And reminisce of times gone by...
That is a lyric from "new" band Longview. I saw an advert on the TV and although I don't usually buy on impulse this one seemed like it would be a cracker. The review that said "Reminiscent of Joshua Tree-era U" by Q clinched it for me, as that album is a favourite of mine.
And the album I have to say doesn't disappoint. The best tune, from which that is a line, is "Further" and if you get a chance have a listen. My suggestions would be "Further", "Can't Explain" and "I Would" for a taster. They are playing at the Academy 2 in Manchester which was a great venue for live music as you are so close to the artists. Hopefully going to snare a few tickets and go late in the year. In the meantime visit the website and have a listen. Good music!
Keeping on the theme of good music. Tonight me, Charlotte and J are heading off to see James Blunt, at Academy 1 this time, and I am really looking forward to that one, as there isn't a bad song on the album, "Back to Bedlam". He is quite mainstream now but hopefully won't go to poppy!
It has been a very good year for mucic and I have managed to get to alot of gigs. Two of the biggest bands in the world, U2 and REM (at the City of Manchester Stadium and Old Trafford Cricket Ground respectivley) were awesome. Those guys were supported by smaller bands like Idlewild and Snowpatrol who are good acts in their own right.
Maroon 5 also played at the Manchester Apollo earlier in the year and like James Blunt there isn't really a bad song on the album. The lead singer Adam Levine is also a very good entertainer which helps! I am a very big fan of live music! We also managed to catch Gavin DeGraw at the Academy 2 and that was a good gig as he has a very powerful voice.
And it won't stop there! Charlotte and I are going to see Rooster at the Manchester Apollo next Friday. They have 2 or 3 very catchy tunes so will be a good feel good gig I think!
I have added a list to the right, with a few of my all time favourite bands and also, the sort of stuff I am listening to at the moment, old and new! Enjoy!
