In my 100th post and on Halloween especially, I present the 5 scariest songs ever! And not the ones that are just shouting!


Radiohead - National Anthem
It spooks me out as soon as that sinister bass line kicks in, there's something evil in the track and Thom Yorke's vocals don't help out, been amplified with a weird metallic effect, he sounds like a squealing robot and i mean a robot IN PAIN. Plus singing "everyone's got fear" is just scary enough.

Arcade Fire - My Body is a Cage
The church organ does it for me, the lyrics are sinister and foreboding enough, but the organ, god damn it sounds evil and damning, like this tale leads to hell. The drum beat as well, what's that about? it sounds like it could jump out and attack someone

Justice - Stress
You'd be forgiven for thinking you were suddenly in some highly tense movie. The beat is just freaky, ain't it? building and building like danger is round the corner, I would not like to listen to this while out at night.

The Zutons - You've Got a Friend in Me
It's not the music here, but the sinister stalker lyrics, it's just frightening the prospect of what the singer describes.

We Are Scientists - Ghouls
I chose this basically because of the title, that's scary, right? It's got a slow, mellow but also frightening beat, the questioning lyrics sung almost monotonously add to the suspense/tension


So there you have it, I hope you're significantly more frightened than you were say half an hour ago.

100th post CELEBRATION TIME - waheeeeeeey what a milestone!

don't have a cold and or flu, just been really cold today especially shopping in b'stoke, surprised that it didn't rain. But I had fun today, got some new clothes, spending my hard earned wages. Felt like posting the following that I've recently listened to.

GUILTY PLEASURE ALERT!!!
Amerie - 1 Thing
one of my favourite songs of recent years, if only all r&b sounded this good.

Jamie T - Dry Off Your Cheeks

The Who - I Can't Explain
I can't explain why this fits so well in the trailer for new adam sandler film 'Bedtime Stories

also has elvis costello's 'pump it up'

We Are Scientists - Cash Cow

Keep forgetting to blog at all. I've been incredibly inactive on here in the past few weeks. There has been a lot of stuff happening recently seeing as I've been starting college and the workload stemming from that has piled quite quickly. Also still working so that cuts out time for me to write.

Well I'll try to do more! Starting here, this month I've got another article planned already which is of a good band I kind of know.

Today, a smattering of older songs, all from a few years back now, still pretty brilliant.

Death From Above 1979 - Go Home Get Down

We Are Scientists - Worth The Wait

Archie Bronson Outfit - Cherry Lips
I just realised I haven't ever really gone into detail about how much I love Archie Bronson Outfit, the album 'Derdang Derdang' is amazing. Just purely fantastical.

N*E*R*D - She Wants To Move
This song is a case of hearing it but not knowing the artist, till the other day when I saw the video for the first time. It's a great song that you need to hear if you haven't

Till next time

I've finally oh finally been listed on Hype Machine! YEAH!

Some reason, it's picked up only a few of my older posts so far. I don't personally understand the process of it picking up all the different tracks but I'm sure it will eventually work better (if thats the right word)

This is a celebratory post. I'm writing at 11 when I was just planning on checking emails, now i'm posting and i have work in 10 hours.

Just put these songs on my phone, they're rather good and I like them alot. So they fit. AHA

Friendly Fires - Jump in the Pool

Lightspeed Champion - Tell Me What It's Worth

We Are Scientists - Impatience

My hits have just gone over 10,000 too, noice!

Ok, second in the annual posts; since last week the following tracks have been on repeat on my walkman phone

first the Hot Chip cover of Wiley's 'Wearing my Rolex' - i believe its better than the original!
Hot Chip - Wearing my Rolex

Side project (or is it first band?) of Morgan from Does it offend you,Yeah? very good I must say
Plugs - That Number
EDIT: I apoligize, I realised that I have put up a remix file rather than the actual song, I'll put it up in my next post

I really like the new WAS single, 'Chick Lit' the video is ace!


Also at this current time I have to say I have been really enjoying Audioslave's 'Cochise', it's old but oh well, it's good to have a mix now and again
Audioslave - Cochise

And to round off this week, it's The futureheads, for along time my favourite band until I properly listened to Radiohead, I think that this is such a great song! Hopefully their 3rd album delivers on the promises of revitalising their career
Futureheads - Broke up the Time
