Top Ten Week 1

I had to put this song into my top ten this week because it is one of those songs that just hasn't got old. i listen to the light grenades album regularly and this is one of my favourite tracks off of it.

Rancid - journey to the end of the eastbay
This song is just an amazing punk tune from the esteemed bay punks Rancid. this song to me is one of tjose summer tunes that makes you feel good, and lets face it at this time of year when its cold and wintery we need songs like this.

Taking back sunday - your own disaster
This song by taking back sunday hits my top ten this week mainly because of the vocal melodies. i think they are absolutely awesome. the song is a bit weak in places with song structure etc but alas it was only ever a demo and never amounted to anything more. wich just goes to show even though TBS wrote an absolutely brilliant song with tons of potential they only go with their best cut stuff. a raw emotional demo and a must have download for any TBS fan.

akala - this is london

ever heard the Clash mixed into a grime track? no well then say hello to Akala brother of the infamous Ms.dynamite i chose this track because the lyrics are really good and the tune is awesome (how could it not be, being set to that awesome bassline from the clash London Calling).

any retro gamers out there? ever get the urge to feel like your running through your favourite game? this song is an amazing mix of awesome 8 bit sounds composing all the music from a gameboy and performing live with one aswell. this is a must have for any retro gamers and retro emos alike. i believe this will suit all of those electro indie kids down to the ground aswell.

whenever i listen to this song i just feel so happy =D its so upbeat and fun you have to download this.

i was introduced to daggermouth by a good friend of mine and i must say ever since i have not looked back they are a phenomenal band with an awesome punk rock sound, hard , fast and great melodys. they remind me of the bouncing souls in a lot of ways but mainly because of their bass lines.

I had to put this track into my first top ten of the year as a dedication to my sweetheart.

This is one of those songs that is so sickeningly romantic you cant stop listening to it. its really pretty the whole way through and you truly can feel the passion they are trying to convey. the build ups are nice and i guarantee you and your girlfriend will be singing this one for a long while. enjoy.

another mushy mushy song from one of the greats Elliot Smith. the acoustic guitar in this is way beyond it is so beautiful its unbelievable. the lyrics woah hell are they good. this song always makes me feel good. i dont think theres been an occasion yet where it hasnt cheered me up.

This song is a great british anthem in my opinion. i love the lyrics and the vocals. his voice is exceptional. this song is great to skate too and will always remain in my mp3 player. a truly great song.
this song made it on here for one reason. i had my media player on shuffle and this song popped up and made me smile =D i hadnt heard it in ages and it was great to hear it again. i mustve listened to it twenty odd times since it popped up yesterday.
