Drunk as ya get you know you're better than this

The Original Rudeboys-Live your life

I can't remember if I've posted these guys music before but they are truly wonderful. They're accents are to die for and their music isn't half bad either. I like the hap hazard feel it has, you can see they're just friends who have stumbled across music as something they all enjoy. I saw them at Reading on the introducing stage and when I saw they were announced I was so pleased, one of the smallest acts yet coming from Ireland I wasn't sure I'd ever see them.

Anyway I'm glad I did as they're pretty sick live and I got in one of their crowd pictures yay. Ed Sheeran retweeted one of their mates who asked if he could tweet a link to their song and I'm so glad he did. I like the mix of rap and melody they have, it's interesting and I'll admit doesn't work in places but is genius in others!

Jesus it had 300 views last time I played it!

Stars in your eyes is pretty nice too but this is my favourite.

Go easy on me

The Vaccines-Wetsuit

God I miss the summer. I love this band very much and I miss the careless feeling of summer. Festival mania will grasp me this coming summer as I will have money from my job (yes job!) and will be able to go to loads. My car is also going to help massively; it is my freedom! I need to get back to the sea soon; I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. I will buy a caravan by the beach and live there with a wetsuit and surfboard to keep me company. Fuck you all. I really can't be dealing with people at the moment; personalities and opinions annoy me. Only the people who disagree with each other just to cause trouble.

I am a miserable sod but right now I don't care. I'll be over it tomorrow. At least I hope I will be, I have a full day of lessons.

I like this video too, it's very clever.

Is this the end of the road?

Danny and the champions of the world-Henry the van

I love this song. Frank Turner played it on his hour take over on BBC radio 6? It's an interesting song about the bands van breaking down. If you actually listen it's clearly about more than that.

It's got a very country sound and is certainly not to everyone's taste but there's something very soothing and human about it. The lack of electronic edits and sounds makes it perhaps easier to relate to: more earthly.

It hides in your eyes, in a picture. In another places sky.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich- More than letters

Heard this on last fm in April and couldn't find it on youtube until now. It's probably my favourite song of his. Even if his voice could be described as weak I don't believe it is, I see it as sensitive and emotional. It's interesting as well, the way in which he conveys such softness in his voice. The lyrics have got to be some of the most adorable ones I've ever read, his girlfriend must be a pretty inspirational person!

The things that keep me alive, keep me alone

What a beautiful paradox.

Fink-This is the thing

Need I say more? Other than that no I didn't watch Dear John to find this music but I'm so, so glad they used it.

Every time your back was turned, I'd put a finger in the air

and every time you turned around, I'd hide it cos I know it hurts

Wave Machines-Punk Spirit

These guys have seriously grown on me. Their music just doesn't get old. I could listen to it forever, they're just gloriously clever and create meaningful, interesting music. It's not churned out pop it's good rocky pop with a bit of a bite to it. Nothing too harsh now. He sounds like he is genuinely in pain when singing this song, not physical pain but emotional; like there's no point in life any more. His singing is not varied but this is more than made up for by the lyrics, tune and wa oh oh oo dotted in the song. I simply adore Wave Machines and next opportunity to see them live I am grabbing with both hands! The video is pretty snazzy too, it's refreshing.

Green Man 2009, yeah baby

What your percieve as life is no more than a chore

Pretty swift one today

Tom Vek-A Chore

I like this song. The fact he is a self taught instrumentalist is also pretty impressive. I like the unpolished roughness to his voice, it works nicely with the depressing, reality inducing lyrics.

I got the inspiration from a post by one of my friends, else there wouldn't have been one today. I'm too tired.
