I think there's a difference between intelligence and knowledge. There are plenty of people with letters after their names who only know figures and dates. It's possible to know a lot of facts but not know anything at all.

You get respect in society if you are aggressive. If you fight then people respect you. If you fight back, people like you for that as well. When I've been beaten up, if I've been in a pub doing nothing wrong, the fact I chose not to fight back, that I would never throw a punch back, people say I'm weak.…

Yeah it's only August and there are some big releases still to come this year but i know for sure this is my album of the year. The new sound of Manchester, The North and England. These guys just get better with every album. Each song is magnificent with throbbing bass lines, flashing guitars and beautiful dreamlike vocals this album paints a picture of the North better than any other band could ever wish to do.

Listening to it walking to work very early in the morning is such a magical experience and the album seems to be getting better…

So i finally got round to buying some albums to update my collection:

Doves - Kingdom of Rust
U2 - No Line on the Horizon
Bon Iver - For Emma Forever Ago
Echo & the Bunnymen - Porcupine

so far i have only listened to Doves but i can't wait to get stuck into the rest :)

Going out a lot and buying games for my 360 isn’t cheap but I do love my music and I really do need to buy more, well I think I need more anyway unlike certain people I know who think I’m a tad obsessed with music.

I have always loved getting a new CD every now and then but now I’m wondering how long this format will last. Even if I collect a lot of them nobody will want them in the future as all music is now online for free either by using file sharing or streaming with new…

Wow, I'm really suprised, I sat down tonight and I watched all of the BRIT awards. I mean I only started watching it because it was on after Corrie but i really enjoyed it.

First off the nominees for all of the awards were great choices, it would of been good to see the Verve in a couple more catagories but the competition was so i high i can understand how they got left out of a few.

All the live performances were amazing (it looked suspiciously like Take That were miming though) and the presenters (Kylie and those two…

Most kids enjoy pop music to some degree or another; whether it's singing along to the radio, downloading the latest ringtone, or sticking posters up on the bedroom wall, it's as big a part of youth culture as it's ever been.

Then, somewhere around puberty, one of two things happens. For the majority, nothing much at all. They'll continue to buy the occasional single or album, but music won't ever be more than a part of the overall entertainment mix along with movies, TV, and reading about what Kerry Katona's been up to in Heat magazine.

For the rest, however,…
