Same Another New Year! Same you! Shame on You!


I have to make damn sure where i am heading, heaven can wait, i am only watching the skies hoping for the best but expecting the worst. honestly i always wonder are you gonna drop the bomb or not? coz i dont really believe anyone at all even myself.
For me ,It's so hard to get old without a cause, I don't want to perish like a fading horse galloping away in labour all my life.
Youth's like diamonds and fun in the sun and diamonds are fun forever.
But m forsaking all that coz nothing beats my dreams for her .i keep on repeating this to myself and now this is the last time she's gonna hear this from me. so m telling her, there are so many adventures that couldn't happen today, so many songs i am trying to forgot to play and so many dreams swinging out of the blue and i am just gonna let them high and dry.
coz just like i told her before( and right now), i am fed up of being fed up.
It might be a placebo or the real thing, i ain't sure but i work for a cause....and m decided.m gonna let them come true or else m so outta here.......
keep smiling faker!

Merry aXe-mass (Cold Turkey)






















(These)

Time kills me.
Seasons fail me.
I just can’t see
(Why)
I wanna fly
I don’t wanna let it be
I want a change
But ‘m stuck in this orphanage.
Mebbe they will hear me someday
(hear my cries, my song )
And take me away
for a Flight all along
on board a spaceship
of freedom and friendship.
I belong somewhere up above.
I long for a whole lotta love.
Though it is somewhere
It is nowhere.
It is there in the mind
But then it’s something you can’t ever find
Here in this place
full of empty spaces.

I don’t know
Whom they are trying to kid?
The Psuedo joy is contagious and rabid.
It`s Christmas time they say and so they fell a tree
(Decorate)
Fill a kill, a turkey
But don`t they know it’s all foul
Hey!The plants and the birds have souls
(Celebrate)
The coming of another new year
But only to the end they are getting near.

everyone thinks` m a raincloud (when i ain't looking)





I am the king of dreaming in a wishful way when I am wide awake. Maybe it's true and I'm just a fool but there comes a time and I see that what I'm needing is a feeling to believe in .It's an unknown state in the place I cant find, and I have kinda lost my way but I keep the faith with an open mind. Someday I will find a love that runs deep through me and everything will flow. I feel better when I hear them say, everything will be wonderful someday. I like to laugh so my friends won't know. I can smile with all these tears in my eyes. I tell the kids that it is all okay .I think thoughts that I know are bad but I close my eyes when I am too sad. Then I count to ten and hope it's over when I open them. I make believe that I have a new life and I dream adventures that would make me smile.
Yet my world is on fire, everything I touch fall to bits. I'm waste deep in the burning meadows of my mind. I have been in the engine in cold December, shooting fire from the hose. I thought I could fit in, blend in all the mess where nothing is hard, nothing is precious, and nothing is smooth or flawless. But I am no longer amused. I want the things that I had before, like a Star wars picture in my bedroom door. I wish I could count to ten and make everything alright. But that is the way I like it and I am never bored. Beauty has got a live Me, and. though I aint the sharpest tool in the shed, just a nicotine junkie singing for a kodacam but it feel so good being cheap. I watch the skies for the mystical machine gunfire, and that is the riddle of my life.
In the age of the chimpanzees, I was a monkey. I was half a human and I looked for wars' solution. I was a hundred miles in the ocean, I didn't show no emotion. But now, the cold hearted boy I used to be is changing; still I am learning the things I ought to know by now. It's under the table, so I need something more to show, somehow!
Still, I am happy, I am feeling glad. I have got sunshine in a bag, in my back. I am useless, but not for long; my future is coming on. It's coming on, it's coming up roses! I'm in the sky tonight, I am breaking through, I am bending spoons, I am keeping flowers in full bloom, I m looking for answers from the great beyond. I'm on my way.

Morning Glory,Different story












In the year 1995 the Britpop movement reached its zenith. The famous "Battle Of The Bands" found Blur and Oasis as prime contenders for the title "Kings of Britpop". Spurred on by the media, the "Battle" was headed by two groups - Oasis' brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher representing the North of England, and from Blur, Damon Albarn and Alex James representing the South. This "Battle" was epitomised when, after some back-handed marketing, Oasis' Single "Roll With It" and Blur's "Country House" were released in the same week. The event caught the public's imagination and gained mass media attention - even featuring on the BBC News. While this battle raged on Pulp took the spots with the magnificent single "Common People" and Suede with their "Trash" and "Beautiful Ones".

Kings of Britpop - Blur vs OasisIn the end, Blur won, selling 274,000 copies to Oasis' 216,000 and the songs charting at number one and number two respectively. However, in the long-run, Oasis' album (What's the Story) Morning Glory won the popular vote over Blur’s The Great Escape, outselling it by a factor of 4 or more. In the UK, What's the Story spent a total of three years on the charts, selling over eighteen million copies and becoming the second best selling British album of all time. Oasis' second album is widely considered to be the definitive Britpop album capturing the essence of the attitude and the Cool Britannia movement.

(In Britain and Ireland it became popular for a time when asked "What's the story?" (lit. "How are you?"), to answer with "Morning glory".) The media went even further, branding the movement "Third British Invasion", because of it massive popularity at the time and because acts represented particular musical influence or movement in their music, which led to more or less media-generated conflicts between the bands, as was the case with previous bands and movements.

"We prefer your extinction to the loss of our job."

"Heeryor lunboks. Hoffa gut tay askool."



there i go























walking for miles and miles
down these crowded streets
it's been a while!
i've been chasing flies
trying to catch just a single smile.
Now it hurts me deep inside
more than my feet,
sore and hardened though!
sore and hardened enough
walking down those empty streets
full of people going nowhere.

Now i wish i had taken the other road
`should have ignored the signs on the boards,
Neon lights of happiness
just a make-up to hide the darkness
a fill-up for all the emptiness!

All these people working in graveyard shifts
dressed in thier funeral suits,
An illusion of life and bodies awake
While It is all just a gathering at a Wake.
The Girl could just go drown in the Lake.
They are just Names
Everything is all the Same.

someday i will treat her good but someday never comes

everything that's made is made to decay
well I'm shrinking bones in the sun
won't you tell me why that
the beautiful ones are always crazy
she's whispering like morticia now



I left my baby on the side of the road
I left her with a heavy load
something going on around here
I could not crawl back if I tried
I left my baby on the side of highway
she just couldn't see things my way

Shooting Fascists


Manic Street Preachers


Blackwood, South Wales (1986 – present)

Manic Street Preachers (often known colloquially as “The Manics”) are a Welsh rock band often associated with the resurgence of British rock in the early 90s, who gained mainstream popularity in the UK at the time. They are known for their intelligent and often political lyrics and have a dedicated cult following. Although during the early part of their career they were regarded as a punk rock band, their music is now often generally regarded as alternative rock, due to changes in their sound. Co-lyricist and guitarist Richey James Edwards (Richey James, as he preferred to be known) mysteriously disappeared in 1995; his whereabouts are unknown.

Politically, the Manics appear as a socialist group — a stance inflected by their working class upbringing in Blackwood, South Wales (they grew up during the miners’ strike of the 1980s) as evidenced by their often highly politicised lyrics and actions (they once dedicated an award to Arthur Scargill, leader of the National Union of Mineworkers and later the Socialist Labour Party). The band also played a highly publicized gig in Cuba.

They came together in 1986, when James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire, Sean Moore and rhythm guitarist Flicker formed Betty Blue in the small South Wales town of Blackwood. Two years later, Flicker had left and Nicky’s friend Richey Edwards (previously the group’s driver) joined in his place.

another agaetis byrjun


2005's Takk... brought Sigur Ros an audience they never expected to reach, the transcendent strings and choirs of "Hoppípolla" gracing just about every radio station in the world. After 2007's live album Hvarf/Heim and film release Heima the band returned with Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, the meaning translating roughly as With Buzzing in Our Ears We Play Endlessly. The Icelandic group used the new album to strip back some of the ethereal elements of their previous work, and recently finished a world tour which saw the group playing as a stripped down four piece for the first time in over seven years.

Launching the album with free download “Gobbledigook” it was clear that the new album was going to be a punchier affair. Erratic drum thumps and howls litter the track and singer Jón Þór Birgisson's vocals are breathier and deeper than on many Sigur Rós classics. Jónsi's trademark non-language Hopelandic makes fewer appearances on Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust than it does in previous albums, and “All Alright” became the first Sigur Rós track to feature vocals in English.

till the day i die


you watch and see
and find that it's all funny
till the day you die
and you find that they all do cry
like you did for them
and life's never been the same.

How To Discern Between Indie and Emo Music

(This is an other article i found while researching on the net and in continuation of the ongoing Issue i have been writing about, i have uploaded here .I just wanna say sorry to the writer if i have infringed on her copyright Whatever)
Anyway here it goes:

Some independent bands may indeed have an Emo sound, but this does not make them the same thing. They are both blanket terms that cover not only musical genres but lifestyle choices as well.
A Snapshop of All Things Indie
Indie is a shortened term for "Independent Rock." Simply put, music that is produced independently instead of by mainstream corporations. Indie musicians are never confined by the restrictions of a major label, which gives them complete control over the quality and content of their music. While it may be more difficult to DIY in the music world, the rewards that accompany complete musical freedom are much more important to musicians taking this route.
There is no definite sound that accompanies the term Indie. Rather, there are no required musical rules and regulations to ensure that something is considered Indie. The only actual requirement is that a major label does not put out the music.
That being said, there is a certain sound that has developed within the Indie community. There are a great deal of emotive Indie bands that pride themselves on complex acoustic guitar lines and multi-faceted poetic lyrics. These bands, in turn, influence other bands and the signature sound is carried on. While these bands do tend to be more emotive than traditional bands, they aren't necessarily Emo. But it is obvious where the confusion comes from, as you may be able to list a few Indie bands under both terms (Elliot Smith, Bright Eyes, Cursive). Though, this sound, in no way represents all of Indie music as the term covers a wide range of artists and styles ranging from the angst filled punk rock of the band Saving Face all the way to the folksy antics of singer/songwriter Ani DiFranco.
A Snapshop of All Things Emo
The term Emo is relatively new, it refers to music that is particularly emotional or musicians that are partial to spontaneous and strongly emotional performances. While there are no clear qualifications to be considered an Emo musician,a certain sound is generally associated with the genre. Although, sometimes there is much controversy about whether or not to label a band Emo.
The Emo movement started out as a sub genre of hardcore Punk music, but that isn't necessarily true anymore. While many Emo musicians do embody the soft core Punk Rock spirit, this is not required. Emo music often employs soft guitar riffs accompanied by melancholy lyrics that tend to dwell on love and loss. This genre has been heavily marketed and has seen much commercial success in the recent past. There are no regulations on who can produce the music, it can be heavily corporate music or independently released as long as it is highly emotive.
Bands like, Alkaline Trio, Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, AFI, Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance can all be considered Emo bands.
Thus, Indie and Emo music are quite different. Indie musicians must put out their own albums; this is what makes them Indie. Emo musicians must produce heavily emotional tracks, this is what makes them Emo. Again, they do cross over, but they are not the same thing.

Poor You and Poor Me


Whenever the heavens shed its tears

To drench you in torrents of pain

And you need shelter from the rain.

Somehow I always sense your fear,

Like you are still there

Even though you are long gone

Far away from me,

forlorn and so left alone.

And I don’t wanna just let it be.

I can see just what you’re trying to hide.

Though you need me by your side,

You just don’t wanna be true!

You just don’t wanna be You!

But I don’t wanna just let it be.

Say what you say.

Go put on that badge

Proclaiming “I am Brave,”

all the way to the Grave.

You are wheeling around in an empty cage.

Though you deserve it all

I can’t bear to see you fall

I wanna set you free

I don’t wanna just let it be.

The Last Shadow Puppets


The Last Shadow Puppets is a project of Alex Turner@Arctic Monkeys & Miles Kane of The Rascals, along with James Ford, a composer and produce, on the drums. In August 2007 NME reported that Arctic Monkeys lead singer Alex Turner and lead singer of then newly formed The Rascals, Miles Kane would be recording an album with James Ford producing and playing drums.Turner & Kane became friends when Kane's previous band The Little Flames played support for Arctic Monkeys on their May/June 2005 UK tour. The Little Flames also supported Arctic Monkeys on their April 2007 UK tour, when Turner and Kane wrote songs together for a collaborative project.Their collaboration extended into Arctic Monkeys material, with Kane playing guitar on "505", the closing track of second Arctic Monkeys album Favourite Worst Nightmare and on "Fluorescent Adolescent" b-sides "The Bakery" and "Plastic Tramp". Kane also guested on "505" and "Plastic Tramp" at several Arctic Monkeys gigs in 2007, including the summer mini-festivals at Lancashire County Cricket Club and Arctic Monkeys' 2007 appearance at Glastonbury. The initial recording of the album took place in France in late August 2007 with additional material added between August and December. In December Owen Pallett was appointed to arrange the strings, brass and percussion for the album with the 22-piece London Metropolitan Orchestra. During the recording of the album Turner and Kane hired a documentary film-making team, Luke Seomore and Joseph Bull, to capture the story of the project. The Age of the Understatement On 20 February 2008, the duo revealed they would be known as The Last Shadow Puppets and that their album would be titled The Age of the Understatement to be released on 21 April 2008. The album went straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart. The first single, "The Age of the Understatement" was released the week before on 14 April, with new song "Two Hearts in Two Weeks" and covers of Billy Fury's "Wondrous Place" and David Bowie's "In the Heat of the Morning" (a song previously mentioned by Turner as a favourite as b-sides. The duo have said they took inspiration from Scott Walker and early Bowie. The second single, "Standing Next to Me", was released on 7 July 2008.The third single from the album will be "My Mistakes Were Made for You". The album was nominated for the 2008 Mercury Music Prize but lost out to Elbow's The Seldom Seen Kid. Second album Kane mentioned in an interview with The Sun that The Last Shadow Puppets will probably record new material in 2009. The band played their first ever show in Brooklyn, New York at Sound Fix Records on 4 March 2008, playing a second gig at the Lower East Side's Cake Shop the following night. The Last Shadow Puppets played a short two song set on 5 April at the Lock Tavern in Camden, London. They played "Meeting Place" and "Standing Next to Me" in support of Remi Nicole, who organised the party both to celebrate her birthday and to raise money for MS sufferers. The band have also performed on Jools Holland's show Later... with Jools Holland, with producer James Ford on drums, Stephen Fretwell on bass, John Ashton on keyboards and Owen Pallett conducting the string accompaniment. The duo also played on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on 5 July. The band played a secret set at Glastonbury on 28 June 2008 with Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders playing drums on "The Age of the Understatement" and Jack White of The Raconteurs and The White Stripes playing a guitar solo on "Wondrous Place". On the 4th of July 2008, the band performed Standing Next to Me as part of a birthday present for Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 1. They also performed a cover of Rihanna's SOS. The band and a 16 piece orchestra played two intimate live shows as warm up sessions for Reading and Leeds Festivals 2008, at Portsmouth Guildhall and Oxford New Theatre. In October and November 2008, the band embarked on their first full headlining tour of the UK, which was generally well-received by both fans and critics.

the thin fat ine between indie and emo

ok ,this aint mine...but i have been researching a lot on these and these are some of the excerpts that i found.NEway m posting more...gonna keep it coming,so so long folks...wait for some more on this......


Indie
comes from independent and is characterised by
perceived independence from commercial pop music and mainstream culture. In the UK, indie music charts have been compiled since the early 80s. The word "indie" is often used to refer specifically to various genres or sounds in a realm of music that runs parallel to more commercial music Indie is not strictly a genre of music although the term is often used to reference the sound of specific bands and the bands they have influenced, but is often used as a term covering a wide range of artists and styles, connected by some degree of allegiance to the values of underground culture. Indie artists are concerned more with self-expression than commercial considerations. Indie artists of any particular time often go against the prevailing trends.

The term indie is now used to identify variety of bands like The Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, The Kooks, Interpol...

Emo is a genre of music and has come to describe several independent variations of music originally in the USA. The classification of bands as "emo" is often controversial. In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe a subgenre of hardcore punk. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore". The term emo was derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and strongly emotional during performances. Bands have gone to great lengths to explain why they don't qualify as "emo". In many cases, the term has simply been attached to them because of musical similarities, a common fashion sense, or because of the band's popularity within the emo scene not because the band adheres to emo as a music genre.

The term emo is used to identify a wide variety of bands like Death Cab for Cutie ( emo band??? ), Fall Out Boy, From First to Last, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Story of the Year, Taking Back Sunday, The Used , Underoath...

Back with Everybody

One of the Fab and my Fav British band, Verve have reformed. The band fronted by Richard Ashcroft, have decided to get back together after almost a decade apart to tour and record new material.(GURANTEED SWELLERIFIK)

The band which comprises of singer Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bassist Simon Jones and drummer Pete Sailsbury, in a joint statement, said, "WE are getting back together for the joy of music"
The Verve went through numerous bust ups and temporary splits disbanded for good in 1999, after Ashcroft and McCabe's strained relationship finally snapped. Their 1997 album 'Urban Hymns' achieved huge success and spawned a number of hit singles including 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' and 'The Drugs Don't Work'. After the split, Ashcroft went on to release three solo albums, 'Alone With Everybody', 'Human Conditions' and 'Keys To The World'.

And now here's what they have delivered , another set of Urban Hymns....






Considering that in a career nearly spanning 20 years that this really is the Verve's fourth album it's not really surprising that there's an aura of anticipation in some quarters. While the band's most obvious fellow-travellers, Primal Scream, have at least managed their personal lives well enough to stick together, the rock 'n' roll soap opera of drugs, exhaustion and Richard Ashcroft and guitarist Nick McCabe's feuding lends a suitably lurid subtext to the music. But it doesn't show on the surface. The band sound unbelievably healthy here.

Anyone expecting a new direction will be disappointed. While Ashcroft's solo years have tightened a few of these ten songs, by returning to the more spacey territory of their classic years the band have delivered an album that will go down smoothly with fans. We get the epic, anthemic moments such as opener, Sit And Wonder, and first single Love Is Noise, alongside the cavernous, reverb-drenched, trippy numbers like Judas ("you know the trip has just begun"). Only Valium Skies may perhaps lurk a little too close to the strings-and-repetition formula of Bittersweet Symphony. .

Ashcroft's faux-american accent still pays homage to Mick Jagger, especially on the Beggars Banquet-era lurch of Rather Be, yet, overall, Forth is really owned by McCabe. His multi-layered, jitttery psychedelia always provides enough distraction to keep the material sounding fresher than it might have. There's a sense of the band taking the leash off and letting it hang, like a post-rave Floyd. Numbness combines David Gilmour's early 70s licks with Ashcroft whispering and intoning like the ghost of Malcolm Mooney. All very cosmic. The only place where this goes a tad too far is on the meandering Columbo - a thudding stadium thumper bolted onto a three-minute jam. Yet even here the production almost rescues it, the looped strings being mind-meltingly intriguing as they blend with more skyscraping six-string work. There really are some genuinely haunting moments here, not least the basic piano vamp of I See Houses.

As to whether you find this kind of exploration worthy of your attention in this post-Roses era is down to whether you missed them in the first place. Forth won't convert anyone who never bought into the band's second-hand stonerisms and Northern braggadocio. However it does mark a very considerable return to active service. Already given a heroes welcome at every festival appearance so far, it seems that for the faithful amongst us, The Verve are well and truly back.
