Paramore - Now

Here it is! 

Love it, have it on repeat. It's got beats, Hayley's amazing powerful voice (although in parts I do think she could have belted it out a bit more), catchy lyrics and lovely guitar riffs with all the shouty angst of youth that we have all come to expect from Paramore. Comparing it to the others that have been before, it seems more polished and together, maybe not as raw as some of their older tracks, which do make them better, I'm hoping that this will all come on the album. 

I already had it stuck in my head this morning whilst in the shower! 

Enjoy... 

New Paramore tomorrow, excited much?!

Those who know me well, will know that I am a BIG fan of Paramore. Before the dubstep, before the love of Jay-Z, before Drake, before being obsessed with Annie Mac, before Hype Machine, before Ecelectricity, there was Paramore. And there will always be Paramore. Because hiding away there will always be a lil bit of that angsty emo with the side swept fringe, listening to crushcrushcrush on repeat in the car singing my heart out, or belting out Misery Business with my good friend Kimberley Polmeer, in Tom's bedroom, in 3rd Year of Uni, on rock band. Yip. 

A set list of the new 4th album has already been released, although we will have to eagerly await until the 9th April before it gets released in it's entirety. 17 tracks. What a treat. 

iTunes Top 25 Played doesn't lie... and clearly my alliance lies somewhere in the middle of Paramore and Jay Z... 

So the news that a.) there is a new single out tomorrow and b.) there is a fourth album out in April excites me so much you do not even know. 

They have released this teaser video a few weeks or so ago.. 




Cannot. Wait. I shall have my ear firmly pressed to the internet tomorrow.

For now, for old times sake... 

New Paramore... Best. News. Ever.

They just tweeted this link to their blog of a teaser of what they have been upto in the studio. New single 'NOW' out on the 22nd January and new album out 6th April. My emo-self just came out of the cave she has been hiding in for the past 6 years. So excited! Copy and paste the link below into your browser window (am posting this from bed on my iphone and the blogger app leaves me somewhat wanting) Happy Frickin' Saturday!

Twilight - the end of an era...

If you don't like anything Twilight related this is all going to sound quite wanky so you have been warned. Don't get me wrong I'm not gonna get all gushy and obsessy. I'm not like that. But you can't hide from the fact that it has been a cult through the last 6 years, and most of the people I know have been caught up in it at some point. And guys, we know you have watched it too, and you can say that it was a pile of crap but more fool you for sitting through 5 films if you really 'hated' it that much. 

I remember watching the first film not knowing much about any of it to be honest, and then coming out of the cinema, and just falling in love with all of it. That feeling you get when you come out of the cinema and are just like, wow. The story, the soundtrack, and yes good old Rob. Us Buffy fans had been looking for something to fill that vampire shaped hole since it left our teenage angsty lives back in college and this fit it perfectly. 

The soundtrack got me the most, I almost looked forward to it as much as I did waiting for the films to come out. Paramore, Muse, The Black Keys, Band of Skulls, Death Cab for Cutie, Bon Iver, James Vincent McMorrow, Bruno Mars, Passion Pit, OKGO, Angus and Julia Stone. Serious names. Honestly, just listen to the albums as seperate compilations of songs and they are awesome. 

Some of my faves are below, some obvious tracks, some surprises if you haven't listened to them before... 

James Vincent McMorrow - Ghosts (Breaking Dawn Part 2) 




Bruno Mars - It Will Rain (Breaking Dawn Part 1)




Bon Iver & St. Vincent - Roslyn (New Moon)



OKGO - Shoot The Moon (New Moon)



Death Cab For Cutie - Meet Me On The Equinox (New Moon)



Anya Marina - Satellite Heart (New Moon)



And who can forget Paramore - Decode (Twilight)

If my life had a soundtrack....Song #01...

Love it how songs can take you back to a moment and you can picture exactly where you were, exactly what you were doing and exactly who you were with. 

Gonna keep this up until I run out or get bored, whatever comes first.
