This word has been cropping up a lot lately. What's that phenomenon called, where you learn something new, or like you get a new car and then you see that car everywhere?
Well anyway:
Blun-der-buss/' ’bləndərˌbəs/
Noun: A short barrelled, large-bored gun with a flared muzzle, used at close range.
An action or way of doing something that is regarded as lacking in subtlety and precision.
1 - Looper
2 - Jack White's debut solo album. Which by the way, is pretty awesome. I am going to see him perform at Ally Pally in a few weeks so more about him later. (I am beyond excited; I love the White Stripes and would give anything to see them live, but seeing him will be almost as good, and good enough!)
So I recommend giving his album a listen, if you like slightly quirky, alternative music that has good guitar riffs, intricate piano and, as ever, intriguing lyrics supported by unique vocals.
Also, if you like folk-y music you should check out the band The Lumineers. I heard their song Ho Hey on the e-on energy advert (that is about kettles?!) and was immediately hooked on the upbeat, punchy guitar and anthem-esque drum beat - but not overly chant-y - with it's catchy lyrics and the urge to dance along a little. Or clap your hands at least.
*(nb, I re-wrote this today because the formatting was pissing me off. I downloaded their album yesterday and haven't stopped listening to it since! I really like their folky sound, and their lyrics are really interesting. The songs are different too, they don't sound too samey, which is always good.)
I did some YouTube-ing for y'all and I found this:
And if you like that then you might also like Jake Bugg. He's got quite a unique style, heartfelt lyrics and guitar music that feels like it could be used in any film to convey most emotions. I think I will give him more of a listen this week.
But for now, bed.
Enjoy!
