Dinosaur Jr - Tiny YTV

Fresh out of the gates with a bang is this new track from Dinosaur Jr. Tiny is off of the bands upcoming LP Give A Glimpse of What Yer Not which is out in just over 2 weeks. I have been a big fan of DJ for a few years now and J. Mascis' latest solo album was one of my favourites from 2014. So it is no surprise that I am pleased of the new music from these guys. It is the same great quality that I have grown to expect from their previous work. Enjoy this extremely informative video!

Kasabian Sesame Street/Good Vibrations YTV

19/08/14 YouTube Video

Such a fun video this one, with Kasabian covering the great childhood tv theme of Sesame Street. And even though the main reason Good Vibrations was included was to elongate the track, the two songs work really well together as do the dual vocals of Tom and Serge. The real highlight I have picked up from this video is the sense of humour that Kasabian have shown that previously I have not picked up on. I appreciate the fact that they can have a laugh and not always take things super seriously. It is a light hearted song and the total opposite end of the spectrum from headlining Glasto and still a great little medley guys. Enjoy!

Stone Age Brain - Jen Cloher Ft. Courtney Barnett SCS

SoundCloud Song

This is a great live performance of a track Jen Cloher originally did with a man called Tim Rogers. In this version he has been replaced by the ever increasingly popular Courtney Barnett. There are several reasons why I prefer this track over the original: I really think the acoustic guitar sound compliments the vocals and makes the lyrics easier to hear rather than the electric guitar which slightly overpowers them. Also I prefer the girl/girl vocals as opposed to the boy/girl vocals of the original mainly because I think Tims voice is a bit too harsh on the ears for a track that sounds like it should be more mellow. But who knows, maybe I have just fell in love with Courtneys voice too much to prefer another instead. Enjoy!

J Mascis - Every Morning

This is the first track released from the soon to be J Mascis solo album. I have to say it was less of a heavy sound than what I was expecting, especially after listening to some of the more rockier Dinosaur Jr stuff which I enjoy equally to this track but differently. I love how upbeat and happy the track sounds, helped along by the bouncy acoustic guitar sound. Keep up the good work!

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.
