When I got home on Thursday night I was filled with adrenaline. It had been a year, 7 months and 30 days since I last shot a live music gig, that was the Cutaways last show, before that was another 4 months 3 days; the Belfast4Haiti epic event. It seems I’ve missed shooting live shows [...]

One of the greatest songs: Come with me And you’ll be In a world of Pure imagination Take a look And you’ll see Into your imagination We’ll begin With a spin Traveling in The world of my creation What we’ll see Will defy Explanation If you want to view paradise Simply look around and view [...]

For next year I may attempt to learn how to find the adjectives for music albums, for now a list will have to do. The following records are completely ingrained in my mind having been listened to many numerous times, including having seen a few of the bands live. It’s a beautiful thing how obsessed [...]

I’m not a particularly fan of Ani DiFranco, though I found myself listening to Not a Pretty Girl (1996) in the last few days, and this song in particular made me stop and listen. Known for her staccato sing style; it’s that which bugs me most about her. The words are spoken too fast. She [...]

You’ll probably know the song Never Stop [YouTube] from the iPad T.V. ads.

Although I enjoying knowing the real meaning behind things; why songs were written, what a film means etc., we interpret things differently and take our own meaning from them. I’ve enjoyed the music of Lifehouse for many years, occasionally dipping in and out of their melancholic sound, recently I’ve found myself listening to Stanley Climbfall [...]

I was introduced to The National by Valérie-Anne back in May. I immediately fell in love. So many wonderful songs. Make me go all funny inside. One of my many favourites: The National — Green Gloves Falling out of touch with all my friends are somewhere getting wasted, hope they’re staying glued together, I have [...]

It doesn’t really bother me as much as it should that Sufjan Stevens is a Christian; simply put, his music is mind-blowing. Regardless of his 2006 5-CD Christmas Songs collection (which certainly isn’t bad) and numerous biblical references on other releases, particularly those of Seven Swans [2004], his music speaks volumes, and a voice that [...]

I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I left for France, on a slightly hectic, but immensely fun ten day break, now time to get writing about it and get some of the photos up. First stop was La Route Du Rock — the very reason myself and Valérie-Anne decided to go to [...]
