i took my babys breath beneath the chandlier of stars and atmosphere and watched her disappear..

(starting from the top: when harry met sally, 2 500 days of summer pictures and 2 juno pictures)

i like indie quirky films. theyre just what im into. i do like other films like i watched sex and the city the other day and i loved it but indie films are just what i like best. so anyway i bought nick and noras inifinite playlist because it looked really indie and it has michael cera in who is just such an amazing actor and absolutely gorgeous. anyway, look i'll put it bluntly, it was dreadful. everything about it was dreadful i mean even a dreadful chick flick like the holiday was a better film. so let me explain why:

• firstly it is set over one night. thats never a good idea with a film. the only film where it kind of worked was kidulthood but its very rare for it to work and well in this film it was their biggest mistake. because it was set over one night nothing much really happened coz how much can happen in a night? i mean look at a film like 500 days of summer, i dont want to give anything away in case you havent watched it but but that film is set over a year and a half and when harry met sally is set over like 20 years or something ridiculous like that but i love it like that. its just the way a good film needs to be set for it to work.


• some of the characters are just really annoying. michael cera is amazing as usual and there are these 3 gay guys who were really cute and funny but everyone else was really really annoying and like the main female character just cant act. its really irritating. it irritates me to say this but actually all the girls in this film are bad actresses and just so boring. i guess you cant do much with a character when its only set over one night but still they were really rubbish and hurt my eyes to watch.


• sorry to bring kidulthood up again its just the only other film i can think of thats also only set over a day. so yeah in kidulthood so much happens in that day. i dont want to give away the whole film but if youve watched the film youll understand (btw if you havent see it then check it out now, its so brilliantly written and really honest about what its like to be a teenager in east london) nick and noras infinite playlist was just boring. i wa waiting for something to happen in the long 90 minutes it lasted and honestly nothing happened. it was just dreadfully written.


• and lastly, i was looking forward to a good soundtrack running through the film, well i was very disappointed. as well as nothing happening in the film, the soundtrack was crap as well. and that was the last straw

so anyone wanna buy it off me?!!

save some face, you know youve only got one..

so rage is at no. 1!! i couldn't listen on sunday night but i was listening to the radio on monday morning and they said that rage against the machine is no. 1 and i just so excited coz i was hoping they would do it but deep down i knew joe would get it and by next year we would all forget the rage thing. well thankfully i was very wrong! killing in the name is just such an amazing song and compared to joes song, i mean joes song is just boring and doesnt even deserve to be in the top 10 but thats another story! im so excited about rage being at no. 1 im finishing every sentence with an exclamation mark! okay im stopping.

i have finally broken up from school although i am now supposed to get to some hard-core learning which is btw never gonna happen but we have been told this holiday should be treated as study leave and not a holiday. WTF?

my sister is at my dads in london so i have the computer to myself so forget hard-core learning, im gonna be doing hard-core blogging btw my form teacher did not use the actual words 'hard-core learning' shes like 60 although it would have been really funny if she would have!!

my current playlist is look after you by the fray, run by snowpatrol, i cant stay by the killers and ghosts and stuff by deadmau5. its a bit weird but it feels right for the winter. the snow just isnt stopping, it just reminds me of when we went in the winter to scotland and we would get stuck in all kinds of stuff like one day we were stuck in this snow blizzard, it was just crazy!

im waiting for the postman to resume coz i have a dvd that should be here by now but they haven't come for the past two days, its nick and noras infinite playlist and i cant wait to tell you about it when i finally get it!

okay im gonna leave you now coz run has just come on and i need to sing along! x

do you want the truth or something beautiful? just close your eyes and make believe...

i dunno whats inspiring me to use these pictures today. probably the cold. its snowing! it started on thursday and right now im looking out the window and big snowflakes are falling. theres something beautiful about snow falling but because its manchester and all good things have to come to an end, the snow will turn to slush by tomorrow or worse it will all freeze and the road will just turn into an ice rink. thats what happened last year and i was slipping and sliding to school!

so the title lyrics are from paloma faith. she did do you want the truth live for radio 1. check it out here. its really beautiful stuff and she does sound amazing live. also her outfit is so cool!

also florence did a cover of last christmas which is just immense last year and you can hear it until christmas but only if your in the uk so definitely check it out here if you can! i love florence! i think i should change the blog name to I LOVE FLORENCE!

loving all your comments at the moment and i will try and be better at checking at all your amazing blogs. i love the holidays although i wont really be relaxing since ive got exams in janurary but at least i can get some kind of lie in instead of waking up at 7:3o every morning. its such a killer in the winter which reminds me im currently loving the killers first album hot fuss. its so experimental and interesting and brandons voice is just so beautiful.

have a lovely day x

i run to the river and dive straight in, i pray that the water will drown out the din, but as the water fills my mouth, it couldnt wash the echoes out

i was just looking into my picture folder of musicians and i was just drawn to each of these pictures. let me explain (in numbers):

1. florence-i wasnt going to use a florence picture coz ive used all of them but then i saw this picture which i havent used before and its just so beautiful. i love the way florence performs. she also always paints her nails gorgeous dark shades which i get really excited about! is it weird to get excited about nails?! well kidsister (fourth picture) wrote a whole song about them so im not the only one!
2. eminem-i have been listening to the slim shady LP which i have to say is genius. i talked about it in the last post so if u wanna know more then scroll down!
3. how cute is this picture of la roux?!! shes one of the people who makes me proud to have short hair. she just looks soo cool and individual which is exactly what i want my short hair to look like but my hair is really shoulder length so its not quite the same!
4. kidsister-i just love her. shes just crazy and makes such great music. shes so upfront and has such great attitude. she just has so much energy, she really does remind me of pink even though her music is very different. im really having problems describing what i love about her shes just immense (i love that word!)
5. how great is bleached blonde hair on guys?! i dont like blond guys but bleached blonde is a whole other story. i loved eminem with his bleached hair. it just went with the whole 'dont give a fuck' attitude. mr hudsons bleached hair is a bit too neat for me. it looks like he touches it up every few weeks. i like it when it looks really in need of a touch up. sorry im so specific about these things. okay lets just forget blondes and keep to the black/brown haired boys!

so thats it for now and sorry if i dont check out your blogs but the school show is in less than a week so im soo stressed at the moment! x

look in my eyes, youre killing me, killing me all i wanted was you

doesnt that feel so long ago? i feel so far from summer right now wrapped up in my dressing gown thinking about getting up to make a cup of tea.

sorry about the depressing title lyric. i dunno what has come over me. its just to deep into winter to have a cute title lyric!

just listening to pink live. she was on the chris moyles show on radio 1 so im listening to it on the iplayer coz i was in school! love her! she has the coolest talking voice. her and kidsister both have the best american accents. i dont normally like an american accent but they should do a song together coz it would just be really beautiful.

my hair is looking amazing today! its just gone all curly with lots of body, it l0oks like something from a l'oreal advert!

at the moment im debating whether to buy a camera or a great pair of jeans. the camera would mean you could actually see me but a great pair of jeans would just be such a good investment. this pink concert is just immense check it out here about 2 and a half hours into the show (i dont think you can hear this if your not in the uk but im not sure)

okay i think im gonna do my nails now for the weekend. how about black this weekend?

love you all. have a great weekend and i cant wait to tell you what i actually end up buying! x

ps if you want to listen to some beautiful music then check out the big gig in the sky by pink floyd. just such a beautiful piece of music cya x

i dont give a fuck coz God sent me to piss the world off

so as you can see ive gone a bit grease crazy! me and my friend watched grease when we were like 11 and we both thought it was a disgusting film about dirty people (ive changed so much!) and really it is a disgusting film about dirty people but thats why i love it so much now! i watched it again a few months ago for the first time in ages and just totally fell in love with it and i just watched it again on saturday night and i just have such a big kunikie (how the hell do you spell his name?!) crush although i hear hes an alcoholic old man now (why do all good things come to an end?)

those songs are just constantly in my head now as well as eminems album slim shady LP which is just so genius. its 10 years old now but eminem just had so much energy and ideas and just general fucked up stories to tell. nowadays hes matured a lot which i think is a good thing for him as a person but not for his music. definitely check out the album but dont stick it on when youre mums in the room, all parents HATE eminem. he is really offensive but thats what i love about him. he isnt afraid of saying exactly what he thinks, he just gets all the shit out there. okay and now since listening the the album ive been swearing way more! btw title lyric is eminems (it cant really have been from grease could it!!)

so my nearest and dearest it is time to leave you.

love you forever and always (wow im getting so emotional!)

rebecca x

let your anger rise and we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn

it keeps raining and i wanna be caught in a moment like this but weirdly it never happens! like in films and theyre running in the rain coz love is stronger than anything.

okay im back to reality! (back to reality oh there goes gravity... thats an eminem lyric that i always sing when i say back to reality. i think its from lose yourself)

so i actually have a reason for writing this post!

i was reading a book questionnaire onlauras blog and i decided to adapt it to make it a music questionnaire so here goes:

(album titles in italics, song titles in bold)

last album i bought:

la rouxs self titled album and deadmau5 with random album title.

i love the deadmau5 album coz its just great to have on in the background. like great chill out music. la rouxs album is just immense. her voice is just beautiful and really powerful.

last album i got in the post:

i never order albums online coz its just to organized for me. i always buy albums as a sort of spur of the moment thing. theres something to do before im 16, buy an album online!

the first album ive listened to over and over:

im not sure what it was maybe snow patrol eyes open. yeah it probably was that. what a great album. thatsmy winter album. i always get really into it in the winter and then in the summer i just dont listen to it at all. i just has this snugly feel. does that make sense?!! its hard to explain a feeling but yes my review of the album: its snugly!

music everyone should listen to:

i think muse changed the way i listen to music so their music should pretty much be compulsory to listen to! maybe also eminem for his lyrics. its weird coz ive grown up with his music since i was like 8 or 9 ive been so into his music! i dont think i really appreciated his lyrics then, i just liked his music and his voice. even his voice though is offensive!

best place to listen to music:

i like having music on all the time but when i really want to listen to an album properly then ill curl up in bed and listen. it can always get a bit annoying listening to music with friends coz we all have such different tastes.

i was thinking about it the other day and i realised im so different to all my friends so i told one of my friends this and she was like 'rebecca no ones like you!' charming!

an album i just bought for the cover:

i never really randomly buy an album like i always only buy an album from an artist which i know loads about and really love the music so ive never bought an album for the cover but i do love the sams town cover.

scariest music ive ever heard:

hmm. im not sure about this. i like scary gothic music so it doesnt really scare me but i think bones by the killers could be quite scary . i was watching the music video with my cousin and she was like 'what the hell is this?!' i had to change it coz she just found it so weird but i love it! its one of the cleverest music videos(in my opinion!) check out my post about it here.

most romantic song:

i think it would have to be look after you by the fray just because of the gorgeous clana music video on youtube. i you type in 'clana look after you' then youll find it. i never even knew about smallvillle until i watched that and really smallville is just crap but that video is beautiful. also sweet disposition is beautiful (by the temper trap).

music that changed my life:

all music changes my life in some way but as i mentioned before it would have to be muse.

albums ive re listened to the most:

umm it would have to be eyes open or maybe hot fuss by the killers.

music i like that no one else seems to:

i always like those 2nd singles that everyone else hates. artists always come out with their 1st single and im like this is crap and then i hear the second single and im like GENIUS!

this happened with spaceman by the killers and i love robbie willians second single although ive forgotten the name but i can tell everyone doesnt like it!

music i dont like that everyone else seems to:

i think it would have to be stuff like basshunter and cascada. i just hate it! im not really big into N-DUBZ or the sort of RnB that jay sean does. i think a song has to have at least one of these things to be good:

1. an interesting melody
2. a beautiful voice singing
3. amazing lyrics

in my opinion muse do all three in almost any song they make but things like basshunter are just dreadful coz the lyrics are dreadful, the melody (if u could call it that) is boring as hell and basshunters voice is pretty average so i just find the music boring and mildly irritating.

can i just say that i like a lot of music. i like to listen to a massive range of music so there are actually only a small amount of artists that i really dont like because if i had to write a list of music i love it would be way way longer than the list of music i dont like!

number of albums i own:

i dunno. not as many as i would like but i never have enough money to buy albums so something like florences album i love, but i dont actually have the album i just listen to it on the internet.

must have music accessory:

that would have to be ears! and an open heart to absorb the music and let it move you and change you and teach you weird and wonderful things.

music destination i want to go to:

im desperate to go to glastonbury oh and i wouldnt mind going to ibiza. its like the capital of club music and im a sucker for a good remix!

top three favourite artists:

im gonna answer this question as top three artists i listen to most coz my top three artists change by the hour like now its chase and status, nirvana and muse!

1. the killers
2. florence and the machine

i cant think of a third one. it could be muse or la roux or pink or so many other artists so its my top two artists i listen to the most!

the reason i started a music blog:

once i started reading blogs i wanted to make one and since everyone has a fashion blog and at the time i didnt know any other music blogs so instead of writing about my fashion inspirations i decided to write about music although fashion sometimes creeps its way into my posts!

so that it from me with my longest post i think ever! this is longer than my coursework! have a great day x

I wanted freedom bound and restricted, i tried to give you up but im addicted

the title lyrics are there to explain my addiction to beautiful colourless photos since every post (bar the last one) seems just to be in black and white.

at the moment im just so busy. ive got loads of coursework and the school show is in less then three weeks! i do love doing the show but its dead stressful!

did i tell you about my new leggings? i dont think i did but anyway i got these new denim leggings(i hate the term jeggings!) and they are so comfy. normally i just wear ankle socks through the winter and occasionally tights but ive decided not to freeze this winter so its in with the legging and not really out with the ankle socks coz i still wear them!

i swear ive turned more boring than my grandma! so lets talk music! (in bullet points. i think better with dots)

• this band called tulips were on the radio last night and sounded really cool. i definitely need to check out some of their stuff if i have a free minute so if youre bored then check them out for me and tell me what you think!
• i realised this morning that young forever by jay z is the perfect song for new moon or actually any of the films in the twilight saga. next time you hear the song just listen out for the chorus and listen to the lyrics. theyre just perfect for twilight!
• i love love love the 3oh!3 song with katy perry. i cant remember what its called but its just so good! me and my friend just love these guys coz they take themselves so seriously and theyre such idiots!
• and lastly i heard the mariah carey song this morning ( which one i hear you cry? the all i want for christmas one you idiot! actually i shouldnt insult my dear readers. look i think of you guys as friends enough that i dont have to be superficially nice. actually i was never superficially nice!) so yeah back to the song. it actually hate her but that song just puts me in such a festive mood! i cant belive its already december!

so that enough from me hopefully ill post again soon. good night x

he looked just like youd want him to some kind of slick chrome american prince

i went to town today and watched new moon finally and wow! it reminded me of when i read the book, which was around the time twilight came out, and i cried so much when i was reading new moon and it was really the same with the film except not as bad! the film had more jokes in so i wasnt crying as much but it was really funny coz i was crying in exactly the same bits as i cried in the book! but me and my friend bought some chocolate so that definitely helped. and i made sure to take out my tissues before the film and i didnt wear any make up! i was well prepared!

so these pictures are of paloma faith who is just so beautiful with such a gorgeous figure. she also has an immense voice!

i was reading an article in the daily telegraph and the journalist was saying that music nowadays is not about just a great voice, its about owning the song making it your own. its about putting on a performance because truth be told people dont listen to songs if they are crap but the artist has a great voice. its about having the whole package. like billy joel really had a big influence in the music world because he was really a poet with a dreadful voice but people bought (and still buy) his music because of the melodies and the lyrics. im very into lyrics so this definitely makes a lot of sense to me.

at the moment im loving sidney samson, chapel club and bombay bicycle club (i had a dream about them but thats a whole other story!)

i was in h & m today and i cant stay by the killers came on and i got so excited coz its a song from their fourth album that hasnt been released as a single in the uk but i love it. its my favourite song on the album hence the killers title lyrics (theyre from a dustland fairytale)
so have a good night x

and in the dark i can hear your heartbeat, i try to find the sound but then it stopped and i was in the darkness so darkness i became

i was planning on making this a bright, colourful post but i was just drawn to all the black and white beautiful pictures and im too tired to argue with myself!

so this pictures are not just random, should we just do this in numbers? (starting from top)

1. i love paloma faith coz she just has such an incredible voice and some great lyrics. she really knows how to write a good pop song (maybe she doesnt write them). im still totally obsessed with new york even though its been around for ages!


2. i just got la rouxs album which is just amazing. another woman with an incredible voice. i love all her singles that shes released but its worth buying the album coz theres some more incredible songs on there. i love tigerlily and not just because of the name but what a great name for a song! she also writes some incredible lyrics like i never knew in for the kill had such amazing lyrics until i got the album and read the lyrics.


3. mr hudson. i still havent got over supernova but white lies, his second single is just immense and i love the song he did with jay z, young forever. obviously not as good as the original but still beautiful all thanks to mr hudsons beautiful voice!


4. florenece who seems to be the artist i speak most about on this blog has just done it again with youve got the love. ive been into this for a long time and live its just wow! but now shes released it and its just so good to hear on the radio and the xx remix! ive already talked about this but when im excited about something i cant shut up about it!

so lets talk sport well actually not sport but more specifically the hot guys who play it. theres something magical about watching a cute guy play a sport theyre good at! its that intense look of concentration its so damn sexy! so imagine how excited i was to find this interview with jenson button who i never even knew was fit! people are always talking about louis hamilton who btw i think is so uncute but anyway you never hear about anyone else in formula one! so check out the interview here and id love to know what you think! oh and btw isnt it so annoying that they are all so boring. its the same with andy murray they just have these deep voices that put you to sleep!

thanks for all the comments and for bearing with me until i actually got some inspiration to write a post. have a good night x

but her eyes glaze over like shes looking straight through me then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity

i was reading this post on a blog i love called amore fashion and she was talking about helena bonham carter and it just reminded me of how much i love her and her whole gothic look. its weird coz i have a friend who has the same look, big black hair, white nearly silver skin. she has such a great 'i dont give a shit' look but still remains a lovely person.

she really inspires me, like desperately seeking susan, to wear black lace and just let my thick black hair just go crazy! i bought a new deep purple eyeshadow from MAC and when i was choosing it i was like to my friend 'i want my eyes to look like two big bruises' and my friend was laughing and was like 'only you rebecca!' i also went into topshop and there was this gorgeous dress that was a sleeveless black lace dress and i was desperate for it but it was forty quid and i would have to wear it with a whole outfit underneath but it would really transform a purple top and skirt to wear that on top. maybe ill save up!

last night i watched airplane which is a film released in 1980 and its just hilarious in that monty python way so if you like that then definitely watch airplane!

ive currently rediscovered the streets. im listening to fit but you know it and dry your eyes. fit but dont you know it is just so funny. its just a normal guy fancying a girl in the queue for some fast food place but its just hilarious the lyrics and btw the title lyrics are from dry your eyes. really beautiful song.

ive also rediscovered rasmus and franz ferdinand so no new music today! oh actually i am loving bombay bicycle club and they are quite new.

so this has been a long post (as usual)! have a lovely evening and a good night x
