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
