I want to express my sadness at the news of the death of Adam Yauch aka MCA of the beastie boys. One of the most influential, and entertaining, hip hop groups ever, and the world have lost a man who seemed a genuinely good guy. RIP MCA.
"Trash Tongue Talker" by Jack White on the "Blunderbuss" album. Is there a better line in any song than "Your momma was a bastard, had your bastard face all over the scene"? It's a close call! Check out this album. It is ASTOUNDING. I wi…
"Talisman" by Air, from the album Moon Safari. Just listening to it now as I'm preparing for a presentation tomorrow. It's so relaxing, heavenly and inspiring.
Sorry, this isn't really anything. My last two opusses aren't appearing in my feed although it seems that other people can still see them. Any idea what's going on???
"One Love" by Bob Marley and the Wailers. You can't argue with its message.
I've just got back from seeing the Bob Marley documentary movie "Marley" and I would highly recommend anyone with even a passing interest in the man or his music to go and see it. Everyone knows how popular his work is throughout the worl…
I've had so much background music on all day it's difficult to pick one from the plethora! I do find though that a nice bit of electronica helps with the work, and today I had an album called "Fin" by John Talabot on. The track "When the…
Hmmmm. I've hardly been listening to any music today. It's just been work work work. Still, I'll go for another from the new Jack White album which I'm thoroughly enjoying and which I recommend everyone has a listen to. "I guess I shoul…
I've just bought my first ever box of Assam tea and these are my thoughts. It's pleasantly refreshing, light and very, very slightly fruity with a gentle almost unnoticeable, welcome bitter aftertaste. I shall be drinking my Assam tea t…
"Weep Themselves To Sleep" from the new Jack White album "Blunderbuss". I only got this album today and have only listened to it a couple of times, but this seemed to be the standout track. Check out the album!
One of the most important things that I've learned in this life is that you can't change people. It's much easier to just accept them as they are.
It had been a long day and the man contemplated his bed and sleep. But something kept him awake. A yearning for a reward of sorts for his hard work during the day. He didn't want to just fall asleep and wake up only to have to do the same…
"Strawberry Letter 23" by Shuggie Otis. Just listen to it. It's beautiful!
A run in the sun, It's tough but it's fun.
"D'yer Wanna be a Spaceman" by Oasis from the Shakermaker single. Beautifully simple. A song about reminding yourself of who you really are and how time can slip away if you're not careful. And also, it seems, bloody easy to play on the…
I look at my mug, And it's empty. I think, How could such a thing happen to me? I boil some water, While thinking things through. Pour over the water, And let the bag stew. Now that I'm closer, To my favourite brew. I can get back to the…
"Corrina Corrina" by Bob Dylan from the album "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" "I got a bird that whistles, I got a bird that sings. I got a bird that whistles, I got a bird that sings. But if I ain't got Corrina, life don't mean a thing".
"Baby Said" by Hot Chip from the album "Coming on Strong" This is just a wonderfully catchy tune that is at the same time melancholy and happy. At its core it's a song about being happy with and grateful for the little things in life, as w…
Great metaphor about Whites position on drums in the Dead Weather. "And don’t even start us on The Dead Weather. In 2009, Jack got cosy with The Kills’ Alison Mosshart and decided to play drums in a barely functional garage-rock band. If t…
Isn't that first cup of coffee in the morning incredible?
Isn't that first cup of tea in the morning incredible?
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I thought I was on top of this dissertation. Now it feels like its on top of me.
LCD Soundsystem "Never as tired as when I'm waking up" I can't help but believe this is true. James Murphy and LCD sound system were geniuses of lyricism and song construction. A great blend of everyday philosophy and infectious danceab…

How can I unlike something within this app?
Lust for Life by Iggy Pop. I have a lust for life, but sadly can't embrace it at the moment as I need to write my dissertation for my degree. Never mind, life goes round in circles and soon it will be party time! Also, the soundtrack to …
Right. I've pretty much downloaded this Opuss app and I'm really liking it! So I'm going to start a short, extremely original blog called Song of the day. Every day I will endeavour to write about a song that I've been enjoying listening …
Is there a better radio station than 6music?
It's a beautiful day here but sadly I have to stay indoors and work as I'm nearing the end of my pharmacy degree. It's at times like this that the lyrics of one of my favourite songs by The Roots, "Sacrifice", enter my head. "Tell you …
