Top Five Tracks Right Now…
I’m not an authority on music. Hell, considering my first ever concert was S Club 7 (when I was, ironically, seven) I don’t think I should be allowed to be an authority in anything. Especially since my music taste makes my mother go running to the hills, hands over her ears and wondering how long it’ll take her eardrums to grow back (then again, that phenomenon may just be a side-effect of the whole ‘having a teenager/rock music devotee/fashion blogger as a daughter’ thing).
Regardless, here are five songs I’m loving right now. Love them too. Or throw darts at the picture of me on the ‘About’ page. I’m not too fussed either way…
All Time Low
I Feel Like Dancin’
Alright, alright. It’s a little cheesy. And it’s a far outcry from those punk pop ‘Jasey Rae’ or ‘Six Feet Under The Stars’ beginnings which I loved so much. And maybe it’s a little too mainstream to be labelled ‘musical genius’. But, screw that…the oh-so-appropriately named song just makes me wanna DANCE.
Deftones
Rocket Skates
Masochistic/disturbing lyrics meets heavy rock and awesome screams. It’s a song to make your grandparents cry. Which reminds me…mine are visiting in a few days. Casually blast this on repeat perhaps? Standard.
(DISCLAIMER: I don’t actually blast my relatives into madness with loud music. Even if my love for black and orange hair makes me look like I’d be the type…)
Hole
Skinny Little Bitch
Props to Courtney. She’s 46 and still rocks. And still wears crazy dresses and glitter on her face. It’s almost inspirational. Forget growing old, I’m gonna dress like a fairy and play rock ’n’ roll when going to collect my pension… (but don’t hold me to that one.)
The Blackout
Higher and Higher
Like, you know, I don’t want to burst anybody’s musically idealistic bubbles or anything, but I don’t entirely understand why when locked in a moving articulated lorry, you would feel the need to start a band jam. Would the more pressing issue not be: ‘Crap, how the hell do I get out of this?’ No? Okay, I agree. Spontaneous band jamming for the win. Anyways, these guys had a new album out last week, and from the parts I’ve heard it’s a beast. Check it out.
Young Guns
Stitches
I saw these guys when they supported All Time Low last month and they were pretty insane. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a support band take the stage like they own the venue. Insane energy definitely present. Their music is pure powerful rock, and it…er…rocks. (Awful pun = completed).
Keep moshing.
