Cheers.

1. The Hold Steady - Seen them live 3 times so far and each time they blew my mind a little bit more. I am seeing them in February again too and I cannot wait. My favourite band playing a smallish venue yet again. It's going to be immense!!

2. Feeder - Seen them once, and they were really good.

3. Lifter Puller - Unfortunately they disbanded before I could get to see them live…

4. Bruce Springsteen - Not seen :( but I am trying to get tickets to see him this spring.

5. Coldplay - Also not seen,…

So i have been at uni for 2 months now. scary thought seeing as it still does not feel like i am here. i have been spreading music about, not least the shins who i have been listening to on and off since march. i love that band, that make me smile and the new album is great for just sitting about to.

along with the shins i have been listening to a lot more hold steady. you all know how much i adore that band, possibly too much. they have been a great help to getting me settled at…

Hello. It's been a while and apparently these things do get read by people… hello to all of you who care!

This 'summer' has been amazing for me music-wise. I have fulfilled dreams and found plenty of new music to get excited about, which is ALWAYS a pleasure.

As some of you will know, I adore The Hold Steady. They started my year off with an amazing new album and changed my musical landscape forever. Well, they started my live music summer off too with a great show in Stoke.

I was really looking forward to seeing the band live…

Hello!

Just thought I would write another journal about what is going on my my musical world at the moment. It was my birthday last month so I got a lot of music (and money for spending on music).

First band I have been really into are The Hold Steady who are BRILLIANT! Anyone looking for proper blue-collar american rock or Bruce Springsteen-esque tunes then look no further than these guys. The new album "Boys And Girls In America" is absolutely fantastic.

Second, I got a lot of Bowie for my birthday (I decided it was about time I got…

Hello! It has been a while. I hope that everyone's christmas was good and lots of food was consumed.

2006 was a weird year. We had some fantastic music thought didn't we? There were great albums from Snow Patrol, Razorlight, Muse, RHCP and Graham Coxon. There were disappointing albums from certain artists (*cough cough* Robbie Williams) and albums that didn't really live up to the hype (contoversially I think Arctic Monkeys belong in there).

New artists broke out and trashed the place: The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys etc. And we had some welcome returns in the case of a few: David…

Hello everyone!

Last night was a night to remember for sure. I went to see the ever-wonderful Basement Jaxx on their lastest UK tour at the NIA in Birmingham. What a night!! I enjoyed every second (well nearly every second).

We got there about half seven to see the support band - which we didnt know about until we actually GOT there because I could'nt find any info. The band were called CSS and were a fusion of many different things: indie, dance, r&b, funk and electro. I knew I had heard of them but I could'nt remember why… then…

Hello everyone. Hope you are all ok. I have found last.fm a great place to meet the like-minded music lovers I crave. I found people who have the exact same "taste" as me and I never thought it was possible :)

I have been listening to a variety (as always) of stuff recently. Some of these you can see and others you can't. I have found a new love in Bruce Springsteen this week. My dad always played his records but I never really sat and listened properly…I was blown away by Lonesome Day and Mary's Place from 'The Rising'…

Hello all…

I am new to this whole thing. I would like to thank the Erica and the Rikard for gettin me into this crazy thing!

At the moment my top artist is Robbie Williams…GOD KNOWS WHY! I don't like his new stuff. I only listen now to classic Robbie, I am a fan of that and nothing more!!

There is no Feeder which I am ashamed of. Hopefully it will all come together and look pretty soon.

At the moment I am in love with anything Damon Albarn touches so Blur, Gorillaz, and The Good The Bad And The…
