Apologies to everyone for the delay in posts! But as most readers will know the summer exams are on their way so its all hands on deck to make some progress to make those revision notes that should have been done way back! With that said, it is going to be quiet around here for the next few weeks whilst we attempt to cram like never before and fluke a few good marks.
I couldn't just leave you without any music tips to keep you going though so here they are:
Albums:
May 4th -
The Maccabees - "Wall of Arms"
Very very excited about this album which will hopefully help them get some real recognition. Check out the preview album track "Can You Give It?" from the last Tuesday Tuneage.
The Horrors - "Primary Colours"
Like nothing else you will hear this summer, the change from over-hyped scenesters to big hitters in just one album is huge.
Go over to nme.com to get a full preview of the album whilst it is still up.
May 11th -
Graham Coxon - "The Spinning Top"
The guy is a ledge and this is going to be a welcomed return to form as well as a little experiment with it being a 'story' album.
If you get the chance to catch him and Blur in the summer then spare tickets are welcome over here.
Now for the songs and artists you need in your life:
Magic Magic - "Over Your Heart"
This will cheer you up no end even if your head is buried in a text book. Gloriously dainty and smooth indie-pop despite the band having two drummers. Check out their self-entitled debut album if you get the chance, great investment.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - "Young Adult Friction"
A cool little quartet from New York bringing shoe-gaze and wall-of-fuzz music to keep you believing there is still sunshine and merriment beyond your desk.
Phoenix - "Lisztomania"
French pop that will get you tapping your biro to the beat and eventually leave you dancing around your room.
Bombay Bicycle Club - "Evening/Morning"
A band tipped for big things, debut LP out in the summer and this song is key for when you are at your wits end around 11pm and you can not cram another sentence. Check out their latest single "Always Like This" as well.
Camera Obscura - "French Navy"
Elegant indie-pop from these Glaswegians. Retro summery feel without despite a penchant for some sad lyrics.
Passion Pit - "The Reeling"
This will be the first song I will be playing after the exams have finished! Cheery, energetic and a party starter.
So there you have it, keep an eye out for the next batch of posts around the 4th June, good luck to all those with exams, enjoy your freedom to all those that don't! As usual all comments, wannabe writers and followers are always welcome.
Catch you later.
