Music 'n' What Not

So you've probably been wondering a little about the blog title, I mean every time a post has been published its been about music which only explains half of the title. But what does the rest mean? I wanted to be a music blogger because I love talking/hearing/discussing music, but I also love discussing other things out in the world like art, films or television programmes. This brought the name "Music and what not" together! With my main subject for posts focusing around music, I wanted there to be the occasional post about something different! So with that in mind, I'd like to introduce the first of many "what not" posts... ... Across the fashion world, a small intimate item is taking everyone by surprise and creating a powerful storm. I am of course talking about the bralette. Bralettes are a more delicate version of a bra that tend to have no wiring and are made of materials such as lace or even silks. This small item of underwear is taking ove...

Hey guys, December was a busy month with Christmas, New Year and family functions but here is the long and anticipated gig review of Light You Up! Hope you enjoy xo    Light You Up were playing the Asylum: we had to go. Our close friend were on the tour with them, diving and doing sound, so it gave us a chance for a catch-up and a good gig in one of our favourite venues. Beaumont:    Beaumont were the first band to grace the stage in the grotty little upstairs room. We hadn’t heard them before finding out about this gig, but after giving them a listen beforehand, we were definitely digging their music; but we had our doubts. With the vocalists voice, we were slightly concerned it may not be the same live, but boy were we wrong; our worries completely obliterated. He was amazing; in fact the whole band were. The whole set was very well timed and well put together the only thing we feel could’ve been better was their movement but this was totally not their fa...

   Songs that get stuck in your head can be the MOST annoying thing in the world, especially if they’re so catchy and absolutely awful. But today, I’m sat in work with two songs stuck in my head that are there for the complete opposite reason, they are amazing!    They are; Pvris’ White Noise and Paramores Fast in my Car.    Both are amazing, strong songs that are incredibly catchy; both lyrically and instrumentally. I can’t complain about having these songs running through my head today but it is very difficult not to sing out loud whilst dancing around the office.  A long struggle is set for the rest of the day, to hold it in until I’m home.    If you haven't already, be sure to check them out on YouTube, I've added some links below to both songs!  PVRIS - White Noise Paramore - Fast In My Car As always guys, thank you!

I always have (and always will have) a HUGE amount of love for Paramore. Right now, I'm sat in work, on lunch, with Proof playing in my ears. Fighting the urge to sing really loudly (and terribly) in the staff kitchen. Proof is one of those songs that's got a cheery up beat tempo, but is secretly a bit of a love song. The lyrics refer to missing someone, and wanting to see them, while having a slight fear about what they’re doing. There are definitely some hints of that stereotypical ‘psycho side’ that every girl has, but deny and fear. Ending the chorus with "the only proof that I need is you" brings back the cheeriness in the song. This is definitely a song I love, can listen to whatever my mood and can relate to on some levels. I hope you enjoyed, and look out for whats to come! Leanne xo Paramore - PROOF:
