked out due to the majority of the public who vote being pikeys, who're still voting for JEDWARD.
C'mon guys, the fun is over now. If these pricks win, you're expected to go out and buy their album and see the little shits on tour. Think about it...
In addition; Nandos now have little handy cocktail sticks for your 'corn-on-the-cob'. Wahey! Say bye-bye to buttery fingers and hello to kids stabbing their eyes out with them.
