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!

YouTube Video Of The Week! 11/03/14

This track has got a nice summer feel to it with perfect timing with the slightest bit of good weather we have been having in jolly old England. If the weather where you live has been miserable, this track will make you want for those long summer afternoons that are soon to come.
I hear a little bit of a Kelis vibe with the vocals and the production, which I think that is mainly down to the simple happy beat and sing/rap vocals.
Anyways, I hope you like it.

Imagine Dragons at The Institute

Last night I went to the sold out performance of Imagine Dragons and performance was definitely the right word for it. Those guys know how to put on a show. To be honest I wasn't expecting a great deal from them, having listened to their EP and thought it was so-so, nothing special. The thing that pushed me to see them live was their support being The Good Natured. A band I randomly found out about through YouTube and liked them.

As much as I wasn't particularly excited by IDs CD I really got into their live show. The lead singer had a seemingly endless source of energy and kept the crowd jumping the entire time. And maybe part of the good energy was from the place being crammed to the max with bodies, with barely room to have your arms by your sides. But it seemed everyone was there for the same reason, to have a good time and like the singer said, to escape and forget about the outside world for a few hours.

I enjoyed The Good Natureds performance slightly less than Imagine Dragons but the lady singer was pretty incredible, with a great voice and groovy dancing to match. Also the drummer was particularly talented. The speed at which he was playing seemed awesome.

Overall surprisingly great gig!
