Hmmmm

I actually really like Katy Perry's song California Girls. Is that wrong!? It's just very catchy and summery. Not so sure about Snoop Dog's rap in the middle but hey.

Also, I finally got around to listening to Pixie Lott's album and I really like it, I'd recommend it if you like any of her songs.

That's all for now, just a short post to let you know I'm still blogging here!

My recent music buys

I thought I'd do a little post on what music I've been listening to recently. The last three CDs I bought are "Everybody wants to be on TV" by Scouting For Girls, "Hold me down" by You Me At Six and "Turn it Up" by Pixie Lott.

I'll be honest, I haven't haven't got around to listening to Pixie Lott just yet. I really like "Everybody wants to be on TV". If you liked Scouting For Girls first album then I'd recommend you buy this one too. It's very similar. Still the same catchy tracks and fun cheeky lyrics. No favourite tracks as yet.

After hearing "Underdog" and "Liquid Confidence" on Radio 1 and liking them I decided to buy "Hold me down". Don't tell my friend though because she hates You Me At Six! But everyone has different tastes and I've grown to like them, and I'm glad I bought it. I also got "Take off your colours". I didn't like this quite as much, the songs aren't as catchy. I think I'm a sucker for a catchy track!

Just a short entry, I'm so bad at real reviews, plus it's a bit hard when you're not actually listening to the CD. I'll do better next time!

Pixie Lott

I'm thinking about getting her album. I quite like a few of the songs, "Cry Me Out" being my fave. Can anyone recommend it or not?

That's all!

Twitter

So Twitter's a big thing these days. It's not only your friends you can keep up-to-date with, but also radio DJs, TV stars, popstars and even movie stars!

I think we all know how it works, you post short updates on what you're doing, thinking or feeling. And you can also add photos or aim it specifically at someone you're following using their @ username. I didn't join at first because I didn't see what the fuss was about, but I caved in the end. I must admit, it can be quite addictive. Mostly I'll only update one or twice a day, but if I'm annoyed about something or just if I'm bored or replying to people it might be more. I think I've made just over 600 "tweets". If you're interested, check me out: @jodie_says

Okay, so the purpose of this post wasn't to talk about me, but about my favourite musical tweeters! I follow people from all the McFly guys to Lily Allen to Paramore.

One of my favourite by far has got to be Tom from McFly. He tweets about anything and everything. At the moment this includes a lot about McFly recording their new album, which of course makes me happy. He also tweets a lot about his random dreams and lots of cute photos of his cat!

Anyone else I should be following?

Long time no see...again!

So I was thinking about this blog the other day and here I am, back for a few more posts at least. Hopefully I'll try and keep it up this time!

Last night was a big date in the British music calendar...the BRIT awards! Check out a full list of the winners and who they beat, and see if you agree. Unsurprisingly Lady Gaga won three awards. I'm sorry but I just don't like her. When "Just Dance" came out I quite liked it, "Paparazzi" I can stand, but "Bad Romance" I can't stand. I actually have to turn the radio over if it comes on. There's something about the whole "Gaga oh la la..." part at the beginning that I just can't stand. I know I'm in a minority with that feeling!

I'm glad JLS won a couple of awards too. They're done really well since coming second to Alexandra Burke on the X Factor in 2008. I've got their album and I really like it.

I'm also pleased Lily Allen got Best British female solo artist. As I've mentioned in a previous post I'm quite partial to her latest album.

I can't comment on any of the performances or acceptance speeches because I didn't actually watch the ceremony, but the Daily Mail Online give a good overview of it all.

Until next time, whenever that may be!
