Music

Blogging from bed! Fantastic.

Been endlessly listening to music during the last 3 or so days and, starting with The Cribs I feel I'm becoming significantly more enthusistic about music and am certainly enjoying it more.

I'm mainly refering to 80's jangly pop rather than Coldplay or The Police or something like that. Indie. More raw and therefore less refined. Hopefully more soul too.

Not keen on the endless derivative bands of the mid and late 80's who don't seem to last longer than 3 years and only make 1 album or 3 singles or something. The Popguns are great. Of course The Wedding Present are brlliant. I've listened to a whole lot of lo-fi and folk too.

Vocal melody is far more important than I've previously given credit for. As is dynamics and instrumentation. Even which chord inversion to use. All this music I'm sure is doing me some good though. It's inspirational.

This on-screen keyboard is highly forgettable though.
