I'm so late on this blogging bandwagon i've pretty much fallen off, but it must be spoken of. The. Stone. Roses. Are. Back. I wont lie, I cried after I found out. Well it was while I sat in my room listening to their glory days, but I wanna be adored and I am the resurrection are enough to induce tears at the best of times and then she bangs the drums is a full on emotional break down of happiness. They were the band who changed the face of english music with one gloriously exciting album and one that went a bit tits up in the eyes of the reviewer. They inspired bands like oasis and the maccabees and they were leaders. They led the next generation of music. and yeah some people might say they were given too much credit for a band with such a little discography but everything they did was golden. Despite the mass consensus I think their second album was alright, it had some tunes on it, i love tears and ten storey love song. so fuck you. And yeah i'm excited about the rumoured new material because I do actually think it'd be good, and no I don't really care if the only reason they're doing a reunion is for the money, because no matter what their motives they are actually a good band. The stone roses were never really about the talent anyway, they were about a movement in music, about something fresh and new and exciting. They were about living. so boom. take my bullshit sentiments.
Something else that you'll all hate me for is my obsessive and actually quite scary love for The Velvet Underground. I'm just at that kind of time where The Velvets and The Cure are all i'm listening to. Truthfully they're often accompanied by tears of classic teenage angst, but that's irrelevant. The one right now is Femme Fatale, Nico is an amazing inspiring and just plain beautiful woman, and her odd little German voice makes the song so perfect. I feel like a lot of the velvets songs aren't quite done fully but this one is an exception, it's perfect and whole and wonderful. And the lyrics are brilliant. and it's just perfect.
ugh at life. Ugh at times when you remember exactly why you hate literally everyone. Take that full on angsty shit.
Went to an arctic monkeys concert last night, so more on that soon.. wooo.
