[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Bit of Deadmaus on the go this evening.  I'm tired and need the perk up.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

My current playlists includes Imagine Dragons, Chvrches, You Me At Six, Idlewild, Tiesto, Big Country, early Oasis, Hurricane #1, John O'Callaghan, early Silverchair and The Offspring (Ixnay and before - anything after that is pish).

 

Eclectic.

This is worse than the "can stewards feel you up?" discussion.

 

You still a steward?

Bastille are tipped to be huge this year.

 

Couple of absolutely tremendous songs but the rest is generic tripe. Could be hit or miss.

 

For anyone who likes genuine talent, check out Mike Masse on YouTube. Sings in a pizza shop but some of his cover versions are unbelievably good. His versions of Africa by Toto and No Rain by Blind Melon are pretty special. I reckon he'd be huge if he didn't look like Bill Bailey.

I've been listening to Alex Winston quite a bit lately. Not really my cup of tea usually - maybe I'm just getting old.

 

Oh, and a classic album from my old CD collection:

 

Silverchair - Frogstomp

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Hurts - Better Than Love

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Being subjected to Tom Waites new album by a colleague. Good lord, it is absolutely dreadful.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Mon The Twang.

[/wrecked]

 

I actually ended up drinking with them after their gig at the Barrowlands in 2007. What a night that was.

 

Spending a worrying amount of time just now listening to Nero and Skrillex.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

My desk fan.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Sick Puppies - You're Going Down

Adema - Unstable

Amity Lane - Drown You Out

 

I'm in that kind of mood.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

The Naked and Famous - Punching in a Dream

 

This band are another Hadouken - they either make absolute classics or absolute shite.... there is no middle ground.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

I've still not got round to getting tickets for Feb! Seen them twice before and they were both brilliant nights.

 

Standouts for me on this album are definitely Bigger Than Us, Strangers, The Power & The Glory, and Bad Love. All excellent.

 

That's currently stuck in my head thanks to NFS Hot Pursuit. That game's like watching an episode of Top Gear that Zane Lowe's picked the soundtrack for.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Yeah but I don't get it. Apart from maybe two lines in the song it doesn't really fit.

 

Exactly! If you listen to it, it's defo about a burd. Fck it, it's not about drugs - screw you music press and your need to dig for hidden meanings that aren't there. Cants. I mean there's a line saying "she grew up well and she grew up right, with those Indiana boys and those Indiana nights". How is that not about a girl?

 

Happy birthday by the way young chow.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Tom Petty - Mary Jane's Last Dance

 

You know, it took someone else to tell me that song was about drugs - I always thought it was about a burd called Mary Jane.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

White Lies - Ritual.

 

I read a review of this new album in yesterdays Scotland on Sunday which gave it 1/5 and slaughtered it, however it sounded ok on the first listen.

 

Never take any heed of music reviews myself. It's such a personal thing that I really don't see the point of listening to what someone I've never met thinks of it.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Nine Days - Absolutely

 

This feeking song has been stuck in my head for about a month. Good though.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Glass Tiger - My Town

 

Cheesy 80s nonsense but so fck, I love it!

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Meatloaf?! You owe it to the world to ruin this ignoramus. People like him are the reason the world is rife with rampant stupidity - no decent person should rest until these fools are unmasked and eliminated.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

You should end him. He brought it on himself.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Godsmack - I F****** Hate You

 

That title reminds me of one of my favourite songs of all time....

 

Puddle of Mudd - She F**king Hates Me

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Yeah it was. But everything up until then was just brilliant. I really can't pick a favourite album but Alive or Just Breathing when performed by Howard Jones probably shades it. I really, really need to see them live.

 

Howard Jones? That mullet toting dude from the 80s? Wow, he's changed musical direction these days...

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

12 Stones - Broken

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Three Doors Down - Story of a Girl

 

Not actually listening to it and not even that big a fan of it but for some reason it's been going round in my head for about a week.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Boozie! Trust Company are bringing out a new album, didn't even know they were still kicking about!

 

They've got a new single out, Heart In My Hands. I'm gonna give it a wee listen later on and see if it's up to much.

 

Seriously? Class! They broke up a few years ago but even Amity Lane never got anywhere near their standards. Nice one!

 

Anyho, currently got on Lazee ft. Dead by April - Stronger

 

Tune.

[What Are You Listening To At The Moment?]

Kansas - Carry On My Wayward Son

 

I was roundly mocked by my uncultured mates when I had that as my ringtone a while ago. Heathens.

 

Anyway, not right now, but my favourite beer tune of the moment is...

 

Chiddy Bang - Opposite of Adults

 

Love it and the video's cracking.
