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

when i see you walking with her i have to cover my eyes, everytime you leave with her something inside of me dies




ive been away for too long! sorry i havent been checking out all your amazing blogs but i had to move out of the house coz my brother got mumps (even though he had the vaccine) and i didnt want to get it and then my mum went to london. anyway so ive had about a week and a half away from my beloved computer!
so this is very exciting coz this is my 100th post! ive been blogging for about 7 months now! i cant believe its been that long! it feels like a few months ago and that makes me feel so old but im only 15. it reminds me of the killers lyric 'im so much older than i can take' except i feel like my age doesnt match how old i feel like the other day i was sitting there with my radio and a cup of tea and thinking this is the life and then i was like this is ridiculous! im a teenager, im supposed to be irresponsible and stupid but im just so not like that. anyway how did i get onto this?!!
hope you had an amazing new year and some of the bands that i think (and hope) are gonna be big this year are:
  1. delphic-theyre song doubt is just beautiful. i havent heard much else of theirs but i cant wait to hear more.
  2. temper trap-we all know them for sweet disposition but their new song , which i cant remember the name of, is just gorgeous. its not like sweet disposition but just amazing. what the hell is it called?!!
  3. i love marina and the diamonds and shes definitely tipped to be big this year.
  4. the drums-im just listening to their EP which is just so cool. very summery but still sounds beautiful. its quite laid back and fun. check it out here.

so thats it! have a great week ive got lots of exams now so sorry if it takes me a long time to catch up with the comments. its back to school tomorrow after two days off coz of the snow but just two days and then its the weekend! x

youve got a really short skirt i wanna look up look up yeah yeah

i think this lyric really explains the point of mini skirts. its a killers lyric from an amazing song of theirs called midnight show which is on their first album hot fuss


so just a few music pictures. thats marina and the diamonds at the top with the gorgeous lipstick, then a florence picture. im totally obsessed with her album. i think my favourite song is cosmic love which is soo beautiful. and the last picture is mumford and sons who not only make amazing music but are gorgeous. i think the thing i like about mumford and sons is their songs are so sweet and sincere.
i have been so busy at the moment. ive got my gcse maths exam on the 5th and 10th of november so ive had a ton of homework getting ready for that and then ive been organizing this play for school and now my english as teacher has given us our coursework! im not one happy bunny!
just wanna say a happy birthday to my friend rivka who was 16 yesterday and a few girls made her some badges including one saying 'LEGAL!' thats so great isnt it! she didnt wear it but its so funny!
have a lovely evening and the album has just got to cosmic love so i think thats my cue to finish this post! x

my favourite word starts with F and ends with UCK, my favourite word is firetruck what else do you think id say?!


this is marina and the diamonds and not only is she beautiful she has the voice of an angel. sort of reminds me abit of regina specktor but more indie. check out i am not a robot. really good lyrics. she was on radio 1 last night and she admitted that when she was younger she would do anything to become a singer including auditioning for a boy band! also shes a die hard britney fan! love the girl!

you probably know for the work shes done with other artists but kidsister is going totally solo! she has so much attitude and her music, im not sure who to compare her to. shes very hiphop and a bit indie. just check her out!

so they dont need an introduction but i have heard paramore new single which is out at the end of november. it sounded very katy perry but i love katy perry so its all good! its called brick by boring brick so check it out and tell me what you think!
wow! its not the end of the world.. by the lost prophets has just come on the radio! still love the song!
and lovin the adverts with dominos song by the big pink. i sing along EVERY time! good night.. x
