A week in the making

Well, hello again.
I have an announcement to make, and I think it's rather huge.
Are you ready for it?
I don't think you are... But I'll tell you anyway.

I've been blogging for a whole week! YAY! Yeah, that may not sound like big news, but for me it's fantastic. The longest I've ever actually done something for. I always seem to just give up...
Well. Not anymore!

There is another reason I'm here, and it's just as exciting.
In celebration of my week long attempt at creating and managing a successful blog, I'm going to give you all my 'Top Five' pick of the week. And depending on how long I last on here, this should happen every week. Get ready for this, it'll be awesome!

First Round - Top Five tracks from the previous weeks albums.
1- Part Time believer (Moonfire, Boy and Bear)
2- In a Knot (Social Clubs, The Ocean Party)
3- Mirrored Hall (Emerald City, Knievel
4- My Only One (Moonfire, Boy and Bear)
5- Waiting (Social Clubs, The Ocean City)
(It was very hard to choose five, but I think I made good decisions)

Second Round - Top Five tracks I've heard recently
1- Take the Night (For Our Heroes)
2- Little Talks (Of Monsters and Men)
3- Young Adult (The Voltaire Twins)
4- We Could Have Had It All (The Hush)
5- Show the World (Today is Ours)

Third and Final Round - Overall pick of this week
1- Little Talks
2- Take the Night
3- Part Time Believer

And that is the reason I came here today. I hope you all enjoy my top choices of the week, maybe there will be more next time to choose from.
I'm always looking for new music to review, and if you have any suggestions please feel free to drop me a line. I can be found here, if you need any help. Haha.

Well, it's been a fabulous week so far and I'm looking forward to many more.
Until next time,
- Emy xx

Emerald City

Hello again again.
I assume you've noticed the title of today's blog and thought, "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." But, I'll have you know, this post has absolutely nothing to do with The Wizard of Oz.
Actually, I'm here to tell you about Knievel's new album.

After taking a break - for twelve years! - the band has picked up again, releasing 'Emerald City' after two years in the making. Listening to the album (another that I had received from an unmentionable source) gave me hope that talent doesn't disappear, even after years.

I  seem to be listening to a lot of music fromt the same genre at the moment. But, I can't help it if it's all just so good.
The album, titled 'Emerald City', was upbeat and instantly made me feel happy. In fact, being able to tell people about it makes me happy. I love being able to share me musical experiences with other people, especially when the music is brilliant.
As it happens, I tend to be overly obssessed with vocals, and the vocals in this song basically made my brain melt -In a good way! It was brilliant to hear such nice sounding voices along side such nice sounding music.

If you would like to learn more about Knievel they do have a website, but I had trouble finding other sources, and, in all honesty, the webpage didn't work for me. I'm hoping you have better luck.
In any situation, though, the album is well worth giving a listen to.
I'm so glad they brought out another album, because - had they not - I probably wouldn't have known about them. But I know now, and that's all that matters.
                                     Here is the cover to their latest album. Enjoy, lovelies!

If there's something you'd like me to take a look at, or suggest (because, come on, I need more usic in my life), drop me a line and I'll check it out.
Until next time, fair strangers.
