Music at Musings - I Blame Coco, All Time Low, Kaiser Chiefs, Sohodolls, Sons of Admirals, Sum 41, Vanessa Carlton

Hello, and welcome to Music at Musings! 'applause and sounds of fainting from audience' Yes, it is me! And look, I have three new followers! That brings me to thirty-two! I've hit the thirties! Hooray! Thanks everybody! Let's roll!

I Blame Coco - Self Machine

The way Coco sings and acts is so ethereal, so graceful... I think I act like that sometimes. At least I try. And the song is really catchy, and I just love it!



All Time Low - Weightless

This is easily one of my favourite songs from Nothing Personal, in the same thread as Sick Little Games. I love the first verse... 'Manage me, I'm a mess, turn a page, I'm a book half unread, I want to be laughed at, laughed with, just because, I want to feel weightless, cause that should be enough...' Awesome.



Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God

My opinion of Kaiser Chiefs really depends on the songs. Some I like, and some I don't. This is one of the best. Sing-along choruses are so much fun!



Sohodolls - Stripper

It's incredibly sexy (It's called Stripper!) and a brilliant rock song. Sohodolls, who are from London which officially makes them awesome already, say their sound is a cross between 'decaying and desperate glamour' and 'savagery and sex'. There you go. (I think I say awesome too much. Too American.)



Sons of Admirals - Here Comes My Baby

Remember my Charlie McDonnell post two days ago? Of course you do! Well, I forgot to tell you he's in a band, called Sons of Admirals. The name comes from an Elizabethan acting troupe called the Admiral's Men, which were second only to the Chamberlain's Men, Shakespeare's troupe. The Admiral's Men all had jobs and careers outside of acting, but still got together often to put on plays. Sons of Admirals, Charlie McDonnell, Alex Day (I'll have a post up on him soon!), Tom Milsom and Eddplant, all have individual careers outside the band as fantastic YouTube musicians, but have put their talents together and covered Here Comes My Baby by Cat Stevens, and this the result! Personally, I think it's excellent. Watch it to the very end!



Sum 41 - With Me

One of the many things I'd like to be when I grow up leave school is a music supervisor, and choose the soundtracks for movies. I do it all the time in my head. For this song, I would imagine the heroine fleeing an unresolved fight with the one she loves, cutting to her walking through the streets of a carnival, the carnival being oblivious to her pain. Either something like that, or she goes to a Sum 41 concert.



Vanessa Carlton - Nolita Fairytale

Oh God, this song is so good! And when you realise they gave the Bieber kid a record deal, and not dear Vanessa... 'shakes head sadly'



And that's it for Music at Musings today! Stay safe people, and y'all come back now! Or something.

High-Fives,
