Little things I should have said and done
Little things I should have said and done
todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — I'm guessing there's isn't a single person that doesn't like this song. Or at least can't relate... to it. Feel free to be the exception to the rule but it just seems to be one of those songs that strikes a chord with just about everyone. An eternally relatable song. Crossing generations, genders ...

Pick your Fantasy Festival
todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — The news that U2 are to headline the Glastonbury Festival seems to have been greeted with a... mixed reaction. Some disparaging, some encouraging. Personally I couldn't care less because once again, I'm not going. That said, if I was going, I wouldn't especially be bitching about U2 because ... (more) Pick your Fantasy Festival

todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — Certain songs are guaranteed to get me dancing on a night out. 'Babies' by Pulp is one... of them. It's a certified indie disco classic. That teasing guitar intro ringing like a bell to Pavlov's dogs. I may not salivate as such but there's definately some conditioning at work. A subconcious ... (more) I heard you stop outside the door
I just threw my blues away
I just threw my blues away
todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — Today, it’s exactly 15 years since I first heard the debut album by dEUS . Now, you... may be wondering how I can be so precise on the timing, so I’ll explain. ‘Worst Case Scenario’ was one of the CD shaped presents I ripped the wrapping off on my 17th birthday. Today is 15 years since my 17th ... (more) I just threw my blues away

todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — I'm feeling lazy today. So I thought I'd just use this post to answer the question that... Sheena left in the comments of my last post. She wondered what the second album that defined 2008 for me was. Well the answer shouldn't come as a surprise to, well, anyone really. Not only did I gush about ...

todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — The problem with an album you absolutely adore, is that the band in question has to follow... it up. Which probably sounds like a stupid statement to make. Obviously they have to follow it up. The problem isn't the logistics involved in following for the band, it's the fear of disappointment that ... (more) Dip a toe in the ocean

todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — Nostalgia has always played a part in the music of Luke Haines . Scattershot references to the... people, places and events that informed his childhood litter his work. From Auteurs lyrics that detail the minutiae of British ‘culture’, through the explicit use of the Baader Meinhof name, on to ... (more) It's starting to all make sense

todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — If I had to choose one word to describe the new Idlewild album, I'd go with reliable.... Or maybe dependable. Two words which, if I was talking about a new car could be deemed as positive. But in the context of an album review? Well that's a different matter. Or at least, I guess it depends on ...

Morrissey - Birmingham Symphony Hall 23/10/2009
todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — It's seems Guinness are right. Good things do come to those that wait. Five months after the... show was postponed through illness, Morrissey finally arrives at Symphony Hall. Or as he prefers to dub it, Sympathy Hall. And what a way to make an entrance. Striding confidently on stage as the band ... (more) Morrissey - Birmingham Symphony Hall 23/10/2009

todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — I started 2009 dismissing White Lies entirely. But my position has shifted somewhat as the year’s gone... on. Not a complete thawing of the ice cold reception I initially gave them. Just a less cynical one. Where once I dismissed them as a thoroughly watered down version of Editors doing an ...

todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — What is it they say about the best laid plans? Something about them never running smoothly I’m... sure. Well if nothing else, my intentions were honourable. You can’t take that away from me. The day before we were due to fly, while my girlfriend was packing, I hastily rearranged the contents of ... (more) The sun shines in the bedroom when you play

todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — Well that was a dramatic pause. In case you were wondering, I've been on holiday in Tunisia.... And having spent 10 days laid out by the pool lounging on a sun lounger in glorious sunshine and sweat inducing heat doing nothing except soaking up the rays, I'm the midst of the post holiday blues. ...

todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — Here's a random mix for you. No reason for it. Just some songs that I've not gotten... round to fitting in any posts but that I think deserve to be heard. So I thought I'd herd them all together like rogue sheep into this random mix. Enjoy. Broken Social Scene - xerxes (live acoustic session ... (more) All we've ever had was now

todiebyyourside.blogspot.com — Whenever I listen to Beth Orton 's debut album, I always end up wondering where did it... all go wrong? 'Trailer Park' is such an amazing record that everything she's released since has been such a disappointment. From the moment I heard the opening strains of the whale like violin that ushers ...
