and his alarm went off to wake him but he didnt make it to the rap Olympics left to his plane and he missed it

dont you just love hayley williams?! i just love the girl. paramore's new single careful is great. i could listen to paramore all day. anyway these pictures are all about airplane coz im just obsessed with that song as well as the jay z remix of xxxo by MIA.

so a bit of new music:

1. monarchy-love get out of my way. ive loved monarchy for a long time now and this song is just great. quite indie and fun.
2. pulled apart by horses. i love this band coz they just scream but in a weird way its very therapeutic! this summer im really into dance music but i think this winter i might start getting into rock. its a genre that ive only really scrapped the surface of.
3. middle east- the darkest side. cant remember how this song goes. i just remember that its very indie and just gorgeous. im so crap at research!
4. broken bells-the ghost inside. cant really descibe it. just amazing! very indie and just this great laidback sound.

and that is a very random mix of stuff but i think monarchy is a one to watch although my predictions are normally wrong! however i did say holland were gonna win uraguay and they did! cant wait to the world cup final! x (title lyrics by eminem from airplane. how great is the concept of rap olympics?! do they actually exist? i hope they do!)

because maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me

i just received this award which is very exciting coz i think its my first award! check out her blog here. anyway i have to write about 10 things that make me happy so here goes:

1. music- so much music just puts a smile on my face. im normally into quite depressing stuff but my favourite upbeat artist at the moment is plan b. i just love what he's doing.
2. my friends- especially my friend rivka who is just off her head (in a good way)!
3. food- sorry its quite shallow but honestly having a piece of chocolate makes my day
4. radio- i find it so hard to go a day without listening to the radio. my radio is just always on and if im on the computer then i'll listen online. im just obsessed with radio 1!
5. beautiful photography- i love inspiring pictures. i love those pictures that just make everything look possible. its hard to explain the affect of photography, its just magical..
6. my weird family- my family are just mad but thats how i like it! some people have such normal, non-embarrassing families and i honestly feel bad for them!
7. boys- yesterday i saw the boy my friend has/had a crush on. yep he is fit!
8. fashion- i love dressing up in new interesting styles. yesterday i wore a top with a vest top on top with a black skirt and some grey jeans underneath and my lovely converse. im definitely repeating the outfit! it was so comfy and had this really cool casual look.
9. blogging- writing an amazing post is always so exciting and reading other peoples posts that are amazing.. i just love it!
10. comedy- i love a good stand up to watch when im feeling down. i love russell howard, he is hilarious!

have a lovely week x

flicking through a little book of sex tips, remember when the boys were all electric?

just some beautiful photographs i think theyre by marc bordons.

so yesterday i was listening to a playlist of british music and it was really dreadful, full of music by the likes of cheryl cole, N-BUBZ, tinchy styder and taio cruz. the worse thing was that i know so many amazing british artists so i decided to make a british playlist. lets hear it for great britian!

arctic monkeys-brainstorm

oasis-wonderwall

snowpatrol-run

adele-daydreamer

ellie goulding-under the sheets

hurts-wonderful life

la roux-armour love

florence and the machine-cosmic love

muse-plug in baby

love to hear what british music you love and if anyone knows how to make a playlist that people can actually listen to then id love to know! 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

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

don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing

i am so tired! hence the foto! i love saying hence, it makes me feel so english! just a short post today (famous last words!!)

MY CURRENT PLAYLIST

i am not a robot-marina and the diamonds
lungs-florence and the machine (album)
little lion man-mumford and sons
seventeen-marina and the diamonds
brick by boring brick-paramore
oopsy daisy-chipmunk

when i listen to music on the computer i use we7 which doesnt have music videos, just songs but its great coz i can listen to whole albums. just got reobsessed with mumford and sons. i forgot about them for like a week! what an amazing band. at the moment my favourite indie boy bands are: the big pink and mumford and sons.

how good is never mind the buzzcocks?!! you can check it out here. soo funny and i love thats its all about music. there arent many programmes about music and this is soo good!

have a lovely day x

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!
