GEORGE EZRA // HAIM // COLDPLAY //

Wassup my homies.

I've got three brand new songs for you to check out:

1) GEORGE EZRA- CASSY O 

I love this guy and understandably I therefore love all his music.

Every song to me is an example of utmost perfection. I really cannot

fault him, and new offering 'Cassy O' is no exception.

It's got a real sense of soul, purpose and joy, not to mention the catchiest

hookline you will probably hear all year.

2) HAIM- IF I COULD CHANGE YOUR MIND

My fave girl group EVER, because of their irrefutable coolness

and way of showing that girls CAN PLAY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

AND make decent rock and indie music are back with a new hit that once

again reminds us how AMAZING they are, and a video

that sees the girls bringing back synchronized dancing

(and making it look pretty damn cool).

3) COLDPLAY- MIDNIGHT

As ever with Coldplay, Chris Martin's claims that their newest album

'might be their last' are once again proven to be false with the band putting

out a new single, 'Midnight', at midnight, completely out of blue.

Like tigers prowling in shade of the African outback, they've apparently been

waiting for the perfect time to pounce with this new beauty that is a complete

departure from 'Mylo Xyloto' but not a far step from recent release 'Atlas'.

Don't you just love music?

HAIM-A-HOLIC

Sometimes I get these moments where I just

really wish I was a member of Haim. Or that my sister would 

let me make a band with her so we can be like Haim too.

We both have long hair and she can sing like

Whitney and Beyonce and Gloria Gaynor when she wants to

and I can play the guitar so y'know, it's plausible.

Of course Derby, UK isn't as glamorous or jealousy inducing

as California, USA but it doesn't matter where you come

from, or at least not that much.

If you aren't familiar with Haim by now,

please get yourself on You Tube and look up their music

because it's just awesome and they are awesome

and so cool and fashionable. 

Or, you could buy their incredible début 'Days are Gone' 

if that's what floats your boat.

Haim, as you may have guessed already, are

a trio of sisters -Alana, Este and Danielle- who hail

from California and all their family are so musically gifted

that they formed a family band and played gigs together!

 How cool! The only thing my family is gifted at is singing 

the Sound Of Music soundtrack together, word for word, 

harmony for harmony.... 

Somehow it doesn't quite compare.

In a few months time they'll be heading here to

the UK for their first headline tour and if you follow

this link you can go grab yourself a pair of tickets and

make me super duper jealous because I haven't

bought any yet.

It kicks off at Rock City, Nottingham (the gig

nearest me) on the 4th of March so click like the wind

on the link below my lovelies

'CLICK FOREST CLICK'

I love Haim because they're a kick ass

girl group who the music industry has taken seriously.

They all play instruments, they can all sing, they all dress

achingly cool, they all stand for female

empowerment and that 'don't bullsh*t me' attitude.

Heck, Este's twitter name is Jizzy McGuire for pete's sake!

So whenever I'm in need of a girl-power-boost, eg. when one guy

thought I was incapable of using powerpoint (b*tch 

please I've been using it since I was eight) I whack out 

my ipod and put on a Haim track and all is right in the world.

So yeah, to conclude, I'm a self confessed Haim-a-holic and

if we all use this term enough we might be able

to get it into the Oxford Dictionary.

BOO YAH.

HERE'S SOME OF MY FAVE HAIM TUNES

FOREVER

DON'T SAVE ME

THE WIRE

FALLING

COOL

Cool.

We all want to be it.

Heck, when I walk around college, I want people to look

at me and for even one split millisecond just maybe,

possibly think that I'm cool.

I don't know if they do, but we can all dream right?

To be cool, as in, proper cool,

as in, not 'popular crowd' cool, you need to radiate some sort

of fearless, head strong, assured vibe that other people

can pick up on and be like 'damn, wish I was like that'.

You need to be an individual, your own person,

wear what you want, be who you want, and hope that someone

somewhere is looking at you thinking

they want a piece of whatever it is that you're having.

So yeah COOL COOL COOL.

Here's my list of cool people:

1) Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club
(Bender you beauty)

2) James Dean

3) Matt Healy (The 1975)

4) Alex Turner (ma bby 4 lyf) 

5) Haim (my girls)
