YouTube Video Of The Week! 01/10/13

So it's the start of October and I'm back at uni for the second year of my product design course. Lots of work is expected to come and also experimenting with clay which should be fun stuff. Anyway as you know last week I went to see Paramore and this week my video is from said band Paramore. A track called In The Mourning. I never heard it before I saw it performed live and now I'm in love it. A nice slowish song with what I hear to be a country music kind of sound. I have been listening to this song on repeat since last week, such a beautiful song. Enjoy!

All Settled In + Paramore

I have been busy recently moving in to my university place and in some ways it has been easy but there has been a few annoying points but now that I have been here for a few days I have got into the swing of things and all is comfortable. I have also been to a gig last night as you can probably tell by the title. Yes that's right I went to see Paramore at the LG Arena in Birmingham. This is the second time having seen them, the first being in 2008. This show was really brilliant and they put on a great performance but in my opinion I preferred watching them in the smaller venue, The Carling Academy I think it was. I just like that closeness you get with the band that you tend to lose in the larger arenas.

I'm glad the band mostly played songs from the new album and only a few of the big hits from previous albums because I have listened to the latest CD a lot more than the older ones. One of my favourite tracks I heard was Last Hope, it really was a great sing along moment for most of the crowd and myself. I also enjoyed seeing Hayley picking a fan from the crowd to help sing Misery Business. For me this kind of audience interaction really shows the band as more human in a way.

Supporting Paramore were Charlie XCX and Eliza The Bear. I didn't particularly enjoy Charlie except for her big hit I Love It. I just think that kind of music is not for me and I don't think I would choose to listen to her further. As for Eliza The Bear, I had listened to a couple of their tracks beforehand and quite liked it. It was slightly generic indie rock to me but I still thought it was good and maybe worth a second listen.

Overall it was a great night and I would happily see them again especially if they keep producing music like they are.

Folllk

Firstly I have to say I'm properly addicted to the new Paramore track, I cant get enough of it and really considering pre-ordering the album.

I have been perusing the web for any kind of interesting blog about folk music and I have came across this video (link below) by Tallest Man on Earth. I have only listened to it a handful of times but I think his vocals are quite unique and his guitar playing is very impressive. I found the video on Folk Alleys blog, definitely one to check out for plenty of other good tunes :)

I have also pre-ordered the début Fidlar album which I'm looking forward to seeing them in less than a month, Feb 21st to be precise lol.

New Paramore single

Well I have listened to the new Paramore track 'Now'. It is still as powerful as the songs they have made in the past, keeping the rock loudness and strong vocals. And after listening to it a few times it really is catchy.

I also went to HMV to see if I could get any cheap albums before they close down, and after a lot of looking around I found this album by Bob Mould which I have wanted for a while. Plus I got it for nine quid which was cheaper than amazon. Yeah!!!!
