When I say 'recent' I mean pretty much some time in January of this year. Avalanche the indie Music store opened up on St Mary's Street and I was wondering how it turned out. It was a very small shop, which looked like it highly need to a revamp, mind you form the other times that that shop had moved it's normally in a bit of disarray, and dispite ( Read more... )

Now I'm interested by those who have a whole host of talents, and do lots of different things with their knowledge. Corey Taylor is one of those people, many may or may not know him as the front man from Slipknot and Stonesour. Though I find there are a few who down play him and say "He should stick to singing!", "I won't like his aggressive style ( Read more... )

Another blog about music... seems to be the only thing I know what to talk about at the moment but I'm cetain that'll change. The last three albums that I've bought around spring time have been metal bands of various veriaty. It's made me thoughtful of how differing this genra of music can fall into..... I'm talking about the following Cradle of ( Read more... )

I've been a fan of Gackt's work for years, he was the first Japanese Rock Pop musician that I got introduced to and so started my love of J-pop and J-rock. I was always uncertain of which albums to get by him; but I've recently settled for a couple of greatest hits/singes compolations and this is what I'm about to review. Please keep in mind that ( Read more... )

Syliva OSTI watched the Film of Sylvia Plath a few years ago, but I was taken by the haunting melan-cholic soundtrack ever since. While listening it's a bitter-sweet mix of other soundtracks like Michael Nyman's 'The Piano', and Philip Glass' 'The Hours'. It's most certainly something I'd play when I'm in a languid, pensive mood; like when I was a ( Read more... )

As the title may probably suggest after a long haitus of avoiding the television I have returned to watching TV. But to be quite honest I don't really no why I did, the package that we've got actually has nothing of any particular interest apart from reality show, or something similar to the 'change my life for the better' detritus that is ( Read more... )

I've just recently been listening (kinda bizarrely enough) to Avril Lavigne's latest stuff, and have found that her latest stuff is actually rather good, it's very much similar to her earlier stuff; Well no surpraise there but one or two songs might grate on you a little but not so much as her 'The Best Damn Thing' with the singles  'Girlfriend' ( Read more... )

To begin with my opinion of Christmas has changed over the years from sheer excitement and joy as a child, to pessimism as a teenager and open-minded-ness and appreciation as the young adult that I am. Though, I’m always curious to hear, others frustrated moans or undiminishing delight of the dark and magical time of year.

Many would concider ( Read more... )

The idea of teapots and  teacups came from the shape and colour of these objects, there is such a wide variety but I was drawn to polka-dots and checkered patterns mostly so this might be continued further. These images are quite old and are when I just started exploring these concepts, delicate and detailed willow pattern porceline and bold bright ( Read more... )

The main thing about what I can say about my life at the moment is I'm busy and well, I'm reasonably glad about this. Though regardless of how productive I'm being, and how I manage and use my time I'm left fretting about the usefulness of my labours and what will bring in the money. I think I'm not the only one working a temporary job, while ( Read more... )
