What do you do when a good/best friend decides to ignore you withough giving a reason? 1. Rage and get annoyed at life, 2. Suck it up and forget them, 3. Never forget them, forgive them if they come back.

So after a very long hiatus i wonder how long i will manage to keep blogging in this. So ceebs to do Belonging right now damn Skrzynecki and his immensely stupid poetry. Anyway back to the old theme of music reviews and artist choices.

Everyone knows Bruno Mars right? good because i can't be bothered to do anything about him except saying that his song Grenade is severely underrated and truthfully should be more popular than his song Just the Way You Are but then again what do i know about whipped music...

Moving on, this post is about a little known Danish artist named Mads Langer (TY to Elena for introducing me to him). He's one of the few artists who i constantly listen to right now. The other two are the Alternative band Holiday Parade and Pop/Rock singer Josh Kelley. But for Mads Langer i would describe his music as just awesome and someone who i think anyone who enjoys relaxing pop/rock music to listen to.

Other than the song This Is How Love Is Made the song's have very mild lyrics and he utilises multiple instruments to create a unique sound to complement his slightly husky tenor voice. A Danish born singer, there is very little accent in his singing which i think is a bit unfortunate as it would create a very intriguing combination to his singing.
Some songs which i definitely recommend include:
Remains of You
Fact Fiction
Forgotten Gardens
And for all The Vampire Diaries fans you might recognise one of his songs in "Beauty of the Dark"

Yes i am a fan of The Vampire Diaries, i have no idea why but hey who thinks that Damon is a million times more awesome than Stefan? yeh i thought so, everyone who has seen both of them

Next up those 2 other artists when/if i have time

Alphabeat.

Obviously for many of you this band will really mean nothing but for others of course it could be the epitome of their music life so really i guess this will be good to get a little publicity for them.

Alphabeat are a Danish band who i could probably describe as Europop, i guessed them to be a european band about ten seconds into the vocals starting, i'm not sure why but i would probably hazard a guess into the small accents the singer's have which kind of gave it a European feel.
At any rate the constant duet which are created by the two lead singers are pretty much what is so different to all the more generic bands which i listen to.
Personal favorites:
10,000 Nights
Fascination
What is Happening

Yes all good songs but personally 10,000 Nights is my favourite, why? because it has awesome harmony's pity i cant play piano...oh well going to learn...hopefully...with all the other stuff im going to learn...how am i going to cope in 1st yr uni? ><

any other songs you want me to review please do so, otherwise im just gna go back to being a mega ceebs as usual cuz im cool like that.

also best of luck to all the new relationships out there, so mne popping up its incredible...oh well

At the behest of Mountain Man will be updating my blog after so long.

So looking at a band which many of you probably won't know particularly well even if all of you guys know they'r lead singer, the wonderful Michael Jackson. Pretty much despite the great talent of the Jackson Brothers, MJ completely knocks them all down. For all you muso's out there who want to see the change in people's singing voices i think even just listening to the song's when Michael was a kid to when he sings them now.

Some great songs to listen to both sides of his voice breaking (haha MJ's voice breaking...hmmmm)
Blame it on the Boogie
Ben
Never Can You Say Goodbye
ABC
I Want You Back
I'll Be There

All of these songs i guess you can clearly hear the incredible ability which MJ has been able to express with his singing. These iconic tunes are all the songs u HAVE to listen to but then again all of their albums are just full of GOLD so really...xDD

I personally prefer Ben and I Want You Back but of course for some of those motown lovers Blame it on the Boogie is probably the best dance song which all of you will know with our experiences at school dances...really...xDD

For all those few readers i have, yes i am lazy with blog posting, deal with it really xD i only post rarely but i will post up stuff if you guys ask me for anything to look at, or if i just feel like it. And tomorrow to post up a much neglected blog entry for Alphabeat.

Yeh well this is what happens when your sister takes your computer for about 3 hours more than she said she would. At any rate a change in pace for the whole emo band outlook and to look at a rather "old" artist who actually started me singing properly. Not sure how many of my readers remember Gavin Degraw other than his song I Don't Wanna Be but i seriously recommend you listen to him.

Degraw has a rather generic sound for the time with just the utilisation of piano's, drum's, guitar's etc etc. In the same manner the topics and lyrics are pretty much cliche, love, family watevs. But i don't know why but it always seems to get me going and i do love his tone colour. So for some recommendations of songs from his two albums i would actually advise against listening to I Don't Wanna Be. The song is too pop that it may even seem rather bland in the same way Miley Cyrus is bland...*puke*

Anyways instead for his first album Chariot i would recommend listening to Belief and Chariot both which display Gavin's piano ability which while admittedly is not difficult at least presents a different style to listen to. In his other album "Gavin Degraw" i don't really recommend listening to any of the songs mainly because i think the whole album is crap XD sorry to anyone who disagrees but its the truth. The only song which has an inkling of self respect is Anyway which i think is part of the Chariot album originally sooooo...

Anyways yes reminder again to all the people who shouted. Its great to agree with each other but if you could PLEASE recommend me new music to listen to because my 7000 odd songs isn't cutting it anymore...*twitch*
Shout out to Stella, yes i will be giving some love out to Alphabeat at some point. still deciding on what else.
Another post coming up today to make up for yesterday's miss :P ciao

ok well because i got my arse kicked off the comp for about 3 hours i wasn't able to blog at any normal time of day so i guess i might as well do it now, it's 12:30 and im still wide awake, should i be worried? yes i think so....

Sorta still going along with the theme to everything before i know a lot of people are genuinely surprised when they find out that I really do enjoy listening to punk/emo. So the 2nd band on the list of 7 musicians that i enjoy listening to is MCR, My Chemical Romance.

Yes readers, i am well aware that even the mention of the name MCR parallels the thoughts with emo's, wrist cutting and premature death...but even if some of the names of the song's and indeed the lyrics are a bit sus...(Kill All Your Friends O.O really?) that the music by itself are quite interesting to listen to as long as you do not really listen to the lyrics in the most sense then the quality of the song's increase exponentially.

For example I know most people are aware of Welcome to the Black Parade and Teenagers, both rather new songs from their albums which have indeed made it onto mainstream cinema and tv shows there are a couple of other songs which i recommend you listen to on the album, even just to appreciate Gerard Way's incredible vocal range. These songs include This Is How I Disappear which is a pretty punk rock tune but also the two songs I Dont Love You and Cancer, both very meaningful songs which i recommended anyone who wants to listen to them to pay attention to their lyrics.

Apart from these four, some other songs which i think showcase great ability and standards in terms of the genre in one of the older albums Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. I would actually in all seriousness recommend to listen to the whole album, each song is great to listen to as long as you aren't a lyrics person because some of the lyrics are quite dodgy in that sense.

So here's a bit more love for a band which i know many of my friends who might read this would not enjoy but hey maybe ill get more people listening to them. Shout out to Elena who got my hooked onto MCR :P. Also just a reminder to people who read, i really do enjoy comments about the music themselves and other bands/artists who i should listen to/blog about because i am always up for new music regardless of what it sounds like so please shout these out because otherwise it feels really lonely otherwise.

At any rate time to sleep before Spain vs Germany and next one will be a slightly different genre. Ciao

Sorry to the few people who actually read my blog that i seem to update rarely these days but in a way it's a good sign. I generally only blog when i'm down or bored so in that manner it looks like i haven't been either for a while eh? xD

anyways in a slight change of style I'm going to go back to what i probably should have done with the music theme to this blog which is to go over what i love the most, which is music and just trying to spread a little love for some bands people might not know.

Anyways for the next 7 days (i promise i will) i will blog about a singer or band who i really respect or enjoy listening to so one each day. I'm not even sure if i properly have 7 people to talk of...but hey. And also i will ask my readers for any music which i can listen to because it is always welcome.

So for today one of my old favourites, some people may not be aware but i really like emo bands, i'm not really a lyrics person more of the melody so the singing ability of many punk bands are incredible. And because of this i would like to introduce 30 Seconds to Mars and specifically Jared Leto who is the lead singer of the band.

Now i know this band is pretty mainstream, not much of what i listen to is that off the mainstream channel but in my opinion i don't think Jared Leto gets enough love so here's my sales pitch per se.

For those with good bandwidth who can just watch it on youtbube i'd recommend listening to The Kill and Attack. Both song's display the rather incredible range that Jared displays and are two of my favourite songs to listen to regardless of the time of day or mood. And i know from a lot people that they do not enjoy it when their band's branch out into different styles of their own music such as Linkin Park's recent Minutes To Midnight album or Muse's The Resistance. But anyone who is aspiring to be in this kind of band or even just interested in listening to a different style of punk Hurricane, off the album This Is War as well as Night of the Hunter diverge quite a bit from the original musical tone of the other albums.

Now because this is a sales pitch for more love towards Leto i am well aware some of my readers may hate emo, may not be interested and are wondering why in the world i'm writing about musicians or may understand every word that I am talking about but regardless just a head's up on some great bands.

Also just to some of my readers if you want to post up some comments on bands or singers that i should take a look at on the side shoutbox, (that's what it's for to shout at me about ideas) then i will definitely take a look at them and blog about them in my posts depending on when i get the message and how much time i get.

At any rate, hope some of you actually take a look at these bands who i talk about and in the future will be writing about band's such as Alphabeat and My Chemical Romance, as well as singers such as Gavin Degraw and Matt Wertz. But for today, cya :)

so enough about personality, i haven't blogged about a day in ages so meh

Twas rather cold this morning did anyone else really notice? :P
train was late i think hence i had to hack it on the damn north sydney >< so many retarded year 7's in all the carriages clogging up the way, damn those year 7's. caught the bus to nsg with du, eddie, stella nd ness which was quite fun, they'r all such great ppl even if eddie really needs to learn how to be a guy...

had the biggest shock of my life when i realised i had an in class essay tday, luckily it was only a practice so i was saved and considering i knew alot more about Speer's life than i expected i guess i should be thankful of...made that 30 minutes of stress that much easier :)

2nd period: free, just played bball cuz we are that hardcore, playing bball before trials :)

Recess: cracked up at vin's hair although not as much as survana apparently ah well

3rd Period: Maths cbbs explaining i jst fail at maths

4th Period: Legal, do i ever do anything productive in legal anymore? i don't think so i think i just study all the content at home and still win in the class...well not really.
the boys at the back are in the process of inventing a new dice sport, rugby league, early trials make it look to be rather promising, no where near as easy to control as cricket but hey it should be fun :)
ended the period discussing science fiction topics and 4U and updating richard's knowledge on genetic engineering which i seem to remember pretty well from year 10...XD

lunch=bball enough said

5th period: english, which means sorta bludge, jst went over trying to do a belonging creative which is pretty easy for me, completely screwed finger which really sucks but ah well

6th period free just went home and ate alot of food, stayed warm, played guitar a bit and started work *sigh*

My personality quiz keeps switching between ENTJ and INTJ but i'm pretty sure i'm a INTJ so i'm just gonna go with that one :)

"With Introverted Intuition dominating their personality, INTJs focus their energy on observing the world, and generating ideas and possibilities. Their mind constantly gathers information and makes associations about it. They are tremendously insightful and usually are very quick to understand new ideas. However, their primary interest is not understanding a concept, but rather applying that concept in a useful way."

I guess i can definitely identity with this, i usually understand things pretty easily, it's just unfortunate that i'm so much of a lazy arse that any of this understanding usually goes to waste...><

"INTJs are natural leaders, although they usually choose to remain in the background until they see a real need to take over the lead. When they are in leadership roles, they are quite effective, because they are able to objectively see the reality of a situation, and are adaptable enough to change things which aren't working well. They are the supreme strategists - always scanning available ideas and concepts and weighing them against their current strategy, to plan for every conceivable contingency."

I'm quite enjoying how close i would like this to be even though it isn't really right...oh well XD

"INTJs are ambitious, self-confident, deliberate, long-range thinkers.They dislike messiness and inefficiency, and anything that is muddled or unclear. They value clarity and efficiency, and will put enormous amounts of energy and time into consolidating their insights into structured patterns."

I wonder how much i can put down before it becomes redundant...

Indeed, the INTJ is not overly demonstrative of their affections, and is likely to not give as much praise or positive support as others may need or desire.

Final yay to everyone who seems to think i'm a jerk...well i AM so suck it up

What types are you guys? haha i know no one shouts on my page but hey http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp
i'd like to hear what you guys are :)
