The world's a hostile city from the start

Massively relieved right now. A huge weight has been lifted. And still I listen to depressing folky music, you love it though don't cha.

Todays offering comes from someone I assume must be a Burberry model as his youtube and facebook is covered with adoring 14 year old fans commenting on his aesthetics rather than his voice. Poor bloke. Anyway I think he is very talented and his folk sound has hints of traditional American folk and with an English twang which is lovely to hear. He seems very authentic, especially for a model (not stereotyping at all) and appears to be working hard. If I lived in London I would go to the Notting Hill Arts Centre on Tuesday but I don't so I won't be going. Shame.

Glory Days His hat in this video is fabulous. Like something from Cold Mountain. That's who he reminds me of: Inman.

This is just a rant, stop reading here if you don't want me to just moan.

Keaton Henson has gone to fucking Vevo. This upsets me a lot one of the most secretive and unique artists of the moment has sold out and being supported by Vevo.

I'm upset to be honest with you.

Well global was fucking insane. Best weekend of my life, it even beats maga. Nero were incredible and above and beyond weren't half bad either. Chase and status just did performed hit after hit and it was amazing. Only regret was that I missed Armin van Buuren but he clashed with Skrillex so it was a tough choice. I'll just have to see him live at his own show or something. Only shame was the amount of drugs people were doing, it just seemed a little unnecesary to me. And I missed out on my cultural trip to Stratford upon Avon as we were stuck in traffic for 3 hours trying to get out of the car park. An hour and a half more and that adds up to the amount of sleep I had all weekend...It was ridiculous. The light shows and lasers were also out of this world

Argh I miss it and with reference to my other blog it's just messed my feelings up even more. If it was possible we're even closer now than we were before we went.

Elbow-Lippy Kids (Build a rocket boys)

You'd never have guessed I've just had the best holiday of my life would you. Or maybe you would as I've just got back and I'm feeling very depressed. This song upsets me as it reminds me that I have essentially had the best days of my life. The days where I had no responsibility and no cares. I'm now venturing into adulthood and it's petrifying I have no idea what I want to do in the next 6 months let alone in the long run. I just had the last holiday with all my school friends I ever will and it upsets me to think I'm never going to go back to school and be able to mess around without there being any consequences. Of course everyone says we're moving onto bigger and better things but I really don't think I am at all. I don't like forced change and that is exactly what this is I'm being forced to grow up. You may say I'm being pathetic and I just need to grow up but there is a reason my favourite character in any disney movie isn't a princess who finds prince charming, it's Peter Pan the boy who never grew up and was without love. If I could be this age forever I would give anything for it. Including never finding love. I admit I still have quite a few years to mess around and sort my life out, a lot of the most interesting people I know still don't really know what they're doing with their lives and they're going on 30. Ahh well I can moan all I like but it won't change society will it? I think I need to get friendly surfers who do fuck all all day and act like they're still 18.

We walk blind and we try to see, falling behind in what could be

James Vincent McMorrow-Higher Love

I genuinely thought this was the original of the song. He has changed the sound of the song so much it's incredible. I only realised it was a cover when my friend played me the original and was like this is such a happy summer song and I recognised it from somewhere. The words happy and summer don't exactly spring to mind when I think of this version. Wistful and heart wrenching are perhaps more appropriate, I guess that fits aha I do love to wallow!
This is the kind of cover I love as it is so different it is almost an entirely new song, unlike some covers which are more like mediocre imitations e.g. Birdy's cover of Bon Iver-Skinny Love.
