New Years Music

So Christmas is over and even now I have a shit load of chocolate and sugary treats to eat. I wanted to show my appreciation to my friends and family for all the amazing gifts and stuff I've received seeing as I'm writing this post off of my new kindle :) I also got a fair amount of money to buy some new CD's, the majority of which are pictured above and I'm just waiting for the last one or two to arrive but I've got more than enough to last me. Good times!!!!

Since I have had some time off uni I have been trying to sort out my room into more of a presentable state. My girlfriend (with the same idea) was sorting out one of her living room cupboards and found a box of old CD's that I gave to her to store before I moved house. Listening to them again has brand back a lot of good memories from when I was first getting into music. Its really nice to look back to good music just before the new years. Let's hope this 2013 will bring even more brilliant music.

Have a good NYE!!

Esquire

As the title suggests, yesterday I finished reading the latest esquire. The only reason I bothered to pick up such a magazine was the large photo of Jack White on the cover and it claimed to be the music issue.
Inside, the interview they had was pretty interesting, talking about his life growing up and his relationship with Meg and the several different bands he has been a part of. After reading it I'm thinking about picking up the book The White Stripes - Sweethearts of the Blues to find out more.
They also had a segment about The Rolling Stones which can never be a bad thing :)

On top of this I have got a ticket to see Fidlar in the new year! Lets hope it's a good gig.

Merry Christmas!!

New Albums

Only 3 days till Christmas 2012 and this morning I've been into town and picked up two albums. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake and Crosby, Stills & Nash - Greatest Hits.

I know I'm like more than a year behind getting L.E.S. seeing as it was the top of lots of different Albums of the Year 2011 charts but I am not the best for getting up to date albums :) And I wanted to start a bit of a collection for C.S.N seeing as I had none to begin with and what better place to start than a greatest hits album. Even more stuff to listen to in these 3 weeks off.

I also wanted to include a photo of a cardboard model I have made whilst at my 1st term in university. Not in the shot is a full drum kit and electric guitar which the team made.

Christmas Holidays

Over the past couple of months I have been extremely busy at university. But now its the christmas holidays and I have enough time to update my news/goings on. I am really lucky to have received tickets to see Bruce Springsteen in June at the Ricoh Arena. I'm really looking forward to it!! Also in the past couple of weeks I have seen Mumford & Sons and Florence & the Machine. Both of which were really good but very different. I probably would say I preferred Mumford just because the whole crowd were more up for it. They both put on a great show.

Since starting uni, I have found out about a lot of new music, new genres and a load of artists. I'm getting into my great guitarists. Like right now I'm listening to a Susan Tedeschi greatest hits album and she is brilliant. But yea I have lots of new music to be getting through during the holidays. :)


Merry Christmas!
