My top fav Arctic Monkeys songs.

Everyone human loves Arctic Monkeys... They are just one of those bands who just 'fit all'. It's hard for me to try and limit myself to a top five but here goes...

1)

Fluorescent Adolescent - I'm pretty sure this song is loved by almost everybody. We all know how great being young is and having fun but yeah this song reminds us it isn't always going to be like that.
The beat and tune of the song is very upbeat and I love Alex's choice of words and metaphors such as 'Was it a mecca dober or a betting pencil'.
A pretty flawless song really...

2)

Mardy Bum - This is one of my personal favourites, it perhaps isn't one of the bands most popular songs but it's still a gooden!

I don't actually even know why it's one of my favourites...maybe because I'm always mardy?

Who knows...







3)

The View From The Afternoon - This is definitely one of the bands more 'rockier' tunes.
Somehow it always gets me in the right mood, especially when I'm going out...
I really like the guitar playing in the song...
I just think that the song is really relevant and applicable to us all...

Bascially we've all done the whole 'getting drunk and sending lots of text messages thing'...

4)

Why do you only call me when you're high? -

Duh this was obvs going to be on the list. Like how hot does Alex look in the video?
Not only that but it's another relatable video! He portays extremely well what you feel like when you are totally wasted and again with the whole drunk texting/calling thing - Just spot on (Y)







5)

Brianstorm - It was really really hard for me to pick my fifth song but yeah I went for this one...

To be honest I think I just like the simplicity of the song... it's very simple.

Brian is a douche, who pulls loads of women.

That's it.




I'm aware these five songs have been a very random combination and maybe on another day it might have been different. But what won't ever change is my love for Arctic Monkeys! Peace out. 

Glastonbury tickets sold out in thirty minutes but who's headlining?

Glastonbury is one of the worlds most popular music festivals but what makes this Somerset event so highly rated?

Over the years headliners have ranged from 'The Who' to 'The Killers and 'U2' to 'Arctic Monkeys'. Always having great headliners has significantly increased the reputation of the five day festival. So really it's no surprised that the event sold out in thirty minutes this year without a clue of the artists and bands set to perform.

Although nothing has been confirmed the bookies favourite to headline for 2016 is Coldplay. The band have a new album due to be released this month (October) titled a headful of dreams. This will be the bands seventh album and possibly their concluding release as it's rumoured Chris Martin has said the group are in their latter days. If this is the case, what better way to end things than with a bang at Glastonbury?

After Dave Grohl broke his leg in Sweden and had to pull out of Glastonbury 2015, Foo Fighters are another favourite to headline the festival. Festival managers have said they would love to have the band back. So lets just hope Dave doesn't go getting anymore injury's in the mean time!

A third and final rumour to perform at Glastonbury is Adele. Although the singer/ songwriter hasn't released anything since 2011 the artist supposedly has a new album coming out this November. If this album is as good as her previous albums '19' & '21' then boy, G fest has to have her there!

Over the next few months Glastonbury should be confirming their performers, until then we will all have to sit tight and wait!

Here's some Coldplay in the mean time :)

New York Singer/ Songwriter Lana Del Rey releases video for new single 'Music to Watch Boys to'.

This new video can be classed as 'typically Del Rey'. Throughout most of the video we see Lana lounging around in black and white with flowery headphones, portraying naïve female attributes of innocence and adoration of what we presume to be silhouettes of men playing basketball.

Del Reys fascination for men can relate with all females but particularly in this video. The use of flamingos shows the vulnerability and delicacy of girls, in contrast to other videos such as 'Born To Die' where tigers are used to show the power and dominant side of a woman.

Former track 'This is what makes us girls' carrys a similar theme of the how easily friendship between girls can be destroyed simply by the natural desire for the opposite sex.  The distraction of watching the boys seems to make the girls more and more powerless. We see them possibly drowning in a swimming pool and I think this is Del Rey interpreting visually the loss of control and weakness that can come from the compelling yearning for boys and perhaps a warning to look out for each other as she's had her fair share of bad boys.

This is just a few words from me on my favourite artist. I'm not a journalist so feel free to critique. I'm learning...
Please check out Lana's new video and the new album!! xx
