Entry #12 – B-Side Myself II: The Masterplan (a.k.a Lovelovelovelovelovelove)

I’m cashing it in. This is one of the albums I have wanted to talk about ever since I started up this blog and I am not putting it off a moment longer. The Masterplan is my favourite Oasis album. Not Definitely Maybe, not Morning Glory, not even Be Here Now, none of that jazz.Continue reading “Entry #12 – B-Side Myself II: The Masterplan (a.k.a Lovelovelovelovelovelove)”

Entry #11 – Brand New Start & The Roller (a.k.a Two for the price of one)

Yup, in my continuing quest to keep things fresh and not stick with one standard formula, I’m reviewing two singles of choice today. Both have made an impression in my playlist lately and I just fancy talking about them.

Entry #10 – The Lyre of Orpheus (a.k.a: The One with the song used in Harry Potter)

So far so good,Continue reading “Entry #10 – The Lyre of Orpheus (a.k.a: The One with the song used in Harry Potter)”

Entry #9 – Abattoir Blues (a.k.a Primary school assemblies could’ve been so much better with Nick Cave)

I wish Nick Cave was more appreciated than he is already here in England. The man is an absolute genius when it comes to making music, his songs are gorgeously rich, and he can flip a switch and smoothly move from one genre to the next. One minute he could be singing about twisted murderersContinue reading “Entry #9 – Abattoir Blues (a.k.a Primary school assemblies could’ve been so much better with Nick Cave)”

Entry #8 – B-Side Myself I: Head Music (a.k.a Experimentalier)

At the end of my review of Head Music I stated that I would not be leaving it there as while the album was overall good, it was still very inconsistent. Songs like Elephant Man, Asbestos and Crack in the Union Jack all left a sour taste in the mouth and made me think thatContinue reading “Entry #8 – B-Side Myself I: Head Music (a.k.a Experimentalier)”
