back to the music!

The long drought is over.............I have completed my Masters and life can begin again. It has been too long without music action, but really it's just been a lack of gigs. There has still been a heap of new music filling my ears and making my days better. I just wish I had of had more time to write about it.

So.......what has been helping me through the sleepless nights and long days of designing and writing? Whilst there has been a multitude of different things (depending on my ever fluctuating moods) there were two constants over the last few months, both of which you should all already know and enjoy, they are The Ting Tings and Frightened Rabbit. Both of these groups have kind of surprised me and pretty much taken control over my auditory world. I will do a little longer piece on Frightened Rabbit and the amazing album 'The Midnight Organ Flight' in the coming days, but suffice to say it has almost been worn out already with repeated playing. I keep trying to listen to something else, but there is nothing else fitting my mood and feeling right now. In the rare moments when it does go off (or I am getting a bit angsty) the Ting Tings fill that small gap with some damn catchy pop to pep me back up. All in all it's not a bad combination.......

BUT......there are still many more new things to come...........I can't wait.
