If you walk away, I'll walk away

So i know that Bright Eyes have not produced anything new since "Cassadaga" but in this frail and alone state that washes through me at the moment i feel that they are the perfect side order to go with a broken heart.

"I'm wide awake and it's morning" is the country epilogue of angst, depression and a delicate aggression. The light strumming of an acoustic guitar wallowing amongst the wise and heart pouring lyrics of a depressed alcoholic who is too wise for his own personal safety.

Each lyric is carefully crafted by tools of pain and agony, yet beneath these seemingly attacking thoughts, there does lie irony and a berieved pleasure of experiencing such anger.

The Music - upcoming tour

I will be attending two stops on the music's new intimate tour next week. Leeds and London. The euphoric foursome a certainly back with a hurricane of noise and a fist full of fury. The reviews will be up asap.

The Kooks - Mr Maker

The new album, "konk", is due in April and expect a little more diversity from the Brighton pop troppers. This jumpy little number is "Mr Maker" from their performance at the infamous Trobadour in L.A, the birth place of 70's california folk music.

Vampire Weekend

This squealy foursome have produced quite the brilliant self-titled album which enfuses influences from a number of worldy traits. Quirky and jittery sounds marinate amongst the pointy edges of a distortion absent guitar to conquor a hill of simplicity.

Basic beats, vivid violins and homely lyrical handshakes make the stop-start structure of this musical narrative a comforting fire place of delicate indie.

Manchester Mayhem

So the Courteeners have been feeding my mind with whimsical wisdom recently. Their gritty and yet seemingly poppy tales of scensters and the shallow minded musical mugs who infect myspace among other corporate institutions are pleasing me no end.

At the moment i cannot remove the foot stamping banging of "Fallowfield Hillbilly" from my cranium and there is no denying that "Acrylic" is one of the best songs of 2008.

Liam Fray's elegant arrogance is actually quite charming and the man has reason to be perched up on his pedestal of pride. The swagger of Jagger and the ability of a concocted brit-rock future icon make this man a walking ad for straight up stella drenched rock an roll.

The Courteeners are playing Southampton univerity of April 25th which is a scheduled riot on the calender and despite the beer launching, fred perry clad skin heads who will be attending i am looking fucking forward to rucking it up.
