Snowboarding and music
Posted by Chris @ 5:03 pm
Well, finally, after a lot of falls, bruises and bumps, I have joined Dawn in passing my level 6 snowboard lesson, meaning I can board down the slopes of Sheffield unaided by costly instructors! Hurrah!
On the way back from my triumph I listened to Muse - Absolution in the car. It has been released for a while now, but listening to it again it still sounds fresh and absolutely amazing. If you've not heard it get clicking on the link above and have a listen, then buy it! I've also bought the album of the band of the moment, Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not. Bit of an odd one this, it is good, don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure all the hype that surrounds it is justified. And it is a bit too short for my liking! However the second album I bought didn't disappoint. Despite being in the top 10 albums at the moment, when I mention Editors - Back Room to people they go who? Chances are you've heard their songs (especailly tracks 2 and 3), but just not realised who they are. Again, I strongly suggest you listen to the clips on the link above, and then buy the album!
If you have heard these albums then let me know what you think of them. Always interesting to get different opinions on music, no two people have the same taste!

I think the reason for the success of the Arctic Monkeys is that it has broad appeal. It's basically taken he street wise everyman era defining philosophising of Mike Skinner and wrapped it up in a musical form more people are comfortable with.Muse - it's alright, quite a fun album.
Not heard The Editors, but I like the album cover. See what I've done there? I've quite literally judged an album by its cover. If only there was some site where I could record this opinion.

I'm confused. You're linking to a website where I can buy CDs, you're telling me to buy them, yet I don't see any affiliate code in the links. What's going on? Am I missing something?If I buy those CDs, what's in it for you (apart from a warm fuzzy feeling that you've influenced by CD collection)?
It's really not like you to miss an opportunity like that... ;-)

I did think about postponing the post until I had an affiliate link with a music site, however I thought sod it, I'll let this one pass! So I'm quite happy with a warm fuzzy feeling for now. When that has faded, then I'll come in with the cold hard sell!This comment posted by
