OH HAI

'Haven't posted for a while.'
Bit of an understatement, it has been over a month... Not that there's much to report, I was going to Kenya until I found out the price, My first A level exam is on Tuesday (moment to lol.) Theory test tomorrow, soon I'll be a free man, first stop Hartsholme park, I have a big cliche fantasy of a drive-in picnic.

Maybe I will come up with more things to say in the summer, perhaps this will become a summer blog! That would be nice, nice and summery. Perhaps a change of background. Watch this space, anyone...

I love music in a non cliche way.

Hurrah for Leeds Festival!
While MCR headlining still disturbs me, I'm pretty happy with the rest. Seasick Steve, Cage The Elephant, Frank Turner and Noah and the Whale are where it's at for me. Might go see some of the more hardcore bands so I can pretend I'm a mad bastard. I heard a rumour Red Hot Chili Peppers were headlinig which got me very excited, but those hopes were crushed by that piece of yellow paper...

On the topic of music, you'd think living in a house full of musical instruments would make someone super awesome. No. The drums are fxcking loud, the keyboard is dusty, the 3 guitars are my brother's and I sold the clarinet. There was a trumpet about at one stage but that's disappeared... In short, when I read articles where artists say they 'grew up surrounded by music' it doesn't impress me. Mate, please, my dad has Classic FM on when I get home and my mum listens to Take That's album at an annoyingly loud volume. My brother plays his drums and blasts 'DEATH4EVA' or something similar from his ipod.
I too, am surrounded by music.

eff em ell.

Still 3 followers. Two of them being the same person isn't great. All of them being friends who I told to follow me isn't any better... On a lighter note, LOVING Neon Trees at the moment. Must listen to more than one song though, YouTube converter here I come. Don't tell the police xoxoxoxo

sorry, brb.

Was just about to do another post but Brooke Knows Best is on and hey, I don't have any followers.
CIAO

*sobs*

johnny cash is my favourite person. catch 22 - being born later would mean he was still here, but would the music be? discuss.

i'm allowed to like Ke$ha.



how could you not love this?!



It's hard to accept. It took me a long time before I was willing to admit it, but yes. I love Kesha. There's no denying it anymore! She's hilariously awful, her songs are lyrical genius, ('looking sick and sexyfied' is a prime example...) and bless her soul she looks like she's been camping, ALL THE TIME. But there's something about her oh so wonderful tunes that make me happy. She's easy to listen to, and I can pretend no longer that I don't enjoy when she starts sounding like a dying robot.

It's not just Kesha either. Ever since getting a DAB radio I'm finding chart music harder and harder to resist! Tinie Tempah is my one true love, everything that comes out of his mouth is perfect in my eyes. And I want all of his jackets... I used to hate the top 40, for a while mainstream music was absolutely shocking, and all I ever listened to was my little bands, discovered through 'related artists' on Spotify. (moment to love Spotify <3) I still do. A good British band over American rappers anyday! But I've given up the fight against the tide of *shudders* pop stars. I love The Saturdays, I secretly love The Wanted. Alternative music will always be my number one, but I'm done hiding.

*Disclaimer: I will never love JLS. Ever.

It's in the jeans.

Ordered some new jeans from ASOS, classified as 'rust coloured'. They sound delightful, right? Well they are, for some reason just having jeans in a colour that isn't blue or black makes me feel so much better. Also recently purchased some camel coloured ones from Toppers. They just seem to work. Am tempted to invest in the green trend, but since everybody seems to have a pair I might give it a miss. Nothing more frustrating than a trend exploding, especially after you know you were doing it weeks before! How am I to pave the way in fashion when everyone in the common room is a clone of one another?!
I have the answer.
Next stop, multicoloured jeans. Joseph would be proud.
