Loose Tapestries - Can't Wait For Christmas YTV

08/12/15 YouTube Video

Christmas time and lets get festive with this lovably catchy and creative number from the Loose Tapestries boys. Serge and Noel coming together to produce music is a truly great thing, I found out that they worked together on the music for Noels comedy show Luxury Comedy and they really honed their skill in order to produce this Christmas slice of joy. The lyrics that Noel provides are reminiscent of the style I fell head over heels for on The Mighty Boosh when I was but a teenage boy and Serge brings the melodic elements that knits the song together and it properly flows along nicely. My favourite line is "My wife is a walnut, she is a Christmas walnut" soooo good. Enjoy!

Rat Boy - Left 4 Dead SCS

SoundCloud Song

Another exciting English track from an equally exciting English band Rat Boy. They have some of the lyrical content of Jamie T but mixed up for the younger generation and they have added a punk edge with slightly dark undertones to the music. The thing that I particularly like about this band is that they sing about relatable and cultural things that I can recognise in my world where as other acts are out there sing about fantasy. Nothing wrong with either but being relatable ain't no bad thing. Enjoy!

Super Furry Animals - Something 4 The Weekend

Thanks to NMEs recent article of artists recommending albums that were influential to them. Without that I would have never heard of this track off of the Super Furry Animals 1996 album Fuzzy Logic. The verses of this song are total classic rock from that 90's era but the choruses totally remind me of mid era Beatles which is the major hook that got this track in to my head. This will easily get you through the mid week blues, ready for the weekend.

YouTube Video Of The Week! 06/08/13

This weeks video is a Kings Of Leon track from their forthcoming album called Mechanical Bull. I prefer this song over the previously released track from the album: Supersoaker. I like the more mellow sounding Kings Of Leon songs over the energetic Supersoaker. I'm interested to see if their new album will be along the same kind of lines as Come Around Sundown, which by the sounds of it that does seem to be the case, or if there will be any songs on the album that are going somewhere new and a bit different. So far I'm happy with their releases, fingers crossed for a decent CD.

Rodriguez

I've been watching a few different music related movies recently, one of them being The Search For Sugarman which was recommended by a mate at uni. It was an interesting documentary style thing about this artist named Rodriguez. Basically he went completely off the grid and no one had heard anything from him in years, but the people on the movie managed to track him down and have a chat. If you get a chance, give it a watch. Anyways, I was reading Mojo on the bus this morning and was pleased to see the little article (pictured) which basically says he has a bunch of new tracks and is going to produce a killer (hopefully) new album. If his past music is anything to go by, it should be brilliant.
