I’ve written a fair few articles about Nicki Minaj and how impressed I am with her success. Let me be clear from the start of this immediately scathing article though, and say that she’s one of my favourite new artists in years, inventive, original and a female rapper worth caring about. But as the title … Continue reading
This time last year I was recovering from a truly shocking Grammys, which saw 2 of the big 4 awards go to outsiders. The awards themselves were as predicted in 2012, and while I’m here to take a look back on last night’s action, I’ll try and keep this brief. The whole night was … Continue reading
I must have looked very stupid following my 2011 Grammy predictions, where I said the award was Bieber’s to win and eventual winner Esperanza Spalding was just included to round out the numbers…but the rest of the internet was as surprised as me with the eventual result. This year is just as difficult to judge, … Continue reading
Moving on from the full fat albums vying for wins at this year’s Grammys, we have the next from the Big Four, Record and Song. Last year Lady Antebellum scored a double for their brilliant Need You Now, and with 4 artists being nominated in both categories, the same could happen again in 2012. I’ll … Continue reading
There’s a week to go until the biggest night in the music calender, a night that is sure to cause drama and surprises whether you like it or not. The Grammys are renowned for making poor decisions when it comes to nominations, and often baffling decisions when it comes to giving the awards out. I’ll … Continue reading
TUNE of Right Now: Give Me All Your Luvin’ (Feat. Nicki Minaj & M.I.A.) – Madonna If I took into account the whole week that has just gone, my TUNE of the week should probably be Kelly Clarkson Stronger or Swedish House Mafia Antidote. But I knew what song would be on repeat by the … Continue reading
It’s been a while hasn’t it? I planned to carry on writing end of year lists well into January, but following my return to Uni the blog took a sideline so to speak. It’s time to stop dwelling in the past and look to the future though with the first in a new weekly update … Continue reading
10) Bon Iver – Bon Iver Kicking off the top 10 is a truly expansive album. I hadn’t heard of Bon Iver until he appeared on Kanye’s record last November. Then came the cover of Skinny Love by Birdy that made it’s way onto the charts, and Justin Vernon was a bonafide Blogger’s darling. The … Continue reading
25) Inna – Hot Some may laugh my pick for number 25, I choose to see Inna for what she is, a eurodance act that couldn’t be more generic if she tried. I doubt anyone could listen to Hot and not immediately need a few days on a beach somewhere. Taken for what it is … Continue reading
The next two lists I like to think of as my 10 favourite TV shows, and later Films of 2011, rather than the best, as I’m not a huge movie goer and my TV watching is restricted by what shows I have watched from the start. Let’s kick this off then. 10) Eureka (Season 4) … Continue reading
