C'mon

Would it be too much fun. if I posted their song with Panic! at the Disco? It would be the first time I repeated any singer in this blog, and maybe it's too early... but I have no clear rules for this, so I'll just do it!

And I'm seeing fun. live this Saturday, so expect more of them soon...

I don't know where I belong.
I don't know where I went wrong.
But I can write a song.

Under the Westway

I have been talking lately about bands getting back together and recording new albums, but not all of them do the same.

After a six year hiatus, Blur reunited in 2009 for a couple of concerts. The positive reviews their comeback drew lead them to headline at several Summer festivals, but there were no news of a new record.
2010 brought their documentary No distance left to run, which earned them their first Grammy nomination (for Best long form music video), and the new song Fool's day. Still no news of a new album.
Early on 2012, despite them saying that the time for a new record had not come yet, producer William Orbit's tweets made it clear that the band was back in the studio. However, in May he announced that recording had halted. The pressure was too much, they didn't want to rush things and maybe they were not ready for the commitment an album involves.
Luckily, on July 2 they released the singles The Puritan and Under the Westway.

There were blue skies in my city today.

Settle down

After a wait that seemed to last forever, No Doubt are back, and what a comeback!
I've heard a lot of different opinions on this song: some say it's just the same music Gwen Stefani has been doing since she began her solo career; some others think that there's no doubt they're the No Doubt we once fell in love with.
I'm with the second group.

The fact is that when the song ends it's very hard not to hit play again.
It may be the reggae atmosphere, the addictive rhythm, the catchy lyrics or the urgent need to dance that we get when we listen to it.
Whatever it is, let's enjoy it!

Settle down will be included in their new album, Push and shove, that will be out on September 25.
I can't wait to listen to the rest of the songs in there. What about you?

8. No Doubt - Settle down



But you can see it my eyes, you can read on my lips, 
I'm trying to get a hold on this.
And I really mean it this time, and you know it's such a trip.
Don't get me started, I'm trying to get a hold on this.

That golden rule

Probably the most epic song ending ever.

7. Biffy Clyro - That golden rule



I wanna scream one last death medley.
