The Jam - English Rose

No words to describe this song, gets me everytime.

Song of the weekend - THE LIBERTINES VERTIGO

I've over played this song far to much this weekend, can't help it though The Libertines just seem to be the perfect band to listen to on any occasion - especially this song. From catchy up tempo guitar riffs, to the stand out sound of front men Pete Doherty & Carl Barat. Raw classic talent that has come from Britain. This band although unfortunately are no longer together have never failed to disappoint me. It really fucks me off that some people cannot see past their 'druggy' reputaion to appreciate the talent that has come from them. Maybe they should try it they might eventually manage to get their dumb heads out of their asses. It seems that the toughest acts to work with always seem to be the best, they even came from one of my favourite labels, what more can I say.

The Future is Unwritten

One of the biggest legends in the history of music. Still to this day he is inspiring, not just as a musicians, but for his outlook on life and the way he inspired many of the population. He changed the meaning of Punk, whilst he was in The Clash he infused his music with black music, making their sound stand out and appeal not just to a typical 'punk' audience. Punks had an extremist view on racism, Strummer didn't believe in any of that hence why they covered Police and Thieves originally by Junior Murvin. When he was young he said 'I'm gonna follow music forever and that's the way to live' - from coming from the background that he did, to get to where he was or even still is today is unbelievable. Aspiring musicians or musicians who have already made it need to look back at The Clash and The Mescaleroes and restore dignity back into their music. Well if you can call it their music, what happened to bands writing their own songs now a days. His lyrics were touching, each song was like a story, it's the music that you listen to and get goose bumps. It's songs that make you think wow - how can so much talent come from just one man. I don't want to forget the rest of the bands input though Mick Jones, quoted by Strummer - 'a better guitarist that I'll ever be', Paul Simonon -  'he didn't even no how to play the bass, then after 3 weeks he was better than me'. Now a days bands and artist just don't seem to have that umph, that background, those beliefs to put into their music. Future is Unwritten, a documented film on the man, the legend Joe Strummer.
