WHAT'S MY NAME

BY SIBYL VANE

RAISING SANDBY ROBERT PLANT & ALISON KRAUSS

THIS MUST BE ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER PRODUCED IN THE 21st CENTURY AND I'VE BEEN ITCHING TO PUT IT ON THE BLOG. WHEN ROBERT PLANT FROM
LED ZEPPELIN COLLABORATED WITH BLUEGRASS-COUNTRY SINGER ALISON KRAUSS AND RELEASED THIS ALBUM IN EARLY 2007, THE CRITICS CLAIMED THAT IF ANYONE ELSE HAS A PLAN OF MAKING A DUET ALBUM OF LOVE SONGS THIS YEAR, THEY SHOULD DROP THEIR PLANS AND STAND BACK BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN "RAISING SAND". AND IT IS A MASTERPIECE IN EVERY ASPECT OF MUSIC YOU CAN IMAGINE. 

"THE LITTLE
BLACK SONGBOOK"

BY WISE PUBLICATIONS

THE LITTLE BLACK SONGBOOK IS A HUGE AND HOPEFULLY GROWING SERIES OF BOOKS THAT SHOULD BE THE BIBLE AND BEDSIDE BOOK OF EVERY GUITARIST. THERE'S THE COMPLETE 86 PIECE LED ZEPPELIN BLACK SONGBOOK, ANOTHER ONES JUST FOR AC/DC, CAT STEVENS, OASIS, JOHNNY CASH, LEONARD COHEN AND A BUNCH OF OTHER ARTISTS AS WELL AS GENERALLY THEMED BOOKS FOR THE 80'S HITS, FOLK MUSIC OR ACOUSTIC HITS. THERE ARE SO MANY I COULDN'T COUNT. WHAT YOU GET IS ORIGINAL SONG ARRANGEMENTS WITH CHORDS, CHORD DIAGRAMS, TAB-S AND LYRICS - ALL YOU NEED FOR TO LEARN AND ENHANCE THROUGH THE MOST LEGENDARY ARTISTS IN THE WORLD. HAVEN'T YOU EVER WONEDERED, HOW JIMMY PAGE PLAYED THAT SICK RIFF OF "BLACK DOG"? OR HOW THE CHORDS GO FOR COHENS "HALLELUJAH", OASIS'S "WONDERWALL" AND MANY OTHERS? GET IT!

NEEDING/GETTING
BY OK GO 

OK GO SHOULD NOT ONLY BE THE NAME OF THIS BAND BUT ALSO THE VIDEO. AS IT REVEALS, THERE STILL IS A FEW WAYS OF MAKING MUSIC THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF. ENJOY THE GENIUS OF THIS ONE.

BOY ALIVE

I'M HIS GIRL

BY FRIENDS

BUILD A ROCKET BOYSBY ELBOW

IF YOU DON'T KNOW ELBOW YET, YOU SHOULD START TO KNOW THEM NOW. THEY'RE ONE OF THE MOST INNOVA-TIVE AND ENHANCING ARTIST'S OUT THERE. YOU MAY KNOW THEIR FIRST BRAKETHROUGH HIT "GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE" OR THEIR EASTER EGG SENTENCE IN IT "MONDAYS IS FOR DRINKING TO THE SELDOM SEEN KID". UNDOUBTEDLY, THIS, AS WELL AS THEIR FIRST ALBUM, IS A MUSICAL MASTERPIECE. IT IS SO LAYERED YOU NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO IT VERY CAREFULLY, AS YOU WILL ALWAYS DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW. GREAT MATERIAL FOR A BIG SOUND SYSTEM TO BITE INTO. ELBOW HAS GROWN TO BE ONE OF MY VERY PERSONAL FAVOURITES IN JUST A FEW YEARS AND SINCE I'VE SHARED MY THRILL WITH FRIENDS, IT HASN'T LEFT ANYONE COLD,
THIS MUSIC JUST DOESN'T.

"POP MUSIC -
THE TEXT BOOK"

BY PETER NICKOL, JULIA
WINTERSON & TOBY BRICHENO

THIS GLORIOUS AND IN-DEPTH BOOK TRACES THE DEVELOPMENT OF POP MUSIC FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT DAY, INVESTIGATING THE INFLUENCE OF EACH GENERATION UPON THE NEXT. I FIND IT ESPECIALLY ESSENTIAL TO KNOW YOUR ANALYSED MUSIC HISTORY FROM FACTUAL MUSIC HISTORY, TO UNDERSTAND WHERE IT COMES FROM AND WHAT HAS IT GONE THROUGH. I THINK WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE DETERMINELY SAYING "POP MUSIC IS CRAP" WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT IT IS OR WHAT IT HAS BEEN. SAYING TO THEM "YOU KNOW ROLLING STONES WAS POP MUSIC BEFORE IT BECAME WHAT YOU THINK OF IT" MAKES THEM THINK YOU'VE GONE MAD. BEFORE SAYING IT'S ALL WORTHLESS, GET YOUR NARROW MIND THROUGH THIS 184 PAGE GENIUS.  

GOLDEN LOVES GUITAR

LET'S TOP THE WEEK'S FEED BY SHOWING YOU THIS DOG. YOU MIGHT THINK THIS IS ANOTHER VIRAL FUNNY VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE, AND IT IS. BUT IT'S ALSO THE VERY CORE OF MUSIC AS A PHENOMENA IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT. EVEN A DOG, WITHOUT ANY OF THAT MASS PSYCHOLOGY BLURP HELPING ALONG, GET'S THE GROOVE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE IN ANY KIND OF MUSIC THAT WE MAKE TODAY. IF IT DOESN'T EMBRACE YOU AND YOUR FEELINGS, I THINK IT'S NOT WORTH MAKING. HAPPY VALENTINE'S BY THE WAY.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS WEEK'S ADDICTIONS, STAY TUNED AND WAIT FOR THE NEXT FEED SOME TIME NEXT MONDAY
