I've met Gary Numan

 

Shame about my look on that evening, back from the gym, NOT a good look!

On my way to Charing Cross Rail Station, I walk past this odd looking man with his family. I didn't recognize him straight away but I thought I knew him from somewhere. Next thing I know, I started walking the other way and saw him stop. My hands started shaking, I couldn't believe it! My heart started to beat faster and faster. Oh-My-God! This is Gary Numan! GARY F**KING NUMAN!
I don't remember much, I was absolutely starstruck! I've asked if I could take a picture and he gently said yes. Bingo!
His wife was lovely, she asked if she could take the picture and actually took a few of them. Even their kids wanted to be on the picture so we posed all together (but I'm keeping this one for myself). We shared a joke and went our separate ways.
I was so excited, I couldn't stop talking about it for weeks. But I wish I had a proper chat with him. Ahhhh! Nevermind!
Next music hero I would like to meet would be: John Foxx, Siouxsie Sioux, Alan Wilder, Peter Hook....

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM - Someone great / Video + Lyrics

I wish that we could talk about it,
But there, that's the problem.
With someone new I could have started,
Too late, for beginnings.
The little things that made me harassed,
Are gone, in a moment.
I miss the way we used to argue,
Locked, in your basement.

I wake up and the phone is ringing,
Surprised, as it's early.
And that should be the perfect warning,
That something's, a problem.
To tell the truth I saw it coming,
The way, you were breathing.
But nothing can prepare you for it,
The voice, on the other, end.

The worst is all the lovely weather,
I'm sad, it's not raining.
The coffee isn't even bitter,
Because, what's the difference?
There's all the work that needs to be done,
It's late, for revision.
There's all the time and all the planning,
And songs, to be finished.

And it keeps coming,
And it keeps coming,
And it keeps coming,
Till the day it stops
(Repeat x3)
And it keeps coming,
(Repeat x7)
Till the day it stops.

I wish that we could talk about it,
But there, that's the problem.
With someone new I could have started,
Too late, for beginnings.
You're smaller than my wife imagined,
Surprised, you were human.
There shouldn't be this ring of silence,
But what, are the options?

When someone great is gone.
(Repeat x8)

We're safe, for the moment.
Saved,
For the moment

MUTEMATH - Odd Soul / Review

American Rock band Mutemath is just like wine, the older it is, the better it gets. Their 3rd studio album Odd Soul is starting with a bang with their Audioslavesque first track also named "Odd Soul". Then come the 70s inspired tunes such as "Prytania", "Tell Your Heart Heads Up" and "One More".
Their first single "Blood Pressure" is also widely 70s inspired with its psychedelic guitar riffs and memorable solo. A great first taste of this fabulous album! Also combining soul with tracks such as "Allies" and "Walking Paranoia", Odd Soul is a great album from beginning to end which could be a killer in a live version. Mutemath is definitely an act to watch!

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE - The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret //VIDEO & LYRICS!!!

I've got a secret, I cannot say
Blame all the movement to give it away
You've got somethin, I understand
Holding it tightly, caught on command
Leap of faith, do you doubt?
Cut you in, I just cut you out

[chorus:]

 Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone

Look for reflections, in your face
Canine devotion, time can't erase
Out on the corner, locked in your room
I never believe them and I never assume
Still can't believe there is a lie
Promises promise, an eye for an eye
We've got something to reveal
No one can know how we feel

[repeat chorus 2x]

I think you already know
How far I'd go not to say
You know the art is gone
And I'm taking this all to the grave

[repeat chorus]

GARBAGE - The Trick Is To Keep Breathing

She's not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels about herself
She takes a little time in making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight against the tide

And lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone

Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

Can't bear to face the truth
So sick he cannot move
And when it hurts he takes it out on you

And lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone

Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

The trick is to keep breathing [x2]

She knows the human heart
And how to read the stars
Now everything's about to fall apart
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

The trick is to keep breathing [x7]

THE SMITHS - What Difference Does It Make vs VIOLENS - The Dawn Of Your Happiness

The Smiths have been influencing the most powerful bands of the 90s but it doesn't end just there. Catchy tunes and Marr inspired riffles, Violens are the latest disciples of The Smiths. Listen to that track below!

LADYTRON - Gravity The Seducer - 2011

2011 hasn't been musically exciting apart for bands like Digitalism and Egyptian Hip Hop but Gravity The Seducer has proved me wrong. Starting the album with "White Elephant" and "Mirage", two strong songs in the like of Vangelis, Ladytron clearly shows maturity and sophistication. Their "Recoil-esque" song "White Gold" is a gem and their first single "Ace of Hz" has huge commercial potential. But the real star of this album is "90 Degrees" - it is rich, well-produced and catchy. Just close your eyes...
