The Kooks

Definitely one of my favourite bands (although you probably wouldn't really care) are the Kooks. The Kooks are like the unsung heroes of music.

They are so good yet not very well known, or appreciated, it makes me angry knowing that more people adore a red headed idiot (I haven't got anything against red heads by the way) singing oh na na a what's my name? while Luke Pritchard of the Kooks is off writing deep, meaningful songs about loads of different things, but mainly love. My favourite story is Sway and I love songs with stories, they are just so much better. Anyway... I'm guessing that what he is trying to say in the song Sway is how he had a friend (probably an ex-band member) who got so hooked on drugs and dependant on them that he became a recluse and just didn't come out and the rest of them loved him and would do anything for him, but in the end he died. Depressing, I know, but stories in songs make it so much more interesting and meaningful.

Here are a couple of my favourites below although I honestly think that out of both their albums they only have one or two under-average songs, they are just amazing and almost every song is just quality. There albums are: Inside in/ Inside out and their second is Konk.

The Blog Itself

I wish I could take credit for the videos and pictures shown on this blog, but I can't. None of the images on the entire blog are taken by me, nor do they belong to me, likewise with the videos.

To begin with, the posts on here will be taken from my other website which will shortly be taken down. Then I will move to this one permanently and post regularly (or whenever I can). I always have a hard time describing my taste in music, so hopefully, through this blog, you will get some sort of insight into the music I like. It also happens to be the best music. I will post nothing but the best. Other than the occasional rant.

I will post articles about some famous bands, some of the most famous bands ever in fact, but I will also post articles on bands I believe to be just as good as these bands, but are so unheard of they cannot even be found on youtube. I listen to all of my music on Spotify, and with the bands that don't have songs on youtube, it would be difficult to convey their music to you. So I would be extremely grateful if anyone could leave a comment on how to link Spotify songs onto this blog. 

Thanks.

P.S. Please understand that my music taste does indeed change at points, so do not be surprised by a mix of certain genres or styles. Also some of the earlier posts were written far earlier than they were published, so please excuse the sort of childishness about it - it will get better soon.
