Ed Solo & Skool of Thought - Love Your Life
This song always puts me in a good mood: the mood to party.
As some of you may know, I like to rant every now and then about something that is bothering me, but before I do I would like to make you all aware that I’m not pointing the finger at anyone, nor am I angry at the people who have sparked this rant, this is purely something that has continued to…
Hey Greg, wanted to ask you for your opinion on Spotify. Now I know that it’s primarily a UK-only service but I’d really like to hear what a musician has to say about it. How little (if any) amount do you receive per play for one of your songs? Would you encourage people to use the service, even if they own the album already or focus on album sales only?
Thanks man.

The Arka Teks - I Know You Know
I leave you folks with the song that has been stuck in my head all day and led to me purchasing the damn thing off iTunes.
Goodnight all!
Everyone else, nothing spectacular as I’ve seen every other band before that’s on that list.
I’m tempted to sell my weekend ticket and just go for the Saturday (I really want to see Weezer live) but I shall wait for the Lock Up (Punk, Hardcore and Ska) stage before I can tell it’s gonna be a good year or not and make my decision.
Leeds/Reading Festival 2010 Line-up.
First impressions?: Ummm… Weezer’s playing Saturday. They haven’t visited the UK since Maladroit.
Sold.

Refused - Worms Of The Senses / Faculties Of The Skull
The Shape of Punk to Come is one of my absolute favourite albums of the 90s (and of all time). I’ve uploaded the first track from the album, which [in my humble opinion] happens to be one of the best opening tracks for an album out there.
An unbelievably original album for it’s time, it truly did shape the sound of 21st century punk. This truly is an under-appreciated album despite the numerous bands out there who are inspired from and have paid their homage to it.
And to think this was released over 12 years ago, it still blows my mind to this very day.
YES! IT’S FINALLY HERE!
It only took a month to arrive! After spending $15 on the CD, $30 on USPS Priority shipping (it was the only option available, I hate you USPS) and then a customs fee of £11.22 (that’s $16.88 for you Americans) which brings this 5-track E.P. to a grand total of $61.88 (or £41.11 in lovely British currency).
Sure, that’s a lot of cash for one CD, but look at how genuinely happy I look. That’s the joy that Julia Nunes’ music brings to my life. Lots.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go listen to this on repeat for the next 6 months.
No really, I do.
This is just too cool, you can even make a tube map to show all your played artists and genres for the last 18 months.

Edit: Damn Tumblr scaling down images. Thrown it up on imgur.
Holy cow!
The new Pomplamoose song is AMAZING!

Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name Of
If you’re a resident of the UK and have an iTunes account, do what is right and purchase this song off iTunes this week for Christmas Number 1.

My iTunes Review - “F**k you Cowell I won’t do what you tell me!”:
Here is an exempt from Wikipedia listing previous Christmas Number Ones: 2005 Shayne Ward “That’s My Goal” 2006 Leona Lewis “A Moment Like This” 2007 Leon Jackson “When You Believe” 2008 Alexandra Burke “Hallelujah” Does the nation really want to let X Factor win a fifth year running? Break the cycle! DO what is right and buy this song. Not just because “Killing In The Name Of” is a 90s rock classic but because it’s all about standing up and doing what you think is right. So do the right thing this Christmas and buy this song!
My name's Tom although I often go by my surname 'Lawrence' amongst local friends. I'm a British finalist/senior student from Sheffield and now living in Hull where I study Computer Science (and previously Japanese for two years).
I waste way too much of my time on the Internet, here's my blog to prove it.
