Well I'm Not Perfect, Just All Messed Up


ok, so maybe I have no idea what is going on in the world of popular culture anymore

I mean, I live in London - hence I can listen to Virgin FM, or any other ok radio station (they are all pretty bad, and I HATE radio One)

And I have music TV, lots of it, too much for my own good... wohoo for MTV and Kerrang!

And there are gigs I can go to at any of the many London music venues

...and here I am in a vacuum

I haven't found a decent radio station, and the only gig I've been to here was my uncle's band, but they rock so that's ok www.purereasonrevolution.com

To be fair I have never followed music much, it was all too much effort, so I guess my music taste has been largely shaped by a few select friends (or one in particular...)

Anyhoo

So I found a link on Jessica Harp's website (she is the other half of The Wreckers - Michelle Branch's new band) to this band called The Veronicas

And I kinda liked their music

Listen here:

ok, so I admit I had more credibility listening to this sorta stuff when I was 17, but hey

Maybe you never get too old for girlie rock?

Or maybe this is a huge misjudgement, like the time I thought I liked Ashlee Simpson... and then swore to never admit liking her music again once I found out who her sister is!

Just wondered, are these guys popular in the "real" world? I have never heard of them before, and have no idea

I also think I might be a fan of Funeral For a Friend...

Also - Just Walk - they are surely hotter than Avril, I mean come on, they are twins!

  • You're right, they're hot! Twins are totally awesome, I wonder where I can find myself some...

    I love music, but am never with the scene... But one day I will! Just you wait.

  • yeah, maybe one day we could start a band, i would sooo love to be awesome at the electric guitar...

    Twins, um let me think... there are triplets i believe in my year who were in the newspaper as they all got into Cam for different subjects, but have no idea who they are...

  • latest news - so i kinda went off the Veronica's pretty fast, but they are still good

    but a bit irritating

    some of thier songs rock, others are a bit naff. Generally worth a listen

    mmm at the moment i am into investigating Do Me Bad Things, they totally rocked at the May Ball last year, the lead singer just has an incredible voice

    Do you like Less Than Jake? Gotta love skanking... am seeing them in April with little sis and friend... and xbf's little bro... what kinda idiot volunteers to take a bunch of 16yr olds to a ska punk gig? eep.

  • I'm not your typical "metalhead" but my brother introduced me to a band called Thrice and I like most of their stuff on here:

    Some of their older stuff's a bit heavy for my liking, but good for waking up in the morning :-)

    My favourite song of theirs is currently "Music Box", check it out.

    What's skanking?
