Had guitar lessons for about 3 years when I was 13 so should be able to play quite a few song but this was one of the few I regularly practised because it was fun to play and so is one of the few I can play pretty competently..although saying that, I haven't cracked the guitar out in about a year so I'm probably not as good as this one anymore either but I miss it so may have to get it out sometime soon and see what state my playing skills are in :)Jo.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18096585765301158138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322571764461769602.post-80479892347137573182011-04-13T18:29:00.000+01:002011-04-13T18:29:31.535+01:0030 Day Song Challenge - Day Twenty Five.A Song That Makes You Laugh.<br />

<br />
Don't know. It's far too much pressure. Everyone at your funeral will then associate that song with you forever. So it has to be a good'un. It can't be cheesy..unless it's cheesy and you KNOW it cheesy..something like this in Love Actually (but not this..I'd also skip the photo montage :) )<br />

Recently discovered this when I was having a rage and it came on shuffle on my ipod. Thankfully an unexpected lift home and a couple of hot cross buns sorted my mood out. But I was very close to hitting a randomer in town and this song was escalating the rage.Jo.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18096585765301158138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322571764461769602.post-34286313790046189692011-04-04T20:13:00.000+01:002011-04-04T20:13:18.857+01:0030 Day Song Challenge - Day Nineteen.A Song From Your Favourite Album.<br />

I LOVE this album, every song is amazing. It's kind of sad that, in my opinion, Arctic Monkeys have never really come close to being as good as this album, second one was good, third one I didn't even manage to finish listening to. But this one, as hyped as it is, has tune after tune, can't go wrong :)Jo.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18096585765301158138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322571764461769602.post-32571509978903365252011-04-02T21:41:00.000+01:002011-04-02T21:41:23.460+01:0030 Day Song Challenge - Day Eighteen.A Song You Wish You Heard On The Radio.<br />

Tried to think of a song that wouldn't even be played on stations that played old music. I would assume this would get bypassed for Daydream Believer or I'm A Believer..but this is such a tune!

I don't really listen to the radio, more a music channels person, unless I'm in a car OBV. And I've only ever heard this whilst in Meg's car where I think I've heard it like 3 times..so that's often enough and I quite like it, probs because I never get to hear it :)<br />

I don't HATE it but I don't love it half as much as I used to. I used to believe that tonight WAS going to be a good night but then it was played at every party and every pre drinking sesh and every night was no longer a good night..it was dull and overplayed.

I don't actually know what people would "expect" me to love but I kind of hope it isn't this. Even though I do, because it's amazingly catchy and upbeat and how could anyone not love this?? You just have to get over the whole Paris Hilton thing and it's perfectly acceptable.

I don't know..Jedward? Because they don't actually do their own songs? And every time they're on telly I want to throw something at them?<br />

I refuse to post another song by them.<br />

<ul><li>Stayed round the boys last night. Watched Jackass 3. Was good but can't handle things involving bodily fluids. Mainly poo.</li>
<li>Did the usual wake up, go back to sleep, mong about in bed until 12.</li>
<li>Boy made PERFECT toast, crispy on the outside, squidgy on the inside, just the right amount of butter.</li>
<li>Went down to the "park" (two swings and a slide). Ate a mars bar and picked at grass. Laughed at Foster scream on the swings.</li>
<li>Monged in the beer garden of the pub.</li>
<li>Had REALLY GOOD burger.</li>
<li>Had ice cream with golden syrup. NOM.</li>
<li>Played games on ipod whilst Foster played Fifa. Got stuck on a level on Bubble Burst. Expect Foster to get it done at work tonight.</li>
<li>Got the bus home. Sun was still out and found some tunes on ipod.</li>
<li>Realised I should crack the camera out a bit more. I like sunny pictures.</li>

I love Kings Of Leon. Their albums are solid. And they're music has changed so it's not all samey but it's never (in my opinion) got worse. Only By The Night was the first full album I downloaded (closely followed by most of their back catalogue) but this was the first song I heard and loved, mainly because I heard it on the end credits of Suburbia. And I liked that film because it was summery. So this song was summery. And I used to strut around in the sun listening to it :)Jo.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18096585765301158138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322571764461769602.post-32495417521804300302011-03-20T11:56:00.000+00:002011-03-20T11:56:31.188+00:0030 Day Song Challenge - Day Ten.A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep.<br />

I have about 300 songs in my sleep playlist but this is one of the ones that I never hear the end of because it actually has made me fall asleep. Found it back when Skins was good and not total codswallop like it is now.

Heard it for the first time over <a href="http://samhiscox.blogspot.com/">here</a>. Usually whack it on before a night out to get me hyped (although not ideal to boogie and apply eyeliner). Foster has always linked me to songs (not all of them amazing I hasten to add, but he finds quite a few good'uns) but this was the first song I linked to HIM and he didn't totally reject it.

I realised this last year when I couldn't sleep and had the chorus stuck in my head. And then went through the whole song word for word. And then was really pleased with myself. Even though the lyrics aren't exactly complex.

They sang this song at Reading and I got a tad excited because I like how she says "HERE" so when Paramore had finished and we were waiting for Blink to come on, in my merry state I just kept shouting "HERE" in her accent whilst Foster half attempted to make me be quiet.

I realise this is probably everyone who went on holiday in 2010's holiday song but it was ridiculous how much it was played and how mental everyone went over it when it came on. And to quote Megan "It's so good though, especially that bit where it stops and you think it's all over BUT THEN IT STARTS AGAIN". Well she said something like that anyway, it was a while ago :)<br />
And I know everyone hates other people's holiday in jokes but LEDZ ON TOUR.Jo.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18096585765301158138noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322571764461769602.post-4608986222109115872011-03-12T16:18:00.001+00:002011-03-12T16:19:19.887+00:0030 Day Song Challenge - Day Five.A Song That Reminds You Of Someone.<br />

This would probably be a strong contender for favourite song but it kind of had to go here. It reminds me of Foster because I fist heard it because of him. Appazza Foals released this once and no one liked it so they released it again like a year later where suddenly lots of people loved it. Foster had loved it from the first time. I had no idea about it even when it came out the second time. <br />
And, I don't really remember, but I think we may have been having a conversation about Foals and I hadn't heard any of their newer stuff so he linked me. And he got really into describing the song. "Beautiful" was a word that stands out. At the time it was pretty funny..he also had a man crush on Yannis but to be fair who can blame him :)<br />
And to be fair the song on its own is amazing, how it starts off quiet and calm and then builds up (I realise a lot of songs do this but this does it extra well, especially when you think it's building and then it goes back down again) and the video has something about it, like the water with all the broken ice on it and how Yannis is so dark against the white..ok, I'm starting to sound like him but there you go. <br />
And I don't think this whole thing happened too long before we started going out so it's just sort of always been there. Lovely stuff.Jo.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18096585765301158138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322571764461769602.post-81434055935634983952011-03-12T16:05:00.000+00:002011-03-12T16:05:37.502+00:00Easy A-vatar.See what I did there?

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I have just watched Easy A. And I really really liked it. All the characters were good and a bit different and slightly eccentric. The storyline was slightly meh but the characters made it, the main character's parents I thought were especially funny (although I don't think I would cope so well if they were my 'rents :/ ). And thanks to this bit..</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">..and the fact the song was her ringtone throughout the film I now have it stuck in my head...and keep re-enacting her Sunday night..</div><br />
AVATAR. I never saw it when it was in cinemas because I refused to see it unless it was in 3D and nobody would go with me. Bad times. But I have now watched it. And think it was pretty good. It looked amazing and I think that it is probably the only film that would be made better by 3D (not a massive fan of 3D generally, think it's pointless TBH) <br />
Storyline was alright, kind of been done before in that the guy gets ordered to do something then falls in love with a girl and is now on her side (slightly reminds me of cheesy american teen movies where the guy is doing something for a bet) but that may be slightly too harsh, it was good and I liked the link thing they had with nature.<br />
Basically if you havn't already watched it, it's worth watching, although at 3 hours pretty long..<br />
