and right before im about to drown she resuscitates me, she fucking hates me and i love it






(view of stage, florence-love that dress!, the xx, jamie t, la roux, muse)
just had a weekend of singing along to eminem.. his new album recovery has come out and i havent had the time to go and buy it but im listening to it on we7. its epic!
love the way you lie, his song with rihanna is just amazing. that is gonna be a big song (title lyrics from that song). also love airplane, the b.o.b song with hayley williams. love the eminem remix. that is a great link to what im up to tomorrow! im off to prague on a school trip! im gonna be gone til friday.. its very exciting! and then im going to france in a few weeks with a few friends!
anyway back to music. glastonbury has been going on this weekend so i picked out some of my favourite pictures to share with you. i watched the muse set online which was amazing. ive never watched a whole set of theirs but now i see why people call them one of the best live bands. also watched the xx perform their remix of florence's you got the love with florence! ive never seen the xx perform but theyre just amazing.
so have a lovely week. check out glastonbury stuff here. see you soon 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

new layout!


okay i know i havent been blogging for long but i was already getting bored with the layout so i messed about with it all and i like it much better now! i decided to put a picture of glastonbury as my title picture coz i just think glastonbury is amazing! im only 15 and we are quite skint so theres no way i can go but every glasto i listen on the radio and watch it! its always amazing and soo exciting!
this year there was the amazing florence and the machine playing who just did a killer performance and looked absolutely gorgeous! i remember watching here and thinking, if i had a good voice i would would do exactly what shes doing! all the sort of twirling around on stage in gorgeous costumes and having songs with lyrics about everything and anything! shes really my idol i guess! so enough gushing for the day! x

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!
