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

Social Clubs
Hello again, Guys and Gals.
I've just spent a few hours listening to a band that I only just recently discovered. The Ocean Party!
Their album Social Clubs was one of the albums that I was given and I've found it hard to stop playing it over and over again.
The music is steady, not too fast or too slow. The vocals are fitting to the feel of the music and gives off an overall calming feeling. Perfect for just sitting back and relaxing under the shade of a nice tree and reading a good book. (This may have been how I was listening to it).
Alright, so I know my skills at reviewing things are terrible. I mean, I can't give you details on instruments or chords or stuff like that, but, in all honesty, I enjoyed listening to their album so much. It's absolutely brilliant.
Another great thing about local talent is that they're generally more open to interactions. Especially over twitter. The Ocean Party, while they may not be as popular as other groups, are in my opinion a great lot of people! One day I'd hope to go to a gig, or maybe even meet them. Then again, I'd like to meet everybody, but it's the thought that counts.
To learn more about the band, you can visit their twitter, facebook or bandcamp pages (or just google them). I sincerely suggest, if you're a fan of indie music or just generally interested in hearing something new, that you give them the benefit of the doubt and give 'em a listen. You certainly won't regret it.
I give them a 5/5 because they made me feel relaxed, even though I've been studying for exams that are tomorrow and I feel a little ill, and especially during work.
Keep listening, until next time.

P.s - I'll get the hang of writing someday, but until then, here is what I have to give you. I'll go read some other blogs and try to learn a thing or two, but I started this because I can and I enjoy listening to music; not to please other people.
