bet shes delighted when she sees him, pulling in and giving her the eye, because she must be fucking freezing scantily clad beneath the clear blue sky



so im back from prague! had such a great time! its really the last time i was with my whole class like forever now coz next year im gonna be in a new school, a whole new class... anyway just had so much fun running around the hotel at 3am and touring around getting a great tan! went to some really beautiful places and just saw so many other tour groups. lots of fit guys!
anyway back to music. i havent really been listening to music for the past few days coz i dont have a ipod (i hate having earphones in my ears and not being able to hear whats going on around me) and there was no radio in the hotel but as soon as i came back i straight away turned on my radio! i came back at like 1am and i never normally listen to radio at that sort of time but there was some great stuff on. just some genius remixes of great songs. so this morning on the radio, the presenter was like 'and next up some eminem an the killers.' i was so excited coz eminem and the killers and probably my two favourite artists so heard not afraid by eminem and when you were young by the killers. later on they played when the sun goes down by arctic monkeys (title lyrics from there). i used to be obsessed with that song and id forgotten how good it is.
so have a great weekend. im gonna be doing lots of shopping this weekend for france! primark here i come! x

youve begun to feel like home, whats mine is your to leave or take, whats mine is yours to make your own




now its the summer again, everyone seems to be in a relationship! me and a friend went the park on thursday and every fit guy had his arm around a girl! i was on tasty threads blog and she had a picture of alex and alexa and it made me realise that you never see pictures of them together. they havent broken up have they? i find alexa very annoying but i love her hair and as you know im a massive arctic monkeys fan!
i dunno if i ever talked about it on my blog but i have this obsession with tall guys. just the taller the better! last night i was trying to remember when it started and i realised it was from this music video someone made on youtube. its clips from smallville with the song look after you by the fray (title lyrics are from this song). i just loved how massive clark was compared to lana. they just looked so adorable together and so my tall guy obsession began!
im going a bit crazy coz i never realised how much history i have to learn so i might not be blogging too much. i know this week is gonna be crazy full of exams for a lot of people so good luck! soon it will be all be over! x

i bet that you look good on the dancefloor, i dont know if your looking for romance or i dont know what youre looking for





this photography by samuel bradley seems fitting coz yesterday i was at the beach! no i didnt just hop on a plane to spain (that rhymes!). i ended up going to blackpool with a load of 14 year olds (very long story how that came about) and because of some breathing problems, i didnt want to go on the big rides so i just went on the carousel and then went with two other people who hate big rides to the beach and we just walked along the beach for a good hour or two. it was so relaxing but also really tiring.
so a bit about music.. guess whos performing live on radio 1 on friday??!! EMINEM!!! i cant wait! hes so good live and i cant get enough of his single not afraid. cant wait to see what the next single is and just cant wait for the album!
hope your all well and hopefully post again soon (title lyrics from arctic monkeys) x

and it hits me that love is a game like in war no one can be blamed yes it struck me that love is a sport, so I pushed you a little bit more





im not sure if the title lyric is anti-valentines day or not...
im definitely not feeling the love, cant wait until its over......

so these pictures are just a random load of kate moss pictures. she really is an icon, very proud that she is british.
oh and i have to tell you guys about superbad which is watched last night. it was so funny and clever. that was one film i just never got round to seeing but last night me and friends wanted to rent out a funny/happy film and it was perfect. we actually had to pause it a few times coz we were all laughing so hard! and yeah michael cera is gorgeous (as usual) in this. I love michael cera!
so a whole post and no music. right ill end with some music to listen to
  • the cardigans (thats where the title lyric is from although i cant remember the name of the song)
  • arctic monkeys- i dunno why but im randomly into their music again
  • the courteeners-i know nothing about them, i just love their music

and i have a hole in my very expensive tights so ill leave you so i can wallow in pain all by myself.

haha im such a drama queen! x

dont let go, never give up, its such a wonderful life

this is a montage/collage (what the hell do you call it?!) from the bbc website. i think ive used all these pictures but they look really cool together.
so i thought for this post i could go through the top five of the 'bbc sound for 2010' list. so here goes!
  1. ellie goulding-i just checked out my blog and i realised that ive never written about ellie goulding so heres a first! she won this title and i do love her music. under the sheets has really grown on me and she is the one new talent (except marina) that me and my friend agree on. i just love how soft and beautiful her music is. its like snowpatrol but softer and more dance sort of music. i guess shes more electric than snowpatrol. ellies music is really made to fit the dance genre but snowpatrol is more acoustic and about the guitars and shes about the tempo and everything. her music is a bit dubstep. and that was me trying to explain an artists sound! i really am crap at explaining just check out under the sheets!
  2. marina and the diamonds-heres a singer i have talked about before and i just love her music. shes like a modern kate bush doing pop. what a beautiful voice and her lyrics make so much sense but they are very clever. oh i just thought of the word to describe ellie goulding- electro pop. so back to marina, i love all her songs but one of my favourites has to be i am not a robot. marina makes some great music videos so check those out on youtube. she just has lots of fun with the music videos, i love it when artists do that. i think it was cornerstone by the arctic monkeys when all you have is stupid alex turner (hes a cool guy just hate his hair) just singing to the camera for 4 mins. hate arctic monkeys for that! the killers also make amazing music videos. right back to our list..
  3. delphic-i dont know a lot about them but doubt is just a great song. they really make such beautiful music.
  4. hurts-i LOVE this band and i only know one of their songs but its just beautiful. i know normally the title lyrics i use are very depressing. actually i cant remember when i used a happy title lyric but this title lyric is from hurts and its just beautiful. their song, wonderful life reminds me a lot of dont give up by kate bush and peter gabriel. they are both about not giving up and staying strong. they were both also made for a time of recession when people want to just give up. i love songs which have a strong message.
  5. the drums-ive just got completely obsessed with their song lets go surfing. maybe its to do with the snow! im getting quite fed up of the snow and someone told me its gonna carry on like this for six weeks. six fucking weeks! i hope its not true

so thats the top five. i looked at the full list but the rest i havent heard of except that stupid daisy girl. her music is dreadful. i hope it doesnt do well coz then it will always be on the radio and i do not wanna hear it.

so if youre bored check out these artists or go to cinema and watch sherlock holmes coz its amazing. such a fun film to watch cya x

hes a scumbag dont you know


so this weekend has been reading and leeds and creamfields festivals so there has been lots of live music on radio 1 and also great coverage on bbc 3. i especially loved the arctic monkeys performance which was on on saturday night and wow! what performance although i have to say to alex turner to cut off the hair. its not a good look. also the charts are looking much better this week with dizzee rascal at the top with holiday which is a decent song and by far better than akon. also im totally loving just jack whose song the day i died is just amazing. some people thought he was gonna be a one hit wonder with starz in their eyes but he proved them wrong with embers and now AGAIN with the day i died. go just jack!
just a random fact: i just realised that the sexiest male voices in music are not very sexy looking men for example lead singer of kings of leon, i was very upset when i saw him in a music video. its like the fact that men with gorgeous faces have horrible hands. antonia quirke said that in her book and when i looked around i realised she is so right.
currently im listening to iris by the goo goo dolls but i think im going to listen to when you were young by the killers soon. also i watched outnumbered before which was hilarous, check it out on the iplayer. so good night to you all x
btw the title doesnt refer to alex turner;)

arctic monkeys


so this is another english band coming back with an amazing song with those great lyrics we have all come to love! these guys are just great and play just amzing music with killer lyrics, gorgeous tunes and a very english accent! they really are the kings of english indie. if youre unfamiliar with these guys check out their new song crying lightening or some of their older stuff like when the sun goes down and i bet you look good on the dancefloor. also fluorescent adolescent which is the song that really made me fall for this band. just amazing lyrics. there are so many bands who have tried to do what arctic monkeys do but they cant. arctic monkeys started off loving being unsigned and refused to sign up to any management but finally signed up to a manager but they only did this when they had a strong, dedicated fan base so their stuff does feel abit sort of cleaned up underground feel. have a good day x
