Eryn’s First Group of Random Music Reviews
^_^’’
Ok, here’s a note to all the random avid
readers I don’t have; Sorry! The following is going to be completely
random and please keep in mind I really have no clue what I’m talking about
^_^;; And I make faces too much, but its an addiction and probably
my most healthy. So, here goes nothing…
Ace of Base- Obviously Bob Marley for angry
girls of the early nineties…ignoring that good Ole Bob is a pacifist…or
at least a really big pot head, which I suppose adds up to the same thing…oh
well *shrug* And I’m not saying I dislike either of these artists.
Everything has its moments
Chumba Wumba- Alright, I know many people
have automatically written off this band due to some unfortunate overplaying.
But this is a completely unfair assumption. It’s simply ABBA gone
to Britain and discovering computer synthesizers to an almost frightening
level. If you like techno, or any type of harmonizing, it really
is a good band, I swear it. And the songs have some either completely
hilarious messages or some incredibly good ones. “I only know two
tunes, Silent Night and God Save the Queen, and the only way I can tell
the two apart is that during one, everyone stands up…”
The Pogues- Amazingly wonderful great worthwhile
band necessary for all future happiness in life. True, I only have
two of their CDs (but then again I have no clue how many they have…) Peace
and Love (a bit of backwards Vash for all of those who that appeals to…^_~)
and Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash, which scarily enough probably appeals to
the same group of people…o.O. But its Irish rock and if any of you
have a problem with that you can kiss my FUZZY ARSE!!! Good songs
that I highly recommend- (ok, all spelling might be wrong for the record)
“Sally Maclenainn”, “Lorelei”, “A Pair of Brown Eyes”, “The Sickbed of
Cucculian”, “My Blue Heaven” (which is where Phoebe, Hillary, and myself
will be when our time finally comes…if I believed in it ^_^;;)
Flogging Molly- More Irish stuff kids!!
But greatness, nonetheless, or in my opinion, because of ^_^. Different
then The Pogues, but both have their high points. Mostly fun and
fast-paced, with a few good slow stuff that’s conveniently sad. “I
want to believe in myself once again, so I dream of a man who’s hopes never
end to kiss with a girl who’s as lovely as you, I’d give you my heart if
you gave me the truth…” “Black Friday Rule”, “Far Away Boys”…many
many more, almost everything on Swagger, but I don’t know the names to
all of them ^_^;.
Dropkick Murpheys- Ok, I have only heard
a total of two songs by this band, but both were massively fun and great,
so I recommend them, and, to go along with the theme, its Irish!
Manau- Ok, this is Rap…the only rap I tolerate.
It’s also Celtic style, which helps…oh yeah, and completely in French.
Which is great if you’re me and can actually understand it here and there…and
in truth, it better be great for everyone else, because if it weren’t,
it would mean the world had lost all good taste.
The Push Stars- Ok, I know barely anything
about them either, but any band that can produce A Little Drunk is Better
then Dead –and- Everything Shines is automatically wonderful and worthy
of this list of goodness.
Okey, kids, that’s all for now, and I know
you’re all thanking your lucky stars that’s its finally done, if you’ve
even gotten this far.
*~Unavoidably detained by the world, expect
me when you see me~*
Love Always
