Gigs

Well, next year is already shaping up nicely! I've got MCR tickets for 30th March, McFly tickets for 10th April (just, long story) and hopefully going to get Matt tickets for February tomorrow. Wahey!

That is all!

All hail King Matt!

So Matt Willis actually WON "I'm a celeb..."! I actually couldn't believe it when Ant and Dec announced it. I was shocked enough when Jason came third. In Matt's words, I'm "proper chuffed" for him!

I also can't believe what he did for the trial either. That was gross!

But congratulation MATT! Let's hope this will help get his album what it deserves.

No. 66?

Oh Matt why didn't you wait until after I'm A Celeb?. The album deserves soo much better.

Murder on the dance floor

Why would you do it? Why?

Someone's gone a done a dance version of truly madly deeply. The original only happens to be one of my all time favourite songs of all time. Now I don't know who'd covered it - some crappy dance artist - but I hate it. I actually can't get over it. Someone tell me why?

Why murder a perfectly amazing song by covering it? And turning it into a dance track? That is what I call murder on the dance floor!

Don't let it go to waste...

the name of Matt Willis' album, and also what I think about it. By that i mean that it deserves some credit because there's some bloody amazing songs on there. But no doubt it won't chart high due to lack of promo, despite him currently being on TV everynight. I don't understand why he's released it this week to be honest, he should have waited until a couple of weeks after "I'm a celeb..." finishes and got some promo in!

I'll do a little review at a later date!

Check it out! >

Is it just me or is Lil Chris' new video, Gettin' Enough, not hilarious?

Hilariously crap! I can't even understand what he's saying!

Oh one more thing; go back to school and learn how to spell!

Congratulations!

To Matt Willis for bungee jumping out of that helicopter. He looked so scared yet still did it. There's no way you'd even catch me anywhere near a helicopter. Haha

MCR - Bournemouth 11/11/06

So, this Saturday I travelled to Bournemouth to see MCR for the seventh time, and they never fail to please! The only thing that does disappoint me is how short their set always is!

The gig was in the weirdest venue ever, reminded me and my friends of a school sports hall! We got let in fairly early and waited for a while before the support band, Pray for Silence, came on. They pretty much sucked, but that's becaused I hate support bands. It's just not the same when you don't know the music! My Chemical Romance came on and we couldn't have been happier! They opened with The End, the first track from the new album. They did most of the new album, which were all great live, and a few songs of each of their other 2 albums. I hate that they don't do Head First for Halos anymore, cos that's amazing live! Gerard's English accent made an appearance again. That's the third time in as many shows I've had to cringe at it. Nice try but don't give up your day job Gerard!

So all in all, great night!


Mikey and Gerard Way.

Matt Willis fans...

Matt's album release has been put back again. It is now apparently being released on 4th December according to Matt's MySpace. But why I hear you ask!

Because he's going to be in this years series of "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" which starts on Monday.



Now that should be interesting!!

Motion in the Ocean

Just a short review of McFly's third album. I do like the album, but I'm not keen on the name!


We Are The Young - With a dramatic start, some great drumming and vocals, this song could make a future single I think.

Star Girl - The second single from this album, I loved it the minute I heard it. Good old McFly are back! Gotta love all the "Ooh ooh ooh ooooohs!"

Please, Please - Was the first single from the album, supposedly about Lindsey Lohan. Whoever it is or isn't about I like it

Sorry's Not Good Enough - Will always remind me of "Arena Karaoke" from the tour. All I can say is I love it!

Bubblewrap - Bit of a weird title but actually it's quite a nice ballad. Not one of their best though.

Transylvania - The beginning makes you wonder what the rest of the song is going to be like, and it does have some interesting vocals! But Dougie gets a nice little solo bit and he does well.

Lonely - I've read that some fans think this is slightly boring but I actually disagree. I think it's a good pop/rock ballad and the lyrics are really sweet, if not a little sad. Despite the intro sounding very similar to Obviously.

Little Joanna - A real sweet ballad with great vocals. And a few weird "Bum ba bums" on the end!

Friday Night - Slightly rockier than the rest of the album, Harry's drumming really stands out in this song. I don't know what it is but I really like this song.

Walk In The Sun - Acoustic sounding ballad. Not one of my faves on the album but I think it'll grow on me, it's good to relax to!

Home Is Where The Heart Is - Really good to sing along to, I'm glad they put this song on the album.

Oh, a couple more things; there's a "hidden track" which is just the live version of Silence Is A Scary Sound. Again. And it comes in a weird CD case with rounded edges that is kinds awkward to get into!

Welcome to the black parade...

My Chemical Romance have come a long way since I last blogged about them. They're currently at number one in the UK top 40 for the second week. And that is something that would not have happened this time last year. They also have an arena tour lined up for March next year. They're even being featured in The Sun. Who knows what could happen next!

To the point - "The Black Parade" is MCR's third album. It's a concept album about a guy called "The Patient" who is dying tragically young. And After hearing some of the tracks when they previewed them for the first time back in August at a gig I went to, I wasn't sure if I'd like it. But I do, very much!

At first play it sounds completely different to their last album, but then that album was different to the one before. But once you get into it there's no mistaking it's My Chemical Romance. My faves have to be "I don't love you", "House of wolves" and "Teenagers".

Can't wait to see more of it live on 11th November!

Next albums I'm planning to buy:
McFly - Motion in the Ocean (out 06.11.06)
Matt Willis - Matt Willis (out 20.11.06)

Apologies

Wow, I just realised that I never quite got around to finishing my last post all those months ago. Sorry about that. I was looking at my MySpace profile and saw I have the link to this blog up and figured I should really start updating.

So I'm back.

I probably won't post as much as I used to because I'm busy with my third year uni work and stuff, but I'll try to keep it going.

I think I might review the new MCR album I bought yesterday. But not now. Keep checking back.

More Matt

Hmmm, so no one replied to my last post, I guess no ones reading...but I'll carry on anyway becuase I've enjoyed it.

Yesterday I met Mr Matthew Willis (See proof above!) in Guildford. Farnham does have its advantages after all! Anyway, Matt's debut solo single Up All Night (which I believe i already mentioned) came out on Monday. And the extra tracks are prety good so here's a little review for you all:

Rock Ya, CD1.
Review to come

Can I Come Too, Limited Edition CD2.
Review to come

Overrated, Limited Edition CD2.
Review to come

"So long and goodnight..."

This could be my last post for a while, as it's my deadline tomorrow. But I'd be interested to know if anyone's reading my blog? And whether it'll me worth me carrying on, because I've enjoyed it.

I stumbled across this blog: music for robots, which I just want to mention quickly. It features reviews of new music. I like the way it incorporates news about the artist into the reviews. I also like the layout.

I also read an interesting post on Neil McIntosh's blog about how Myspace is a "click factory" and could benefit from some changes. I wonder if that'll ever happen...

This week i've mainly been listening to: My Chemicl Romance and Panic! At the Disco. I hadn't listened to MCR for a while but after seeing them on Saturday I remembered why I like them so much and have been listening to both their first album, I brought you my bullets, you brought me your love and their second album Three cheers for sweet revenge.

Oh, one thing I have to mention after seeing them somewhere earlier. What is with the Pussycat Dolls (or pussychav dolls as my housemate named them)? I really can't see the point of having a song that's just full of beeps! As for don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me or whatever it's called. It's one of those songs that I dislike when I first hear it, except the rest of the world loves it and it just gets played all the time like it's haunting me! And what's with the name anyway!?

Okay, rant over. Until next time...

Give it a Name!

Once again I've had a little break in posting, but don't worry because I've got a treat for you today:



Give it a Name 2006 review!

Now if you don't know what it is, it's an all day gig that took place In London and Manchester this weekend, I however only went yesterday to London.

If you're particularly interested, here's the full line up:

1.30 : TAINT
2.15 : THE HONORARY TITLE
2.45 : THE BLED
3.20 : PARAMORE
3.55 : UNDEROATH
4.30 : DRIVE BY
5.05 : PANIC! AT THE DISCO
5.40 : MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN
6.15 : THRICE
6.50 : BILLY TALENT
7.25 : ATREYU
8.30 : THE ATARIS
9.30 : MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
10.30 FINISH!!!!!

There's a couple of bands in there that I hadn't heard of before and a couple that I'm not particularly a fan of so I didn't watch every single band.

The first band I watched were The Honorary Title, who I've admittedly never heard of before. They weren't too bad. Acoustic and quite indie sounding. I'd listen to their music when I'm relaxing.

I didn't watch The Bled, they're too screamo for me.

I did like Paramore. I think they're my type of music. They're the only band on the whole line up with a female lead singer. Their performance involved the audience clapping a lot but none the less was very enjoyable. I'm even thinking about getting their album, or "record" as they like to put it being American.

Underoath to be honest I can't remember because I was pretty much just waiting for Panic! at the Disco. Plus they were on the the main stage and I was a bit stuck in front of the smaller one.

That did mean I had a good view for Drive by when they came on. I quite like Drive by. I've seen them as a support act before but I don't usually take any notice of support bands! They're good live though, and the music's not band. Good old rock music, not too heavy and none of the screaming.

Next up: Panic! at the disco. They were on the main stage too and I couldn't quite manage to get in front of it. They were still great. They don't mess around though. No chit chat in between songs like most bands, they didn't introduce themselves until the last song! They don't sound a lot different to the album apart from a few lyric changes on the odd song. They seemed quite popular with the crowd as I could hear quite a few people singing along. Was good to see them so soon after becoming a fan.

Men women and children were, how shall I put it...interesting! Quite different to any of the other bands. My friend's a massive fan but I'm not sure. The most memorable part of their performance was the song in which they sing something like "We're monkey, monkey men and we really are your friends" to which the audience had to respond "We're monkeys, we're monkeys, we're monkeys". If you say so!

Sorry but I didn't watch Thrice, Billy Talent or Atreyu either.

We decided it'd be a good idea to get a good place during The Ataris. They seemed quite popular with the crowd. The security must have hated the lead singer though because he decided to jump off the stage and try and crowd surf.

Then finally, what I'd been waiting for all day. My Chemical Romance. They were everything I expected, and more. But their set wasn't very long, but I guess nor was any of the other bands. I'm a bit disappointed the didn't do Head first for Halos as it's amazing live. But I guess they were short on time. According to Gerard it was the first gig they'd done in 4 months but it seemed liked they'd never been away. The crowd seemed pretty happy. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a fan, they were the headliner. Definitely my fave act of the day. Didn't think much of Gerard's English accent though!

Oh, speaking of English accents, there wasn't one English band!

My Chemical Romance

I know they're not new to me but how could I not review one of my fave bands when I'm going to see them in just over a week!

Now, they're not everyone's cup of tea and normally they wouldn't be mine, but after I saw them live I was hooked. And I shall be seeing them for the fifth time next week. There's just something about them when they perform live. The lead singer Gerard, can have the crowd in the palm of his hands and they'll do anything he says. They always put on a good show and I can't wait.

Ok so that wasn't strictly a review but I had to get a mention in! If you haven't already, check them out.

World at their feet?

I'm running out of people to review...or music that's new anyway. Who'd have thought it, there must be thousands of bands and artists out there! So I had a look around, and thought about what's in the news at the moment, and what did I come up with? Embrace's World Cup Anthem for England, World at your Feet.

Don't ask me why I think this but it does sound very much like a world cup song! Catchy, easy to sing a long to and I can imagine it being sung by thousands of football fans (the chorus at least). It's not something I would listen but it serves it's purpose. I read that it stands a chance of being Embrace's first UK number one single. Good luck to them. Even if it doesn't quite make it to number one, it's associated with England and the World Cup, so it's bound to do fairly well.

Fall Out Boy

Love them or hate them? My friend saw them as a support band a few years ago and couldn't stand them and since being at home this Easter my brother's been playing a few of their songs. But I can't make up my mind.

I've heard a few of their songs, and as I said my brother's been playing them and my boyfriend likes Dance Dance. I've gotta admit the music's catchy and as you may have guessed I'm a bit of a sucker for a catchy song. I must admit, I do like Sugar we're goin' down. Parts of it remind me of Panic! At The Disco, but I can't make out why. They have pop punk sound, similar to Good Charlotte with plenty of guitars and drums.

I don't know a lot about them but they have an almost sold out UK tour next month, so I guess that can't be bad?

Matt's back!

Recognise this guy? That's right, it's Matt Willis, former member of Busted. I know what you're all thinking, but Matt's back. Charlie Simpson has Fightstar, James Bourne has Son of Dork. And 16 months after Busted split, Matt's going solo. His first single, Up All Night is due out May 22nd.

It's slightly rockier than Busted, but I'd still call it pop. While it does have that Busted vibe about it, and no doubt anything they do is going to be compared, it has its own sound. The song suits Matt's voice. It's upbeat, catchy and yes, I like it. I think it has the potential to do quite well in the charts. But you never can tell these days.

I also happen to have heard another of Matt's songs. It's called Broken. I don't know if it'll be on his album or not. But it's a nice rock ballad with plenty of soft guitars and a good drum beat. It's a beautiful song, if not a little sad. I'm definitely a fan.

And guess what? Matt's got himself a MySapce page. Take a look to hear clips of a few of his tracks.

Picture taken from Matt Willis' MySpace page.

Where's the pleasure with you?

Firstly, apologies for the break in posting. I've had a very busy week and haven't had a chance to get online. But now I'm back and I'm going to make up for it. Shall we say a review every day this week? I'll see what I can do.

So, I said I was going to try and find new music via the internet and so far I've used internet music shops to buy CDs, I've used MySpace and band websites and also websites that create "radio stations" with music you like.

Any other ways I can find music? Good old word of mouth! A friend of mine has been recommending Protocol to me and pretty much anyone who'll listen for months. And its worked. I've heard a bit of their single, Where's the pleasure, and have been meaning to check out more of their music for a while. So that's what I did. I popped over to their official website for a listen.

The first song I listen to was Where's the pleasure, which is one of those songs: once you listen to it, you can't get it out of your head! The beginning sounds a bit like Franz Ferdinand, but once the vocals kick in, it has a unique sound. The vocals are very distinctive, especially the chorus line "Where's the pleasure with you?" The tune is also extremely catchy.

I had a bit of a problem getting the music to play on the website so I went to their page on faithful MySpace. There I listened to a remix of Love is my drug. It starts off quite dancey, but I guess that's the remix? Again it was quite catchy once the vocals started. It sounds like something I've heard before but I can't quite think what. Not sure what genre I'd put them into but it's quite poppy. The sound of the vocals make their songs quite unique and the songs are catchy, the type that makes you want to dance.

Favourite song I listened to: Deborah: Fast and catchy with a good beat.

McIntosh and Murdoch

My Online Journalism class had the pleasure of a visit from the Deputy Editor of Guardian Unlimited, Neil McIntosh this week. I found it really interesting to hear from someone who works in the business, and has his own blog.

He talked to us about podcasts. I didn't know a lot about podcasts until he spoke to us. Guardian Unlimited not long along launched their own podcasts and they're planning something special around the time of the world cup. He also happened to mention that a certain tabloid newspaper once recorded one of their podcasts in a loo!

One other thing I found particularly interesting, as a regular user of the site, was what he said about MySpace. He said that he has no idea why Rupert Murdoch bought MySpace, as he doesn't think he'll make any money out of it. I did wonder what Murdoch would want with MySpace.

Crazy!

Something happened this Sunday that has never happened before. The song that went to number one wasn't even in the shops yet. Yes that's right, it went to number one the day before the CD was avaliable to buy, so it got there purely by the amount of downloads.

I first read about this last Thursday then I saw a report aboit it on BBC news the same night. And I've got to say I've never heard of Gnarls Barkley, or heard the song, Crazy, before that day. And I can't say I particularly like it either.

This is a pretty major thing for the music business though.

So is this proof that downloading is becoming more popular than actually going out and buying a CD? Only time will tell...

Create your own radio station

Last.fm was recommended to me by my lecturer Jim. It's another one of those sites like pandora where you can create your own radio station, but it's a bit more advanced.

You have to register before you can listen. And unlike pandora you don't have to live in America to be able to. You have to download a programme which sends the songs you listen to on your computer to last.fm. This forms your "profile" which other people can view and also so it plays the music you like. You can also create your own radio station (again like pandora) by typing in a band you like, and they will play similar music. You can say if you love a song or to ban a song. You can also do all sort of things like add tags to songs, join groups and listen to other peoples stations.

Took me a little while to get to grips with it but great for music lovers I'd say.

Don't Panic!

In my post the other day I mentioned Panic! At The Disco dot com. I thought I may as well do a little review.

First you come to an advert for their current US tour, and you have to click a link (which isn't immediately obvious) below it to enter the actual site. It takes a little while to load but why it does you get an animation type thing as if you're going up in a lift. Once it does load you enter a 3D "living room".

It took me a little while to realise how you get anywhere. There's a little box near the bottom of the page where you have to type in a destination, and you can hover over the "?" next to it to see where you want to go. Once you type in a destination and press enter, it takes you on a little tour of the apartment to get there. You have to hover over things to see if they do anything and not everything listed does. The site is very high-tech and looks good but I found it hard to find any of the actual content.

Is comment free?

Generally blogs are just a place where people write down what they've done that day or how they're feeling, I for one have an online journal. But some people use them for different purposes. For example this blog was started as part of a uni module to help develop my online journalism skills. But can they be used to talk to the mainstream media?

Many a well established journalist has been brought down by bloggers. Dan Rather was an American news anchor on the CBS Evening News. In 2004 Dan made public some documents concerning president George Bush's Texas Air National Guard service. These documents were later found to be forged after much ctiticism from bloggers such as RatherGate. Dan took early retirement a few months later.

So journalists beware, bloggers are after you!

Although plenty of journalists have blogs too these days. The Guardian has just started a blog called comment is free. And this was based on Adrianna Huffington's Blog at the Huffington Post. So could blogs soon be an as popular as the main stream media? Who knows.

Blog again.

Now last week I said I was going to try and update more often. Unfortunately that didn't go to plan as I've had a busy week, but I am going to try again.

Although I have found out something about Pandora that I didn't know last week; after you've listened to so much music they want you to register to carry on listening. Fair enough cos you can still listen for free. One problem. You can only register if you live in America. If I'd known that I wouldn't have skipped all the tracks I didn't like.

On the upside I bought the Panic! At the Disco album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, today. I wasn't sure about buying it just from hearing one song as it seems pointless having an album you don't really like. But after hearing more of it at the weekend I thought I would like it. And Luckily I do. It's full of songs with really long names such as There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it Yet.

The sticker on the front of the CD case says:

Panic's catchy melodies are quite literally some of the most likeable songs you will hear all year. . .

which was taken from Spin.com. I'd agree with this. Although the songs are all pretty short (in time not title) they are all catchy. I'd like to tell you they sound like someone to give you more of an idea what they sound like but I can't think of anyone because they're fairly unique. Their MySpace page describes their music as rock/big beat/techno. Take from that what you will.

One more thing, they have a pretty interesting website. Take a look.

Picture taken from amazon.com

Rathergate!

Who is Dan Rather?

Many websites started up at the time when the George Bush story emerged, including: RatherGate and Rather Biased.

Also see this blog and these posts from Little Green Footballs: Bush praises blogosphere, Old pros tricked by blogs and Liberal journalists are from Mars…?

Interesting music sites

Firstly, Karen suggested Pandora to me last week. So I checked it out and I think it's a really good idea for a site. Basically, you type in a band or a song you like and it finds similar songs and adds them to a "radio station".

It even remembers previous radio stations when you return to Pandora (from the same computer). And if you don't like the music it plays you can tell it so and then it doesn't play that song again. A great way to find new music similar to what you like. Thanks Karen.

I also stumbled across another site. It's basically one of those sites that features lots of lists of other websites, so not necessarily a true website in itself. But its got links to everything to do with music you can think of: artist sites, instruments, news, reviews and even history. Could come in handy.

If anyone knows of any other good music sites, let me know. I'm going to try and start updating more too.

Links

I've put up some new links in my links bar. Check them out if you've got a spare minute or so.

Are lectures really necessary?

When you can just watch Quizmania? Don't bother getting up early for your lectures, just stay up late and watch Quizmanina instead. All students are talking about it. And you can win money too. However, I've watched it once and none of the answers I thought of were right, and then I got bored.

Could Germaine Greer be right? We should all just have our lectures on DVD. At least then we'd be able to have them whenever we wanted and have a lie in after being up watching Quizmania until stupid o clock in the morning. Because let's face it, we've all done it at least once.

Student TV is back! The presenters might be really annoying but it's strangely addictive once you start watching it and you just have to carry on watching to find out what the answers are! ITV are even launching their own channel dedicated to quizzes and call ins. So it must be popular then. That'll be all the students.

I prefer Deal or No Deal myself.

Back to music. . .

So I thought a good way as any other to find new music was on MySpace. So the other day I decided to search MySpace music for something good. I came across Panic! At the disco. A lot of my mates have been talking about them lately and I know my brother likes them so I thought I'd check it out. The song The Only Difference on their profile is pretty catchy and quite funky. Different to what I'd normally listen to but I like it. Just don't tell my brother that.

And yes I'm a little bit addicted to MySpace, sad I know.

What is the world coming to?

Or rather America. Thanks to the Daily Mirror I found out that James Blunt has gone to number one in the singles chart (and his album top 5) in the States. Surely they have more taste than that? I know, I know, each to their own and all that. But did it have to be with that song? I'm just glad I'm not there and don't have to put up with it being over played - probably the reason I dislike it so much.

On a more serious note, talking about this whole "biggest burglary in Britain". Also in the Mirror today there was a story about that. It says that they've found £30m of the £53m that was stolen from the security deopt in Kent. I guess this story interests me as I'm from Kent. And I think someone my brother knows works there.

Also it's interesting because at first they thought the robbery was carried out by experienced robbers but it doesn't seem that way anymore. They may have got away with it in the beginning but it doesn't seem like they will in the long run. It seems they've already caught some of them, let's hope they all get caught soon. Scary stuff.

Broadening my horizons. . .

so to speak! I decided I'm going to try and listen to a new band or artist every week, for the purposes of my blog because it should give me somthing to write about. Any suggestions let me know but don't get annoyed if I don't like your fave band!

Blogs to riches

Is it possible to make money from a simple blog just like this? According to Clive Thompson from the New York Metro it can be. Proved by Pete Rojas who made millions when AOL bought Weblogs which included his blog Engadget. Interesting article, although very long even if it is separated onto six pages.

According to Clive there are three different types of blogger; The accidental tourist, the record label approach and the Boutiquie approach. The most common being the accidental tourist. This is any normal person like you or me simply starting a blog for fun, but then it becomes more popular than you could hope.

It seems that blogs become popular by other bloggers linking them. The more links a blog has to it the more likely it is to be in the A-list of blogs, a bit like celebrities. Bit of a weird concept if you ask me but someone actually took the time to do this!

To actually make money you have to get into advertising on your blog and it all gets a bit complicated. But who knows, if your blog gets that many visitors you could make money from it.

Why do people use the internet?

The Oxford Internet Institute is a site dedicated to researching internet usage. It has a very long PDF on how many people have the internet in their homes, how often they use it etc. Useful if that's what you want to know, but it could take a while to read through it all.

It's no surprise that more people have the internet in their homes now, more than even two years ago. It's much more accessable these days: easier to use, quicker and cheaper. The most popular use of the internet is to check emails, which makes sense. I guess a lot of people just have an email address but don't do much else. Of course there are many more uses, and everyone uses the net for different purposes, so you're always going to reach someone.

Where is Raed?

(Work for online journlism 17/02/06)

The where is raed? blog isn't the sort of thing I would normally read. I found this really interesting though. It doesn't seem to be written like anything else I've read about Iraq. It's written in a more relaxed way, almost like a diary. It makes it easier to read. I would say that it could pass as journalism, as it is very informative. I found it interesting to read. It's a different view of what was happening in baghdad.

It started as a way of Raed keeping in touch with Salem Pax and then was just written by Pax. One post stood out in which the Baghdad blogger is trying to get in touch with Salem Pax. After that there are no more posts from Raed. It would be interesting to find out what happened to him.

(continued)

(continued from previous post, because it doesn’t seem to want to post it all and keeps cutting out half of what I write).

. . .myspace music page, and I’m glad I did. I guess you could call her music girly pop rock. There’s a good mixture ballads and more upbeat rocky songs on the album. My faves are probably LaLa and Unreachable. Sounds a bit like Avril Lavigne in places, only better. Definitely worth a listen, although more for the girls I’d say, unless like my brother you fancy her.

So, it was the Brits last night (although it’s on TV right now). Kaiser Chiefs did alright for themselves. All I can say is I’m glad that James Blunt’s so called beautiful song didn’t win best single, because I hate that song. Although Coldplay did and I don’t see what the fuss is about there either, is it just me? Oh no, that song’s on now, help! (At least it was the first time I typed this).

Me, Ashlee Simpson and the Brits.

Just thought I should let you know a bit about what music I'm into. I'm pretty much open to anything. I mean, my two favourite bands are McFly and My Chemical Romance and you can't really get much more different than that. Except drum and bass. I can't stand drum and bass music, just so you know.

For the last week or so i've mostly been listening to Ashlee Simpson's first album, Autobiography. I say first album because she brought out a new one recently. If you're not sure who she is, she's the sister of the probably slightly more famous Jessica Simpson (star of Newlyweds on MTV). I meant to get this album when it first came out but for some reason I didn't. I decided to finally get it after coming across her...
