Help Me Video

I posted this a while ago, but the YouTube clip was subsequently taken down. It’s getting harder and harder to find embeddable music videos on the site, which makes it harder to promote bands that you like, and so I don’t see how this policy of disabling embeds benefits the music industry in anyway.

Guitar Buying

Posted on July 18, 2008 - Filed Under Music | 1 Comment

Is it foolish to buy a guitar online, especially if it’s an Epiphone, since their guitars can be a little hit and miss? I want to play heavy, detuned stuff more often, but my Strat can really handle lower tunings because of how it’s set up at present, and anyway Strats aren’t really metal guitars, [...]

They don’t sound like an emo band to me…

Acoustic Versions

Posted on July 16, 2008 - Filed Under Music | 1 Comment

Why is it that I nearly always prefer acoustic versions of songs I like, even though I generally hate ’singer-songwriter’ type acoustic music? It makes no sense…

Bullet For My Valentine

I usually hate metal, but this band are really good. Plus, when I play their music in my car on high volume the whole car shakes along with the drums, which is pretty cool.
The song is called ‘Hearts Burst Into Fire’.

I only knew about half the songs he played, but that didn’t stop it being one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I was afraid he might shy away from playing some of his more rocking stuff, but instead he came out kicking ass right from the off. While he didn’t play ‘Harvest’, ‘Revolution [...]

New Alkaline Trio single. I thought it was pretty bad at first, but by the end of the video it’s quite obvious that it’s all intended as a joke. Good song too. The resolution is quite low but this was the only version available at the time of posting.

Broken Video

Posted on June 22, 2008 - Filed Under Music | Leave a Comment

Following on from the Broken post, I neglected to mention that Trent made a video to accompany the album’s music. It’s all available on YouTube, so I would be remiss in not sharing it with you. It’s rather graphic, so don’t watch it if you have strong objections to seeing naked guys mutilated and tortured. [...]

I wrote this a few days ago while I was in a bod mood and listening to Broken. I guess if the whole medicine thing doesn’t work for I can always go write for Kerrang! or some other childish music magazine…

Being in a bad mood, by definition, is not enjoyable. However, it is only under [...]

How strange that my two favourite bands both have great songs named “Burn”…
