YouTube Video Of The Week! 28/05/13

This week I have been getting into a slightly alternative style than normal with Iggy Azalea featuring T.I.. Out of the few tracks she has released so far, this one is my favourite. I like her rapping style and I think there is a cheeky element to her lyrics but that doesn't diminish the quality of them, she is not just singing nonsense like other artists I've heard in the past. On the basis of the few tracks I have heard so far I have pre-ordered her album due to be released in September. I'm really excited to here what else she has to offer. I'm also interested to see what she is like live so I'm considering trying to see her at Reading Festival in Aug. Hopefully her live show is as good as I'm imagining. I've heard she has been compared to previous female rappers in the past and to be honest I see small comparisons but she has her own style that I think shines through enough to be classed as an artist in her own right. Here is the track:

 

 

Charity Shop Haul

Can I just say thank god for charity shops. No where else would I be able to pick up these great albums for 50p a pop. Yesterday i went to the local in Crown Way and got these handful of records. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs albums I was particularly pleased with getting because there is some great songs on them that I want in my catalogue. I also picked up this best of Paul McCartney cassette. Shame I threw away my tape player when i was younger but I think it's a cool little memento to have anyways, I love the old McCartney :) I also picked up a couple of cheesy vinyl singles KC & The Sunshine Band - Give It Up and The Tweets - Birdie Song. Yes I know they're embarrassing but they were 30p each so I thought what the hell. I have also ordered the debut from Parquet Courts and a Kacey Musgraves album which should arrive in the next day or two. But yeah both of those I'm really excited to hear, again a lot to listen to during the summer break. Lets hope the sun keeps shining.
