Week 2 - An Inability to do 3 Days Drinking and BASTILLE

Four For the Week

As promised I will do a small section on my 'Four For the Week', a good pun which basically is just four really good songs, obviously in my opinion but have a listen and see what you think.

1) BASTILLE - OF THE NIGHT - get the bass turned up for this remix of a classic, if it doesn't make your foot tap then I can't help you, musically or generally in life. This tune is part of Bastille's free mix tapes which you can get from their website (www.bastillebastille.com), which involve other classics such as 'No Scrubs' all mixed in an alternative way. Have a listen, see what you think. Other decent tunes: Flaws, Overjoyed, Bad Blood.

2) FOALS - INHALER - this is the newest tune of the eagerly anticipated new album. The song is in a totally different direction to their previous albums, with a high pitched vocal, catchy bass line and all round tune (really in depth analysis I know). Greg James on Radio One has also followed my lead and made it his record of the week. Other decent tunes: Cassius, Blue Blood, Spanish Sahara.

3) EVERYTHING EVERYTHING - KEMOSABE - different. That's how I would expertly summarise this song and this band in general. Eclectic beats and an indistinguishable vocal performance in which making out the words is fairly impossible but adds to the pleasure of the song. Other decent tunes: Cough Cough, Schoolin, Photoshop Handsome.

4) PEACE - BLOODSHAKE - retro style, baggy clothing, long hair and these lazy tones makes Peace a band who resemble similarities between themselves and 'Swim Deep'. An Indie-Retro pop tune which will get you boogying (I need to work on my analysing skills). Other decent tunes: Wraith.

Nearing a Milestone

"Spontaneous behaviour is what makes people individuals". A quote by ones self. As I near the big two five, I headed into the weekend with zero plans apart from continuing to play football with a knee not to similar to Ledley King's. 

However, I decided to meet up with and old friend and have a spontaneous weekend involving Leeds, Leadmill, Wagamama's, alcohol. Not going to lie, it's been amazing, took me back to Uni days with no work worries and meeting up with 'the council'. Although, we failed to do 3 days in a row of drinking due to sleep deprivation. Tomorrow, back to reality......woop there goes gravity (god knows if these are the words). 

Anyone wishing to cry at the cinema, then go and see 'The Impossible'. A great film but shockingly graphic and touching, worth a watch though. Take tissues.

Quote of the week: "When going in for a hug as a witty remark I am going to start saying out loud 'Going for the Hugular'" - Myself (I was thinking about hugging not killing at the time).
