youve been acting awful tough lately, smoking a lot of cigarettes lately, but inside youre just a little baby

i saved the picture above under the name 'tattooed beautiful boy with cig looking beautiful and lost' and i saved the guy underneath under the name 'smoking shirtless beauty'. i think that says it all!
can we just talk about how genius i am to find this lyric?! how well does it go with the photos?!! i was just listening to marina and the diamonds and i heard these lyrics in her beautiful song i am not a robot and theyre just perfect for the gorgeous photos.
i dont normally like male models but i do have a folder of the male models i think are just damn right beautiful and these two are just amazing. i dunno what it, maybe the tattoos or the beautiful 'broken but dont give a shit' look. does that make sense?!

okay lets talk music:

im still totally obsessed with glee. its just immense and just makes me smile so much! just writing about it gets me excited!! oh im a sad old soul!

im currently listening to the skream remix of in for the kill by la roux. its all dubstep and beautiful. oh i love it!

other bands im loving are the virgins, the drums and this morning i heard mr brightside by the killers on the radio: it was an epic moment singing along with a hairbrush while halfway through getting dressed so i was wearing my school shirt with my pj bottoms and my hair in one big curly mess! theres something amazing about hearing a song you love on the radio even if you have the album so could listen to it at any time. its those first few notes, the big adrenaline rush, is it weird i get adrenaline rushes from the killers and not from roller coasters (i hate roller coasters with a passion)?
sorry im so bad with writing posts. i try and keep up with all your blogs but i dont really have that much time to write. i was writing my english AS coursework with my friend and just coming up with total examiners porn (explanation: writing an essay that is so beautifully written and quoting all the right quotes if i dont get a good mark for this essay HEADS WILL ROLL!) For my essay im analysing an article from Grazia which is just wonderfully written and even has a reference to Florence (yes THE Florence from florence and the machine)
so it is time to leave you beautiful people once again. im going to london on monday on a school history trip just for one night but i cant wait to tell you all about it! x

you dig yourself a grave everyday youre sober


this morning i heard kiss and tell by you me @six and its been in my head like all day! nearly fell asleep in biology today just totally not used to getting up at 7:30 again. im yawning while typing! so check out you me @six these guys are really sweet and i dont really know alot of their stuff but i was just reading some of their lyrics for songs like save it for the bedroom and its just great. looks sort of tragic and beautiful but i really wanna hear more of their stuff now. just listening to pink floyd who my friend has just discovered through her mum and its just so good! im listening to another brick in the wall and its just got such clever lyrics. genius.
this is my 55th post! i just love blogging! i love writing posts, writing comments, getting all sorts of weird inspirations, its just amazing! see you have a good evening x
btw thats nick grimshaw in the middle, a radio 1 dj who does a show fom ten til midnight every weekday night. check it out, its one of my favourite shows to listen to.

walking tall against the rain

yes i am back in rainy manchester and have enjoyed my holiday so much but i missed blogging and am very excited to be back! in london i was watching the music channels quite alot so i have loads of info and opinions to share with you! first i want to talk about shakira who has made a comeback with she wolf and my friend sent me a text about it which really says it all:
"i saw the music video for shakiras new single OMG its practically porn. i was so surprised that i watched the documentary on the making of it: shakira explained SHYLY that it is about the modern woman who went through a scarlett closet and became a sexually charged wolf who 'follows her desires' at one point it is difficult to see whether she is wearing any clothes or not. which is weird because i watched in an interview that she is very shy about her body 'the dancing requires it' apparently she learnt to belly dance to overcome her shyness!!! what do u make of that?" thank you to rivka for the words i couldnt have said it better and id love to kn0w your opinion on the matter...
as you all must know, run this town is just so huge but i just want to say that in the music video for run this town, rihannas hair looks very la roux. both of them are making me desperate to get short hair but im just way too chicken.

and lastly just wanted to say that pixie lott has such a killer voice and her new single boys and girls just shows off what a great voice she has, also the music video shows off her killer legs btw what is it with the short shorts at the moment? pixie lott, katy perry and lady gaga are all rocking the shorts which are just a tiny bit to short thereby showing just a tiny bit of killer ass!! have a great day x

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

camping!


okay guess where im off to??!!!!! okay im soo freaking excited!! im going camping with my friend and her family(she has 5 younger brothers! its gonna be fun!) so it was only yesterday that my friend asked me and we are going today! but anyway were going for 3 nights and i tried very hard to pack light (its so hard!) so its gonna be fun!
i will be listening to friendly fires and snowpatrols first album and probably listening to the radio alot!
but im not going to be blogging for 3 WHOLE days so ill made this an even longer than normal post (i can hear you groan!)
just before i was listening to the radio and i heard jamie t and i remembered how i hadnt told you guys about him! hes so great and english! check out sticks and stones (his last single) which is just amzing also i totally adore daniel merriweather! hes just got such a cool voice that he can mess about with so much! i loved stop me for a long time and i didnt know it was him until he started to do some stuff solo. check out red (my favourite colour and my favourite song by him!).
so i cant really think of any more music for you to listen to (im still going through my weird music detox thing, remember?) except pink who im totally obsessed with at the moment and florence and the machine who is legendary (if your new to the blog check out the post on her i did) okay so i better leave now!) ill miss all the amazing blogs but theyll still be here when i come back! cant wait to tell you everything! x

  1. a few of my friends came round off cut my hair! i have waist length black hair which is gorgeously curly! i love my hair its really thick and big and so much fun! i dont do anything to it. im very lucky to have easy hair that just does as its told. it has natural curls which dont fall out! i love my hair and anyway my friends cut me some front layers and a bit of length off because the ends were looking dead!
  2. right now im listening to battlefield by jordin sparks. i love this song! when you learn the words its so much fun to sing along! i love how she gets so into these meaningless lyrics!
  3. i painted my nails yesterday and i love them! i painted them black and then put red on top so they look amazing but very emo coz i have like no nails! i love typing when i have painted nails!
  4. eminems song beautiful is amazing! the lyrics, the melody, him! i love that guy! its so beautiful i was nearly crying (although i think that might have been PMS!)

okay now i have heard battlefield 4 times over (its on repeat!) so ill leave you!

lily allen


lily allen is just amazing! i have been into her for a long time now. she started out really because of her myspace and then started realising stuff a few years ago. she writes amazing lyrics such as:
"I'm not trying to say that I'm smelling of roses but when will we tire of putting shit up our noses... It's meant to be fun and this just doesn't feel right... So you've got a prescription, and that makes it legal. I find those excuses overwhelmingly feeble… The kids are in danger, they're all getting habits. From what I can see, everyone's at it."
These are some of the lyrics to her song everyones at it. its some of her more stuff and still genius. when her new album came out i was terrified of hating it as i had so many expectations because i loved the first album however the new album sounds great although i havent bought it yet(yes im still skint!).
i love how english she is and she makes lots of references to english culture in her songs like, for example, LDN.
she has a gorgeous voice and a lot of talent and some of her songs are so soothing (if you dont listen to the sinister lyrics!) on her first album there is a song called everythings just wonderful which is a song hat has a beautiful melody and heart breaking lyrics. she talks about how twisted the world is and how 'I wish I could change the ways of the world, make it a nice place'. shes so talented so i advise you to check out her albums as her singles dont do her justice!

friendly fires


although they havent done so amazing in the charts most english music listeners have heard their stuff which gets loads of radio time! whether its paris or jump in the pool or skeleton boy (all AMAZING songs!) its worth checking out their live performances which, besides being amazing to listen, are amazing to watch because they all look so comfortable on the stage with the lead singers cute dancing and their quirky way of dressing!
their songs are great and really chilled out. just really enjoyable to listen to! i have their new album and havent got round to listening to it but im sure that is going to stay in my player for months! x

muse


my love for muse is so big its ridiculous! you have to check out there music to understand why i adore these guys so much! they just play such original music and every song is a masterpiece! all their songs have so many diferent layers. after listening to them you will never listen to music in the same way again! the lyrics all the guitar! there are really no wors to describe these songs so ill keep this short. i am so proud that muse are english. its so nice that we like 'own' these guys! they make me proud to be british! if youve not heard them before check out, time is running out, plug in baby and starlight. thats a good place to start and go from there. you dont hear them much on the radio but lots of people know them from guitar hero. enjoy!

snow patrol






This is a little posting by a massive snow patrol fan! the first song i loved of theirs is chasing cars (obviously!) i loved that song for a very long time and then i heard run and fell in love with that. for a long time i didnt listen to any of their other songs just those two but then (i cant remember exactly why) i bought their album eyes open and loved it (although not at first but thats a long boring story). that cd stayed in my player for months and i know most of those songs of by heart. that album is amazing! if your going to buy any album buy that one! i totally love it!
i also just bought final straw which is also a masterpiece but its still growing on me! anyway i will buy their new album when i have the money but as i said before im skint!
by the way check out the greys anatomy music video for chasing cars.it made me cry!

radio 1

just a quick post to talk about my love for radio 1. radio 1 is a radio station (98.9 FM) which you can tune into in the whole of the UK or you can listen via their website which there is link to on one of my lists at the side! they play mostly new music during the day but if you are into up-and-coming artists then check out the radio shows after 7 especially nick grimshaws show(a fellow Mancunian!) from 10-midnight every weekday night. check out their website for details. also they always have great coverage of all the festivals which i love!


my favourite DJ is Sara cox who does the weekend lie-ins! she has such a gorgeous voice she could get a job doing those haagen daaz adverts! she is also, despite eating all the time, absolutely gorgeous! i love radio 1!





florence and the machine

for this post i wanna talk about a relatively new band who are new to the whole top 40 thing. they are a band who are very dramatic and florence writes songs on gorgeous things! its very hard to explain them but check out some of their live performances if you want an introduction to them. their performance in Glastonbury was legendary (although i wasnt fortunate enough to be there!). their song kiss with a fist is one of the best songs ever written! so check them out.
also their new album is out which looks amazing but im too skint at the moment to buy it!
