What the fuuuucckkk.. biaattchhesss...

P.S.. the word fuck gets used a lot in this post.
Im listening to The 59' sound by the Gaslight Anthem as i write this... as a kind of moodsetter i guess.
Im going to be talking about failure and lack of reaching greats once dreamt of...
Where were we going 5 years ago when we started this blog? Yes we were taking too much fucking cocaine at that point and we had pipe dreams of making it big in the music industry just because we knew what a good tune sounded like... but now its god dammit 5 years later and i still have those same dreams.. just nowhere to live it out onto.
God i hate sitting at my desk working at some building which is going to be great for someone else to enjoy one day... no not me, in not going to enjoy it.. i get a few pictures to keep for the kids someday and say..daddy built that.. thats if i can have kids, fuck ive taken so much drugs and drank so muck i dont think i can have any living sperm left, but anyway, i think those bastards are pretty sturdy...
Back to the point... we started this blog to inform the people of this fucking oil soaked planet that there is good music out there...but whats the point of all that, your not going to listening to anything if we dont provide it on a golden plate and force you to listen to it... but frankly i dont give a fucking shit... if you dont listen then you wont ever and simon cowell will be your god forever..
I have a lot to get off my chest so bear with me...

Anyway..so 5 years later.. the best 5 albums i can recall now... in no fucking significant order of any means....

5. Arcade Fire - Funeral

What you gonna say.. cant say much... if you have heard it you are probably a fan.. but its as beautifull as a 16 year old's tight behind... there i said it.

4.The Black Keys - Rubber Factory

Actually this is a shout out to the entire existance of this great band.. everything they have done is as good as a chocalate sundae off a strippers behind... cant say more than that.

3. Glasvegas - Glasvegas

This album means more to me than probably most.. but i think it has more emotion than a middle eastern stoning...but hey everyone to themself... enjoy, weep, laugh.. its great.

2. Longwave - Secrets are Sinister

What do i like about this... i like the fact that i cannot stop listening to it.. do i need a better reason, no i dont..

1. The Gaslight Anthem - The 59 Sound

What an album, no bad songs, all reminding you of something horrible from you past and making you move on. Cant fault it and its a go-to album for me... so there.

Otherwise, its been a long time, i miss my fellow blogger on this site and his energy is missed surely.
From then if been hit in the head very hard by stuff, puked a lot from too much booze and been drunker than what i should have been... but its been a good ride and i wont swop it for the world.

Peace out and i hope this is a return for good.
Oh.. and fuck you.

Your Boss just handed you another impossible deadline...

Your idiotic boss who is less qualified than you but is paid astoundingly more than you hands you a impossible deadline at 3.18pm on a friday afternoon, and the free staff drinks downstairs starts at 4:30pm....

The picture on the left indicates what happens when too many of these type of deadlines occur...

This however still leaves you with 48 minutes to complete the deadline, taking into consideration that the average length of a song amounts to 3.5min which gives you have 13 songs to get you amped, the work done and down to that free bar in time grab a cold brew and to chat up the office hottie...AARRRGG!!!

04. The Vines - F.T.W aka "F*ck the World" (Winning Days)
05. The Used - Liar Liar (Burn in Hell) - Lies for the Liars


Phase 2 : Keep the pace going "thinking you are actually gonna finish this rediculous deadline"

06. My Chemical Romance - To the End ( Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge)
07. Lostprophets - Five is a four letter word (The fake sound of progress)
08. The Faint - I Disappear (Wet from Birth)
09. Muse - Assassin (Black Holes and Revelations)
10. Panic! At the Disco - Time to Dance ( A fever you cant sweat out)


Phase 3 : You are a machine, nothing can stop you now...

11. Finch - Post Script ( What it is to burn )
12. The Bravery - Every word is a knife in my ear ( The sun and the Moon)
13. Yellowcard - Lights and Sounds ( Lights and Sounds)
14. Arctic Monkeys - D is for Dangerous (Favourite Worst Nightmare)


Phase 5 : Deadline has been crushed , you are invincible... take that wedding ring off your finger and go and get that foxy little secretary with the tight little a$$...!! Ha Ha Ha
Enjoy, from The Man!!

Mr Knights 5 Albums for now...

1.The Fratellis - Costello Music
My album for the now. If you like that British, garagy kinda vibe, then go get this album. Nice and pacy, with a good deal of jumping up and down songs. Good for waking you up in the morning. Similar to Arctic monkeys, The libertine's or maybe slightly The Hives.

Recommended songs - no1. Henrietta, Chelsea dagger and "Got na nuts from a hippy" are my fav's from this album.


2. The National - Boxer
Everyone needs a album to put on and sit back with a glass of red wine to relax and blow off some steam, this right here is perfect in that regard. Or even for long distance driving. Similar sound to "Kings of Leon" which you can read more about on Mr Dade murphy's post. The drummer needs an applause after every song, have not heard a drummer play with such conviction in a long time.

Recommended songs - " Mistaken for Strangers" and "Fake Empire" sets the tone and "Start a war" is super...

3. Rooney - Rooney
Self titled debut album. Teenage feel good catchy-tuned album that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Love the bear on the cover. If you like "Mika" you will like these guys. Sadly i have to admit i found them while watchin The OC series on DVD, yes i do watch soapy kinda chik-like series..HaHaHa

If you like the harder stuff, give this one a skip, only for the soft-inside gay kinda guys, but a must for all girls. Songs to look out for - "Shakin", "Daisy Duke" and "Im a terrible person"

4. My Chemical Romance - Three cheers for sweet revenge
Yes this is not their more famous last album, but i think their best work was done before the famous last days of The black parade. Rougher raw-er and a lot more soul to this album, love the anger right here. This album reminds me of the late 90's with the likes of Blink's beginnings and Nirvanas end. Sound is very similar to "Finch" and maybe a angrier version of Good charlotte... if that is allowed to be said?

Do not listen to this while driving as taking out the idiot taxi might seem like a great idea with this playing loudly..!! Classic songs - "Helena", "You know what they do to guys like us in prison" and definatly "Im not okay (i promise)" are my fav's but there are many sides to the romance...

5. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love In
What happened to Nick in his youth nobody will ever know... but what we all have from that is his painfull balads. Poety recital with a band playing in the background, not going to put you in a party mood but on a lonely cold evening with only your thoughts, this would be perfect.
I will never be able to completely describe why i like this kind of music but for some reason it all makes sense, buy the album, listen and make up your own mind... but please dont go through life without going into The CAVE!!

Some of you might recognise "Red Right Hand" from the X-files soundtrack..
Other great songs - "Loverman" , "Thirsty Dog"... Dark as it should be...


I hope this keeps you going for a while...
