IT'S BEEN A WHILE...

Unlike my other posts, this has not been pre written or even given much thought to. This has to be one of my first impromptu posts. My writing is kinda rusty right now, haven’t written in quite a while. With exams and procrastination taking away the top spots, blogging has been pushed down, very unwillingly though, to somewhere at the bottom of the list…but hey, it still has a place, right?

Well, this post is about nothing in general. Just a way of getting back to writing. I do plan on writing more frequently and ‘expanding the blogs horizons’ in this vacation. Since I started the blog around a year and half ago, there have been quite a few changes. Both in me and my writing, which means there will be changes in here as well. I don’t think I’ll particularly stick to posting poems and an odd article here and there. From now on, I’ll post anything that catches my eye or I find interesting. Good, the plan is beginning to take shape now.

Anyway, I’ve been listening to a lot of new artists lately.Exams equals to double the music and I’ve been hooked to a few of them. Can’t stop listening and wonder what I did all my life without them, okay that’s exaggerating it. But seriously, some of these guys are pretty darn fantastic. One in particularly is this chap called Damien Rice. Never heard of him until a few months ago and I’m sure a lot of people haven’t heard about him either. He’s Irish and incredible. His songs have this feel to them, that makes you want to listen to them over and over again ‘coz every time you listen to them, there’s something new in them. Most of his songs feature Lisa Hannigan, another Irish artist and they compliment each other excellently, like they were born to sing with and for each other, especially in the track ‘Volcano’. Has to be one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long long time. ‘The Blower’s Daughter’ is another song that I can’t get enough of. He has released two albums [0 and 9 and the album covers are very innovative!] and I’m still to listen to a few of the songs. Can’t wait to download them.

So I guess that’ll do for this post.

Current Mood: Satisfied
Current Music: anything by Damien Rice :)
