Biggest Guilty Pleasures... 

Top 5...

I have an iPod and a MP3 player, they both are full of songs, I lead people to believe that they are all good and nothing weird on there, well lets have a look at what guilty pleasures I really have....

At number 5... this is guilty pleasure is one that would make you either turn your music right down so only you could hear it or turn it right up so everyone could hear it with you, is....

Justin Bieber, Boyfriend- Definitely one to be turn right down so I can only hear it, I just find it really catchy and it makes me go all giggly, it's weird I know I shouldn't like it but I just have to listen to it...

At 4... I'm going to share with you is something I think is actually really cool, it's by Guns N' Roses, it isn't a serious song, it's just something that you can get your own back to someone, it's the awesome song... 'I used to love her'. For those in the know, you'll know that it is a good song and that it is funny, the fact that they 'used to love her, but i had to kill her,' because she was annoying them, I would definitely turn this one up for the world to hear.

At 3... This one is more embarrassing than the Bieber, its Natasha Bedingfield, 'These words are my own' it's catchy and well it's one that makes you just want to jump up and sing along, it's so old yet always makes you have a good time, teehee. This one makes me turn it right up!

At number 2 I asked my friend what her biggest guilty pleasure was, she started by saying Rihanna, because she doesn't really like her, but I wanted something better and something that would make someone think, 'really?!' So I asked her for her real guilty pleasure and she said someone that I needed to check out... Her biggest Guilty Pleasure is Mr David Lee Roths, 'Yankee Rose', I listened to it and it's really cheesy, yet oddly good, so for Jenny I'd definitely turn this one up!

And finally number 1, the most embarrassing piece of music that I listen to is...

Whitney Houston 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody', I can't help it especially when it does the 'I wanna fell the Heat with somebody' You just need to sing along really badly and kick out the dad dancing moves, it's a classic, and it is 100% one that I will always turn right up!!

Russell Michael. That is all.

I got this twitter update saying that I had more followers, so I went on to see who are they are and to follow them back, and I had random ones from people who like what I tweet, but I had this one from someone called Russell Michael, I'd heard of him and I wanted to know where from, so I went to Google and found him. 


Russell Michael, is so incredibly talented. Not only does he write and sing all of his songs, he also does the whole producing-engineering-recording, I think this is because he wants to feel connected with the whole song, not letting any one else do it for him. He also likes to do it because he likes to think of himself as a 'a painter with sound', I too think he is the sound painter.


I found some background information about him, it's rather interesting.
He grew up in South Africa, but he moved to London in 2008 to follow finally his dreams, I can only hope he has found what he wanted, I can say that his fans are so glad he decided to do so ;).


He was in rock band before, but that was short lived, it slowly deteriorated, but I'd say their loss our gain.


He used to play the violin, and the piano after studying them in high school, after that he thought he'd have a crack at the drums, so he got a drum machine, which he got in the best, most rock and roll way, he busked and raised the money! I for one find that truly inspiring, if you want something so bad you have to go and get it, no matter what. He used to bush at Johannesburg International Airport with his Violin. 




Russell has plenty of music out there, and he gives it away for free, so get to his website, and get to loving him, because he really deserves it, his music is inspirational.

Some of his songs include...


We Got Something
All I Want
One Step Closer
Remember
Who You Are
Days Just Slip Away
Pride 
The Next Line
And there are many more!

Aladdinsane!

David Bowie Tribute...

So I went to a David Bowie Tribute on Saturday, it was amazing!

When my friend asked if I wanted to go, I didn't even have to hesitate, I was on that!

So I went round her house before hand and we got ready, including the DB Bolt on our faces. When we got there the people inside the venue and outside the venue were looking at us. When we got to the door we got told '10 outta 10 for effort girls!' This just got us more excited, so we go into the venue, The Square in Harlow, and we get our drink and have a little dance to the pre-gig music that was on the screens.

The the band comes on, all in delightfully sparkly tops and David Bowie-esk trousers on, then the lights go down and on comes David Bowie, (the tribute). He was wearing a tight, white suit, including the classic white boots Bowie would wear.

They started with 'Five Years' just like Bowie did on the tributed album 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars'.

The Set-list was...

Five Years

The Man Who Sold The World

Oh You Pretty Things

Moonage Daydream

Starman

John I'm Only Dancing

Acoutisc Track

Supermen

Life On Mars

Star

Drive in Saturday

All The Young Dudes

Then they had an interval to refresh and change costumes...

Then carried on with...

Hang onto Yourself

Ziggy Stardust

Changes

Space Oddity

My Death

Queen Bitch

Lets Spend The Night Together

Suffragette City

Rock 'n' Roll Suicide

Jean Genie

White Light White Heat

Heroes 

Sorrow

Rebel Rebel

Diamond Dogs

It was a packed night! 

After they played 'Suffragette City' the had a little break to say thank you to everyone, now Suffragette City is my favourite David Bowie song, so just the fact that they sang that made my night just that much better! But then it got even better than I could imagine...

During their thanks they had these prizes to give away, this man who'd been to a David Bowie gig in 1972 got a CD signed by Woody Woodmansey, he was speechless, as would I be, but then they said that they had one more prize. 

It was a signed book from none other than Angela Bowie (David ex-wife), this prize was for the best dressed, my friends and I got this prize, we were so excited! It made the gig so much more personal, not only did we see a David Bowie tribute, we got an amazing gift from it too!

This is me and my friends all made up, and ready to go.

At the end of the awesome gig, I wanted to have a picture with the man who'd made our night.... 

Me and Bowie ;)

So all in all it was an awesome night! If 'Aladdinsane' are playing anywhere near you you should go an see them!!

If you have any suggestions for music I shoudl listen to comment below or tweet me :) @LHutchon

The best support act...

So I have been to see only 4 gigs,

Friendly Fires,

White Lies,

Olly Murs ,

and,

Foster The People

And they all had their own support acts (obviously) and well in this blog I had a suggestion from someone that I should choose the best support act from the gigs I've been to...

So Friendly Fires...

SBTRKT

and

Chad Valley

Now neither of these musicians are really my thing, but as they were at my first gig, then I have a little connection with their music :)

SBTRKT, well I love their masks, and their stage-presence was really good, they knew how to own the stage and they really seemed to enjoy themselves, bouncing around to the beats they were creating. I enjoyed it very much, especially being right at the front.

Chad Valley, he was really good, more dub-step'y than I'd of liked, although he really doesn't stereotypically look like he would have his sort of tunes. When I saw him come on stage I thought, 'oh he looks like my sort of music man' well I was surprised, he's actually quite good, and incredibly skilled with his two mics.

Next, White Lies...

The Chevin

and 

The Duke Spirit

I really liked these to musicians, they are really talented and have really good music.

The Chevin, their epic sounds made me want to hear more, so after I'd seen them I liked them on facebook, followed them on twitter and had got one of their songs off of youtube, it was all very easy. I like their music, it was seriously good live! 

Duke Spirit, I liked them, it was nice to have a woman's voice being the support act, if I could hear it over the men behind me shouting 'You're fit'. But I liked her music very much so. She seemed to have fun up on the stage with her band and she really owned the stage.

Olly Murs...

Lilygreen and Maguire

and

Lonsdale Boys Club 

These two acts are just brilliant!

Lilygreen and Maguire did really good songs, my favourite was the massive collaboration of all sorts of songs, they were really nice down to earth people, 2 guys with their guitars.

Lonsdale Boys Club, I knew about them before I went to the gig, I knew pretty much all of their songs, so turning up to the gig and finding out they were there was just an amazing feeling, they are good looking chaps, and great musicians!

Now finally 

Foster The People...

Mini Mansions

and

We Barbarians

I like one more than the other...

Mini Mansions are well not really my thing at all, but my favourite one was their cover of Blondie's Heart Of Glass, it was really slow and different, they did it really well, it was a crowd pleaser.

We Barbarians on the other hand, were really good! I enjoyed them very much so! And being at the very front of the crowd I could near enough touch them, their music was different but brilliant.

So now for my decision, who's the best? 

Well to me my favourite, the one I can't get out of my head, that I can't go a day without listening to...

Lonsdale Boys Club, they were so good! I just loved seeing them, I'd do anything and everything to see them again!

So if you have any suggestions on what my next blog should be on, comment or tweet me :).
