We are a mess! We are failures! And we love it!

Haven't written a new post in weeks and I have no excuse seen as I've being doing absolutely nothing. I'm sorry! So I spent my weekend watching Glastonbury on iPlayer wishing I was there, there were some really good artists there! From what I watched my favourites were Coldplay and Mumford and Sons. Both bands played quite a few new songs, which is always risky at gigs, especially big ones like that! But I say well done to them both, I really enjoyed the new stuff as much as the old stuff.

Bought some albums this week, Darwin Deez (love that man) and Coldplay’s first album 'Parachutes' as it’s the only one I don’t have, got them both on the 2 for £10 at HMV! But my big one for this week is the EP 'Your Childhood', which is the works of Nottingham 5-piece 'Dog Is Dead'. Ok the name is just weird (I think they did it to get some attention), but their music is just brilliant! Really upbeat summery music and I reckon would go great if you were just cruising in a convertible somewhere in the sun.

The video I've posted is one of their songs entitled 'Glockenspiel song', which you will have heard on the last episode of Skins Series 5 where they all go for a dance in the big tent! Anyway it’s my summer song of 2011 and I hope you enjoy it.

If no one moves, then nobody's gunna get hurt!

I kept meaning to write this and never did, been putting it off for days! Ohh well, I'm here now. Been a great week for music, Red Hot Chili Peppers announced their new album is out 30th AUGUST! Coldplay and Kasabian released their new singles 'Every teardrop is a waterfall' and 'Switchblade Smiles' and I got Frank Turners new album with a signed poster! Yay! May have to do a post on him next....

Anyway I've been listening to We Are Scientists alot lately and I love them, they closed a stage at Dot to Dot and were brilliant! I never knew Andy Burrows (Razorlight, I Am Arrows) is the drummer! Will have to buy their albums sometime, probably when I start uni and the sight of all that money goes to my head and I go on a rampage through HMV.....
